San Antonio has been selected as the home for PAX Central, a kind of Super Bowl for the computer gaming industry, and that is another indication that the city is emerging as a major center for technology and for young adult popular culture, 1200 WOAI's Michael Board reports.

PAX events currently take plane annually in Boston, Seattle and in Australia, and the head of PAX says a central event in San Antonio was 'always a matter of 'when,' rather than 'if.'

City Council Diego Bernal says the decision to locate the 'celebration of gamer culture' speaks volumes about how San Antonio is emerging as a cultural destination for college educated millennials.

"When I was in high school, a lot of people who were destined to go to college couldn't wait to get out of this town," Bernal said. "Now they can't wait to come back."

It also reinforces San Antonio's standing as a major center in the technical industry.
