[Dro210]

I've received 2 different e-mails on this, neither mentioned a voucher or ticket.

Oct 4th is the day single-games tickets go on sale, so it looks like this event is connected to a sales push.

Thats what i'm talking about wooo!!!!

[completely deck]

Holy crap. I wish I was in San Antonio... This is a sweet offer...

[angelbelow]

wow.. nice offer, i hope those in SA can take advantage of that.

[Spursmania]

This is pretty cool. The Spurs' organization giving more to the fans hoping they reciprocate by buying tickets. I don't remember them doing this last year.

[SA210]

For free? $1 hotdogs and soda? I'm going for sure. :flag:

[angel_luv]

I went to an open practice in 2004.

It was really fun.

[evi11emons]

I wish i could go :(

[Manu-of-steel]

i wish i could go, too! i couldn't help but wish it's the start of the season already.

[raspsa]

I can only envy Spurs fans who live in the vicinity or at least within a couple hours drive.. unless I was sick or something, I'd jump at the chance.

[byrdman31]

just tell the parking lot attendant you are going to the fan shop, they usually let you in for free.

[Gervin44Silas13]

Are they charging for parking?

[angel_luv]

Are they charging for parking?

I don't think they charged me the time I went.

[TimDunkem]

just tell the parking lot attendant you are going to the fan shop, they usually let you in for free.

Nice tip. I'll try it.

[bigdog]

just tell the parking lot attendant you are going to the fan shop, they usually let you in for free.

Cool. I'll try it out then. Who else plans on going to this?

[s0ldEONs0ul]

Are you telling me I can show up for the practice without paying and get cheap sodas and hot dogs?

Count me in! :tu

not the place to buy a jersey, the markup is just silly.

and I was told today parking will be free. This whole thing is being done to push single game ticket sales, which is a pretty damn good idea IMO. Butter us up with cheap hot dogs and a glimpse of our new team, thats sure to sell some tix

[Ditty]

illl be there with my jefferson jersey

i hope the fan shop will be open

[SpurNation]

My kid has an AAU tournament that day. Let me know how they looked.

[Spurlady]

We are going with the family and planning to arrive about 12 to 12:30. We are so excited for the season.

Question:

I am a season ticket holder and looking to sell my Oct. 6th game vs Houston. I can give you a great deal.

[Nathan Explosion]

I wish I could go but I have two young kids (ages 1 and 3) so I can't get over there. The wife is working and I can't leave the kids with my brothers considering they'd want to go to.

I trust there will be a report by someone when the practice is over.

You can watch it.


Open practice on Sunday will be streamed live on spurs.com

[Nathan Explosion]

You can watch it.

That's cool. Still won't be as cool as being there, but it's something.

I haven't gone to a Spurs practice and would like to go this year. It says that doors open at 1pm and practice starts at 1:30. Will there be long lines? Since seating is on a "first-come-first-serve seating" how early should I get there to get a good spot? Also, Does anyone know, if I'm allowed to take my camera inside to take pics?

[angel_luv]

I brought my camera when I went.

I would recommend going early that way you have the best chance of getting great seats.
I sat courtside the open practice I went to but I was there close to two hours before doors opened.

[Ditty]

im going at 9:30 in the moring and trying to be the 1st in line i wonder if there going to have the whole arena opened it should be packed this whole city is ready for the season

[angel_luv]

Wow you are a dedicated fan.

The earliest I could get there is around 11 am- after church. And I thought that was early!

[angelbelow]

Can't wait to stream the video... for those in SA don't miss out on this great opportunity!

[Manufan909]

So when does the scrimmage start, 1:30? And will the link for the stream be in this thread, or another?

[duncan228]

Yes, it starts at 1:30 (CST). Spurs.com will have the link.

[Manufan909]

Damn, I really want to drive down to see the game, but I know that would be idiotic, since I have two tests on monday, and I wouldn't get back to school until 630. It'd be awesome to see all the new guys+ the Big 3 healthy up close, but I'll settle for a stream and peoples thoughts. So who here is going for sure?

[angelbelow]

Yes, it starts at 1:30 (CST). Spurs.com will have the link.

Thanks, I was about to ask what time it would be for Pacific but based off of the CST it'll be 11:30am Pacific right?

[duncan228]

Yup, 11:30 Pacific.

[gospursgojas]

I went in 04. It was pretty cool. I got there like 15 mins before practice started and was still like in the 6th row, so i dont think you have to get there that early. Plus there is a Cowboys game @ 3 so that may dissuade people from going

[siraulo23]

Yup, 11:30 Pacific.

so about 5 hours to go?

[Dro210]

so about 5 hours to go?

no... it's tomorrow. 11:30 AM Pacific time.

so about 16 hours from now.



and I will be going for sure... I'll try and provide a recap if one hasn't been done by the time I get home. Which will be a little later, since I'll be goin to watch the 'Boys play after the practice. I'll try and take some pictures too if that is being allowed. I'm not tryin to get kicked out.

[angelbelow]

Yup, 11:30 Pacific.

Thanks! Can't wait, should be a fun watch.

[BOHOLANO#21]

Thanks! Can't wait, should be a fun watch.

i'll be there too wearing #45 BLAIR jersey.:toast

[bigdog]

I'll probably go around 11:30-12ish. How early is everyone else going?

Edit: Actually, I'll probably go between 12 and 12:30. Whatever, as long as I get to see the new squad in action.

[Kool Bob Love]

So we can't bring a camera?...:(

[alamo50]

Of course you can.

[DieMrBond]

Will this be available for download at all (for those whose streaming is not really an option)?

[mystargtr34]

Every photo thats taken better be put on here.

[xellos88330]

I hope it stops raining so I can take my daughter with me. If it doesn't I cannot go. :depressed

[completely deck]

Every photo thats taken better be put on here.

You're not kidding. Please, someone post pics, and maybe videos, after they come back!

[spursfan1000]

Damn I would love to go but I have to work from 8:30 to 6:00 that day. :(

[DPG21920]

Damn I would love to go but I have to work from 8:30 to 6:00 that day. :(

You realize it is today?

[spursfan1000]

^ yeah for some reason i thought it was thursday

[bigdog]

Hopefully it's not gonna be raining or flooded that way. I live off of Perrin Beitel and it was raining and thunderstorming like crazy early this morning. I don't wanna drive out there if the drive is gonna suck.

[wildbill2u]

They used to have a Silver/Black game as a highlight of preseason, mostly to let the newcomers show what they could do under game conditions.

Do they still do that?

[bigdog]

Well I'm guessing that's what the scrimmage is gonna be like.

[timvp]

This scrimmage should be fun to watch. It'll be nice to see the new players in action.

I think the last time they did that was about 15 years ago :)

[spursballer21]

[Flux451]

What time does the stream start and where is it streamed?

I am work so I can't look at the other posts. I snuck on here.

[duncan228]

It starts at 1:30 (CST). Spurs.com will have the link.

[Thompson]

Wow, George Hill hit a 3/4 court shot at the halftime buzzer. It was like the Devin Harris shot from last year.
:wow

[angel_luv]

Where did you start in line? I think my husband and I saw you.
