Plans for a new Spurs Arena in downtown San Antonio are taking further shape.
The University of Texas Board of Regents approved a motion that gives the city of San Antonio the exclusive option to buy or lease the land where the Institute of Texan Cultures sits and immediately begin negotiations with UTSA about the property.
According to local reports, the plan is for both a new Spurs arena and double a baseball stadium downtown in the next few years.
It appears as though the Spurs arena is set for the ITC property across Highway 281 from the Alamodome.
Utah State's Athletics Department held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Logan on Friday for its newly completed gymnastics locker room, which is next to its practice facility on campus.
The locker room includes 22 lockers, a lounge and study area with flat-screen televisions, and the James and Heather Bohm Nutrition Room.

- A developer group has filed formal construction plans with the city of Grand Rapids, Mich., for an 8,500-seat soccer stadium, marking at least a $108 million investment on the city’s west side. The Grand Rapids City Planning Commission is scheduled to consider Grand Action 2.0's special land use request at a March 28 meeting. The soccer stadium is one of two skyline-changing projects the power-broker group chaired by Carol Van Andel, Dick DeVos and Tom Welch is working to develop in Grand Rapids, along with Acrisure Amphitheater. The project is expected to require an “initial investment” of $108 million for the conceptual design stage. It's estimated that the facility will employ 260 people, according to the planning application.
