SAN ANTONIO – The City of San Antonio has announced dates for community members to provide feedback on Project Marvel, the proposed downtown sports and entertainment district, according to a news release.
The city will host 10 two-day “community planning workshops” in partnership with the planning and architectural firm Able City, the release stated.

The workshops will be held in each City Council district to gather input from residents and are expected to provide a space for officials to share accurate, up-to-date information on the sports and entertainment district, according to the release.
The release said that the goal of the workshops is to develop principles that assist city officials with proposed Project Marvel details and guarantee that future decisions reflect community values.
What to expect
On the first day, residents can attend a community forum from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. where city officials will present information on the project’s goals. The release stated that most of the forum is a “hands-on mapping exercise” for community members to share their ideas.
On the second day, the release stated that there would be an open house from noon to 7 p.m. featuring interactive stations, including an exhibit highlighting the central ideas of the sports and entertainment district. Residents are welcome to ask questions and provide feedback.
Residents are also encouraged to participate in four topic-specific focus groups held on both days, which include conversations about housing, transportation, local businesses and public community spaces, the release stated.
“These drop-in workshop sessions are designed to be welcoming, engaging and inclusive — offering every attendee a chance to shape a shared vision for the project’s future,” the release said.
