Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones' buzzer-beater attempt to put the Spurs arena back on the ballot looks likely to be a brick, with a majority of council members already publicly against the idea.
The $1. 3 billion NBA arena planned for Hemisfair relies on the Spurs, the City of San Antonio and Bexar County all chipping in.
The Spurs would pay at least $500 million, the city would pay up to $489 million and the county up to $311 million.
