Step Inside: Frost Bank Center – Home of the San Antonio Spurs

Home of the San Antonio Spurs

The Frost Bank Center in San Antonio is a year-round hub for some of the best sports and entertainment in Texas. Opened in 2002, the indoor arena is the home of the NBA‘s San Antonio Spurs.

Additionally, the Frost Bank Center (formerly known as the AT&T Center), which is located on the east side of San Antonio a mere ten minutes from downtown, hosts concerts, wrestling and monster-truck events. The annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo — which is regularly recognized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association for being the best large indoor rodeo — rounds out the Frost Bank Center’s diverse slate of offerings.

Frost Bank Center History

Prior to moving into the Frost Bank Center, the San Antonio Spurs played in the AlamoDome, a legendary indoor venue that could hold close to 40,000 people for basketball games. However, when the Spurs recognized the need to be in a more modern facility, they opted to team up with several stakeholders for construction of a new arena.

The Frost Bank Center was built right next to the Freeman Coliseum on the city’s east side and opened in 2002 as the SBC Center before being renamed to AT&T Center in 2006 due to SBC’s merger with AT&T. In 2015, the AT&T Center completed more than $110 million in renovations, which included new seats and upgraded concessions, high-definition TVs, LED displays and screens, and a massive, video-driven scoreboard. In 2023, AT&T chose not to renew its naming rights contract, and the arena’s name was changed to Frost Bank Center.

Name a music genre, and the Frost Bank Center has probably booked it at some point. The arena’s roster of concerts reads like a who’s-who of music, as the space has hosted the biggest pop stars (Madonna, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers), rockers (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Eagles), rappers (Post Malone), reggaeton acts (Wisin & Yandel) and metal bands (Metallica, Iron Maiden), and popular Latin or South American artists, including acts like the Mexican band Maná and Colombia superstar Maluma.

Each year, the Frost Bank Center is also home to the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, an 18-day event that features not just a variety of rodeo events, but also a carnival, live music, shopping and an abundance of food and drink. During other times of the year, the venue also hosts family-geared events such as Shrine Circus and Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, as well as various wrestling events, such as WWE Monday Night Raw.

The Frost Bank Center was previously the home of the San Antonio Stars, the WNBA franchise that moved and became the Las Vegas Aces in 2018.
