Cityscrapes: Why are San Antonio’s city leaders so apparently ambivalent about Project Marvel?

Cityscrapes is a column of opinion and analysis. As sparse details have trickled out about “Project Marvel,” the city’s grand scheme for a new Spurs arena at Hemisfair, a convention center expansion, a new hotel, Alamodome improvements and a new highway deck, one thing has been conspicuously absent. No one has stood up and announced what greater purpose the project serves, why it’s necessary for our community and why they support it.
