Why is the AT&T a ghost town this year?

[Brian Windhorst]

Looking at almost an entire row of empty seats, 5 rows behind the bench... Season ticket holders too lazy to resell their tickets?

Just bad competition?

Kinda disappointing tbh as this is such a stacked team, I'd kill to go to these games

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Strange that Spurs stopped taking in new season ticket holders this year. They claimed record high of season tickets sold this year but all the games have had plenty of empty seats, including opening night vs Nets.

[urunobili]

New arena keeps them at different areas spending money etc

[exstatic]

Yeah, I had noticed LOTS of lower bowl seats vacant at each game.

[hater]

Pathetic. Take the team away from that city

[Robz4000]

Season ticket holders imo. Lot of companies got season tickets this year but only use them selectively.

[Russ]

It's worrisome. If SA can't support this team, what happens when the decline starts?

[100%duncan]

Same sentiments

The corporatocracy showing its colors. And they said capitalism was great

[Clipper Nation]

Who would want to pay their hard-earned money to watch Porker's iso-heroball?

[Ditty]

Went to the game against the Hornets, it was pretty full all the way to the top for a Saturday night game. Arena is very nice, but the beer lines can get pretty outrageous around halftime.

[ElNono]

I checked for tickets (regular and re-sale) in those areas and there's none to be found... somebody paid for them

[Mnky]

The season tickets have already sold out. They might be empty, but they're paid for.

[loveforthegame]

Wrong thread.

[Blizzardwizard]

Who would want to pay their hard-earned money to watch Porker's iso-heroball?

Well they pay to watch KawhISO so why not?

[Uriel]

Meanwhile, there are those of us who don't live in the US who have been diehard Spurs fans for years but have never been to a game at the AT&T Center live.

[Obstructed_View]

It's worrisome. If SA can't support this team, what happens when the decline starts?

The tickets are already paid for. They aren't allowed to sell them twice.

Everyone's too busy eating at the Whataburger in the arena to give a shit about the game.

[lefty]

Fit people noche?

[exstatic]

It would be really nice if a company or seat owner that wasn't using them for a night would give them away to kids or wounded veterans. It's a waste to see them empty.

[phxspurfan]

scalpers trying to sell regular season games for $2k apiece.

[random21]

Because the population in SA spends their money on food....

Me included. Would love to see them play at home live someday.

This.

[admiralsnackbar]

It would be really nice if a company or seat owner that wasn't using them for a night would give them away to kids or wounded veterans. It's a waste to see them empty. As long as they're paid for and sustain the franchise, I have trouble caring what seats remain vacant. I don't cheer any louder at home when I can see rows and rows of patricians with their heads buried in their phones.

[hater]

Amen. The fact that the tickets are sold and paid for mans nothing. It's actually worse. Pathetic city

Watch okc, Cleveland, Memphis, gsw games and tell me they don't make the Spurs home game look shit

[hater]

I have to say I never seen an empty seat in an okc game. Not even when durant/westbrook are out.

Gotta give props where its due.

[K...]

Eh it's bad for concessions too. They know, total profit is ticket+ parking+ over priced food.

Having them not show up leaves$$$ on the table.

[hater]

Bet a lot of them are manutards that heard Evita was out of comission

[admiralsnackbar]

Watch okc, Cleveland, Memphis, gsw games and tell me they don't make the Spurs home game look shit I have (and do) and don't much care. The Kings and Suns have great fans, too.... fan reaction seems to clearly mean zilch based on that. Add Knicks, Memphis, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Oklahoma, etc. fans. GSW get a pass for having won last year, but it's not like they had a stronger fanbase than the Spurs until they were in contention.

This.

[GSH]

that can be arranged ...

He said he would kill for tickets, Shortbus - not die for them. Duh.



The corporatocracy showing its colors. And they said capitalism was great

Basketball is an elitist sport, played by millionaires who work for billionaires. The arenas should all be nationalized and given to The People for indoor soccer. And all the best soccer players in the world would flock here to play for peanuts in a show of solidarity. (Because that's what great soccer players do.) Fuck the corporatocracy that pays for this elitist shit.

