There was a real threat that the Spurs would be moved and my family became involved in the 90s. Holt said that they would not let that happen now.

The Spurs play their home games at AT&T Stadium. The team wants to play two home games in the Moody Center, which will host University of Texas games. The official told the commission that the franchise is trying to expand.
