Alphabet Soup: SBC becomes AT&T Center

01.11.2006

San Antonio, TX (Basketball News) - The San Antonio Spurs will play all of their home contests in the newly-named AT&T Center, after SBC Communications Inc. recently acquired the AT&T Corporation.

Representatives from Bexar County, the Spurs, the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and AT&T unveiled the new AT&T Center logo on Wednesday.

"The Spurs are an international team, and we are thrilled that our home now reflects such an internationally recognized brand," Spurs chairman Peter Holt said. "AT&T is a terrific partner, and we are grateful for the company’s commitment to the Spurs and the San Antonio community."

The Spurs and what is now AT&T Inc. announced a 20-year $41 million naming- rights sponsorship agreement in July of 2000. The $175 million facility opened in September 2002, and San Antonio has won two NBA championships in their first three seasons in the building.
