– The Bexar County Commissioner’s Court approved a $5 million investment to support a proposed basketball and volleyball training facility at UTSA’s main campus.“I think it is just important again to highlight that this is not only a UTSA asset; it’s really a county asset, it’s a City of San Antonio asset,” Moody said.aims to prioritize a continued focus on public health and wellness for Bexar County while supporting UTSA’s student-athlete population.
Dr. Lisa Campos, vice president for intercollegiate athletics, said during the presentation to the court that the facility will also place a focus on “the development of future women’s sports programs.”Campos highlighted the university’s partnership with the county and city dating back to 2003 when Bexar County provided a bond to support a track and field stadium near the campus.
In discussing the facility’s benefits to the county, Campos described the investment in UTSA Athletics as a direct support of investment in the San Antonio community. Campos said that almost 50% of UTSA’s student population hails from Bexar County precincts. Part of the agreement with the funding will require the facility to be available to the public for sporting events and youth sports. AUTSA will also partner with Visit SA, San Antonio Sports and other groups to bring sporting events to the NEST building.
