Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs’ Eight Game Win Streak

Austin Economic Impact: What We Know
While 2026 economic figures have not been publicly reported, there is a clear benchmark.
In 2024, reporting indicated that two Spurs games at Moody Center generated an estimated $2.5 million in direct economic impact for Austin. That estimate included spending on:
Hotels and short term rentals
Restaurants and bars
Retail and entertainment
Transportation and parking
There is no confirmed public estimate yet for the 2026 games. However, given similar attendance levels, the 2024 figure provides useful context for understanding the scale of impact NBA games can generate for downtown Austin.
Spurs Week in Austin: Beyond the Games
The I-35 Series has evolved into a multi day activation rather than a simple road trip stop.
Spurs Week activities have included:
Fan experiences and pop up events
Youth basketball clinics and community outreach
Sponsor activations and corporate events
Player appearances and local media coverage
These efforts expand the footprint of the series and deepen engagement in the Austin market.
Project Marvel: Securing the Spurs’ Long Term Home
While Austin benefits from the I-35 Series, the Spurs’ permanent home remains in San Antonio through the proposed Project Marvel development.
Core Details
Estimated cost: $1.3 to $1.5 billion
Public funding approved: approximately $311 million
Spurs contribution: at least $500 million plus responsibility for overruns
Target completion target: early 2030s
Location focus: downtown San Antonio near Hemisfair
Project Marvel also includes convention center expansion, Alamodome upgrades, and mixed use development including retail, residential, and hospitality components.
The strategy is clear. Austin strengthens regional reach. San Antonio anchors long term stability.
The Austin Spurs: Central Texas Basketball Infrastructure
The Austin Spurs play a critical role in maintaining year round Spurs presence in the region.
Key Facts
Established in 2005 and relocated to Cedar Park in 2014
2018 NBA G League Champions
Consistently produce NBA call ups and two way contract players
Compete at H-E-B Center at Cedar Park
The Austin Spurs strengthen the developmental pipeline and reinforce brand continuity between Austin and San Antonio. That infrastructure makes the annual NBA games feel like an extension of an existing ecosystem rather than a temporary experiment.
Final Take
The Spurs’ 2026 I-35 Series in Austin reinforced several truths:
Austin can consistently host 16,000 plus NBA fans.
Victor Wembanyama is a national draw.
The Spurs are building momentum with an eight game win streak.
The Austin San Antonio corridor functions as a connected sports region.
With a 5–3 all time record at Moody Center and growing competitive relevance, the Spurs continue expanding their footprint across Central Texas while committing to a long term future in San Antonio.
For Austin, that means high level NBA basketball and measurable economic upside. For the Spurs, it means growth without relocation and a broader fan base along I-35.
