San Antonio Spurs supporters are organizing a rally this Monday at downtown’s Legacy Park as a last-ditch effort to build support for a new, publicly funded basketball arena.
The event, dubbed “Vote, Spurs, Vote,” will kick off at 6 p.m. and feature a guest appearance from former Spurs star and NBA Champion Sean Elliott.
Other high-profile attendees include celebrity chefs Johnny Hernandez and Jason Dady, Centro CEO Trish DeBerry and San Antonio tech entrepreneur Lorenzo Gomez III.
San Antonio developer Weston Urban is sponsoring the event.
The rally comes days after a poll conducted by UT-San Antonio found that the largest share of Bexar County voters surveyed, 46%, were opposed to a publicly financed new downtown arena.
The rally is being held on the first day of early voting for the Nov. 4 election, which runs Oct. 20-31.
Residents can check if they’re registered to vote and locate polling stations by visiting the Bexar County Elections Department website.
