SPURS EYE OPTING OUT OF DOME BUT NO THREAT TO LEAVE TOWN?

2.12.1996

     Spurs Chair Robert McDermott said the team's board is
looking at locating the team in a new, privately funded facility
between San Antonio and Austin, "drawing from a wider, more
affluent population base."  He also said, "ideally, the money
would come from corporate or individual investors."  The Spurs'
contract with the Alamodome gives them a "90-day out," but
McDermott said no move would be made during the season and that
he would seek a solution when the season ends (SAN ANTONIO
EXPRESS-NEWS, 2/11).
