In less than a month, we'll know whether Bexar County voters are in favor of a new downtown Spurs arena.

By the numbers: A nonbinding deal the City Council approved in August lays out how a $1.3 billion arena would be funded:

$500 million from the Spurs
$489 million from a city bond that does not require voter approval
$311 million from a Bexar County venue tax increase, if approved by voters

Catch up quick: The arena would be the centerpiece of a new sports and entertainment district that could also include a convention center remodel, an entertainment venue at the former John H. Wood Jr. U.S. Courthouse and more.

Voters will cast ballots Nov. 4 on a portion of the arena funding. But many see the vote as tied to whether the public is supportive of the broader district.
