But now that it's apparently really happening...I don't know. Why is VIA going to build an ART train that will connect Zarzamora to Downtown to the Frost Bank Center when it will soon (presumably) no longer house the Spurs? Will the Frost Bank Center eventually be demolished? Are we just building Alamodome 2.0? I won't be too sorry to see the ITC go but if it's between a brand new sports arena and housing for thousands of locals, replacing the housing demolished in 1968...what's honestly the most important thing?
If there is a legitimate successful train one day thats in a similar style to the Metro Rail connecting Downtown Houston and the NRG Center/Astrodome...what's the point of a Spurs Arena downtown specifically? Doesn't seem like there's much communication with VIA and those in City Hall wanting an Arena. And what about all the East Side residents promised benefits of the Spurs Arena that never developed? So sorry you're shit out of luck?

No clue what the point is of anything you just typed. It’s all over the place and disjointed.
The Spurs will build a new arena downtown at the ITC. The Frost Bank center will remain there as well Freeman. That’s an events site for the rodeo as well as whatever the county can get booked at the FBC.
A mass transit connect is smart regardless of what will happen with the Spurs move to downtown.