[Spurs9]

I went to the Hornets game on a Saturday and it was completely full, I was surprised. Maybe the games during the week has less people. Could be the expensive parking now tbh

http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance/_/sort/homePct

99.1% attendance. Ya some stupid fucks. :lmao

But but :cry they don't have 104% attendance rate :cry

:lol

we already agreed the tickets were sold retard. We are talking about the obvious dozens of empty seats in the game last night. keep up

I wonder if that was based on tickets sold though as mentioned earlier those tix belong to someone

That's attendance. Not tickets sold.

So I was right then the dozens of empty seats last night were Manutards :lol

[manu2timdynasty]

The seats at the lower level are noticeably empty at the beginning of the 3rd quarter because of the new Restaurant/bar open to lower level ticket holders only. I had lower level seats opening night, with my ticket I was able to partake in the buffet and get a discount on drinks at the bar. It's more exclusive so not as crowded, at half time there were a lot of people who stayed around to mingle watching the game on the many tv's. I suspect next season the hours will be altered because many people are choosing to stay there instead of going back to their seats.

[manu2timdynasty]

You have 28k posts and you don't even live in San Antonio? Bandwagon troll? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Says the guy who conveniently left out the no team therefore irrelevant "we hang out in the Wal-Mart parking lot" place he lives in.....

[TXstbobcat]

Flying into SA in the middle of December for some Spurs games. Excited to see the renovations to the stadium. Driving a few hours to Milwaukee for the spurs game in January. Prices for really good seats for that game are cheap on stubhub.

[Kool Bob Love]

Because who the fuck watches Spurs reguler season games? :lol real Spurs fans don't give a shit about these games. Playoffs are more exciting and actually worth attending.

[Cry Havoc]

I have to say I never seen an empty seat in an okc game. Not even when durant/westbrook are out.

Gotta give props where its due.

:lol Cause when you buy a ticket 3 months in advance, you know who's going to be injured, right?

[bic50]

I find the wishing injury and calling players retarded or autistic, and overall hating players on your own team to be way worse then this.

[Cry Havoc]

but it's not like they had a stronger fanbase than the Spurs until they were in contention.

The hell? Oracle has ALWAYS been packed. They sell out games on the regular with 30 win teams.

[bigfan]

When I lived in SA I used to go to Hemisfair for the Spurs all the time and after the game we would walk across the street to the riverwalk and have a few at Gambits or wherever to celebrate victories. It was bad enough when they made the Spurs play in the giant barn. Later on Im sure they had intentions of improving the neighborhood but they built the new Spurs place in from what I remember was the absolute shitholiest part of SA. Maybe in a few years they will rebuild downtown where it ought to be.

[BD24]

Spurs games during the week are usually less attended obviously.
Weekend games are always packed and get decently loud.
The playoff games are absolutely packed and get very loud, really great atmosphere.

I think regular season games aren't quite as attended because fans are so used to the Spurs making they playoffs that they think "ehh its just regular season".
As far as other arenas being much more packed, louder, etc, that is bullshit with maybe the exception of OKC and GSW.
I can tell most of you haven't been to a game there, I have been to probably 10-15 nba arenas and can tell you AT&T center is one of the loudest and best environments to watch a game.

Great points, tbh.

First season back in SA since I was a kid. I'd forgotten how loud the AT&T Center could get.

Fools up in here bitching about midweek, mid-November basketball games against nobodies :lmao

Yea, I've lived in the city for a few years now. Actually moved here before the 2014 season, so was pretty freaking awesome that they won it all during my first year in the city. Went to about 7 playoff games that year. Went to game 6 against the Clips last year, place was so damn loud then. Game 7 in 2014 was awesome to because of the pissed off mavs fans in the building.

[Buddy Holly]

They sold out their season tickets. There's now a waiting list for next year.

[spurs10]

You can't buy any season tickets anywhere in the arena...it is much more sold out than anytime in history.

Fat, lazy, spoiled fans who don't start supporting the team until March.
