The Frost Bank Center will make its grand debut Saturday, Oct. 7, during the team's annual Silver and Black scrimmage.
The Spurs first unveiled the naming rights deal with San Antonio-based Frost Bank in August. However, the East Side arena couldn't officially be renamed until paperwork cleared with the league, officials previously told the Current.
On Friday, team officials said old AT&T Center signage will begin to come down this month, and AT&T Center Parkway is in the process of being renamed. Even so, street and highway signs will likely take a few months to replace.
Although AT&T Center Parkway is being renamed, folks can still type that address into their GPS to locate the stadium, Spurs officials added.
