I was out of town for a few days but a quick search showed no threads or info about this - so if one existed, please just delete/lock mine.

Today's May 09 Frank Erwin Center newsletter has a page about a Spurs/Thunder game at The Drum on October 20th in the "NBA Classic". Tickets "go on sale soon" and will start at $15.

When was the last time the Spurs played a game in Austin?

I went once back in the mid to late 90's, but I just don't remember when.

About freaking time. It probably took the Rockets' playing in McAllen to get them to do this.

Didn't the Cavs play a game in Columbus earlier this season?

I remember a game against... Boston maybe?... at OSU on ESPN towards the end of the preseason.

Most teams usually hit up college campuses or other smaller towns during preseason - I just don't remember the Spurs doing a local one in years. They've played some road preseason games in some smaller college campuses or cities recently.
