Bringing this over from the previous discussion:

A win-win would be to move the Institute of Texan Cultures somewhere that takes up less land. It's something they've considered anyway, so maybe the Spurs/city could help finance the move as part of an agreement to use the land. Hell, maybe even incorporate a new museum design into the arena project so it's right there for sports fans to easily discover and visit. Have mandatory promotions at Spurs games as well to encourage people to check it out. Ad space on the electronic signs and have the announcer mention it before games/at halftime.

This could happen.... Maybe the museum must go, but I never disliked its' "Apelike" design very much at all."


Attendance at the ITC is never going to increase much, especially by tipsy sports fans. It's a boring place to visit. But having its new home paid for by a Spurs/city PPP would check all the boxes to make a new arena happen on the current huge piece of property taken up by this sparsely attended museum.
