Frost Bank Center, Indoor arena in East San Antonio, Texas.
Frost Bank Center is an indoor arena in east San Antonio, Texas, that seats over 18,000 spectators. The structure spans multiple tiers with seating sections, club areas and private lounges surrounding a central event floor.
Ground was broken in August 2000 on a site beside the Freeman Coliseum, after Bexar County voters approved a hotel and car-rental tax to fund the arena in November 1999. It opened in 2002 as the SBC Center, costing $175 million, with $28.5 million from the Spurs. SBC became AT&T in 2005, the name changed in January 2006, and Frost Bank took over the naming rights on September 22, 2023.
Since 2003 the arena has hosted the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the country's main agricultural fairs, alongside Spurs games. The Jessica Redfield Press Box, named in 2012 after a former Rampage intern killed in the Aurora theater shooting, can be pointed out inside. WWE pay-per-views Tables Ladders & Chairs 2009, Vengeance 2011 and Hell in a Cell 2018 were held here.
Visitors find the arena on Frost Bank Center Drive in east San Antonio with parking lots around the grounds and connections to local bus routes. Major events can draw heavy traffic, so arriving early is helpful for navigating the area with ease.
The main screen inside ranks among the largest video installations in an American sports hall and offers close-ups and replays from every angle of the stands. Renovations in the mid-2010s also brought improved acoustics that become especially noticeable during concerts.
