San Antonio’s minor league baseball team could have a new downtown stadium as early as 2028, paid for in part by tax dollars from the City of San Antonio and Bexar County, according to a letter local leaders penned to a Major League Baseball executive last month., shared with the San Antonio Report on Monday, indicates that local leaders are treating the stadium as an economic development generator and neighborhood revitalization tool for the area northwest of downtown.
“The Ballpark is envisioned as a multi-purpose venue for a myriad of community events designed to activate the adjacent San Pedro Creek Culture Park and include accompanying public spaces and uses,” Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai and Mayor Ron Nirenberg wrote to Major League Baseball’s Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations, Morgan Sword. “
The letter outlines plans to create what it calls the San Pedro Creek Park District, including an assessment district and a development authority.
