The AT&T Center is an indoor arena located in San Antonio, Texas, USA. It was completed in 2002 as the SBC Center at a cost of $175 million, financed by county-issued bonds which were supported by a hotel-occupancy and car rental tax increase and an additional contribution of $28.5 million from the Spurs.The arena is home to the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA and the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL in the winter-spring, the San Antonio Silver Stars of the WNBA in the summer, and the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo held in February. The PRCA, who holds the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, also hosts an Xtreme Bulls tour event annually (at around the same time as the Stock Show). It seats 18,797 for basketball, 13,000 for hockey and 19,000 for concerts or religious gatherings, and contains 50 luxury suites, and 32 bathrooms (16 Male and 16 Female). In addition to many local community and sporting events, the San Antonio Sports Car Association holds autocross competitions in the parking lot each month. On the weekend of August 1-2, 2009, the PBR also hosted a Built Ford Tough Series event at this arena, after having held a BFTS event at the Alamodome in 2007 and 2008. SBC Communications, Inc. purchased the naming rights to the facility under a 20-year, $41 million naming rights agreement with Bexar County, the San Antonio Spurs and the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo in July 2000. SBC Communications changed its name to AT&T in November 2005 after its purchase of AT&T Corporation. The arena officially changed its name to AT&T Center in January 2006.
