[spurraider21]

baseball is in season, and it rubs off on the fans tbh

[Arcadian]

What'd they say?

[Chris]

What'd they say?

They called them out for not getting back to their seats in time coming back from half-time. They said that the players rely on their energy. Those concession lines are LONG and people are DUMB. Blame the system not the fans imo...

[TheGreatYacht]

What'd they say?
It was before the 3rd quarter started. 90% of the lower bowl was empty and Bill said Spurs fan don't understand how big this game is to the season and should be seated. Sean was agreeing.

[Chris]

Last game I attended it took 20 minutes to get anything...

[vander]

sounds like the food is too cheap, they should raise prices. they'll make more money, and the fans will be thinner and back in their seats in time

but I need my fries...

[TheRemix]

You don't see empty seats for a playoff game anywhere else in the league. Sad, wish we had the spirit like okc/gs fans

[cjw]

People in those seats aren't even using the same general concessions most of the time. No excuse.

I learned my lesson two years ago at game 7 of Rangers-Lightining. Beer stops when puck drops in the third period and game was 0-0. Missed getting back to my seat by seconds and the usher kept us there until the first stoppage. First stoppage turned out to be a Lightining goal and MSG felt like a funeral afterwards.

Regular season, whatever. Playoffs are a different beast.

[TheRemix]

I miss the good ol days when it used to be spur fan vs laker fan

[DMC]

Too many Spurs fans don't remember not having a post season.

Also, post season fans are often casual fans with nothing else to do.

Oddly the Spurs went up by 18 but then the fans showed up and they lost all but about 5 of the points. :lol

[DMC]

yup, i was a few rows from the fight. spur fan vs spur fan.

Probably a Westbrook fan vs a Harden fan, wearing Spurs jerseys. Now I know where Lebomb and DJohn were.

I wonder why they fought lol were they wearing jerseys? And were the numbers #9 and #20?

[hater]

They probably fell in love with the same tray of Nachos and extra cheese

[TheDoctor]

I'm betting on #9 and #17 :wakeup

[MaNu4Tres]

The fan base cares more about food, booze & networking than a playoff game.

It's pathetic. When I go, if I need to use the restroom or get food its always 5 minutes before halftime.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lol

Had to look that one up :lol TP and Barry

[spurs10]

The fans were pumped up tonight. Reminded me of June 15, 2014. Fans sitting in the middle sideline seats have access to a different food and booze bar. Probably takes longer to get served or they're just a bunch of fair weather fans there with corporate tickets. Otherwise the crowd was great.

What I thought was weird was a lot of people leaving when we were up big in the last 4 minutes. A big exodus....I've never got that. Especially an important game like tonight.

[Proxy]

Especially the bottom level that doesn't have the same concessions as the rest of the arena... upper class whites smh

[apalisoc_9]

I don't know if fans trully does provide the players with energy, but if they do, the Spurs will need it. Houston and GSW requires intensity.

Both teams can go on a 11-0 run in 2 minutes. Usually the front lower seats are empty till the 9th minute mark of the 1st and 3rd quarters.

Teams can easily go on a run in that span.

[Fireball]

Spurs played well starting the third and then it went downhill when the fat fans were back tbh

[100%duncan]

UGh

[99 Problems]

sounds like the food is too cheap, they should raise prices. they'll make more money, and the fans will be thinner and back in their seats in time

Which will lead to thinner seats, which means more seats, more money, bigger crowd. HoltCat why your marketing people not onto this?

[TheChillFactor]

Yeah, the fans suck but at the same time, youre starting David Lee in a playoff game. Even a Whatachicken sandwich is more appealing than that bullshit.

is it that hard to not be a fat ass and either not stuff your face for 3 hours or get food before the game starts?? always amazes me how people are so concerned with eating overpriced shit during games

welcome to being a spurs fan.

we used to start Fabritcio Oberto, Francesco Elson and Nazi Mohammad back in the day :lol

[Trill Clinton]

The fat asses are in the upper balcony of the arena. They start the chants and make ALL the noise. The lower bowl is full of corporate geeks or shit kicking rodeo board members. They're too good to cheer, come early and stay until the end of the game.

[baseline bum]

:lol Spurs fan having to eat constantly
:lol muh Whataburger

[lefty]

They went to the ATT Center just for the food

[wildbill2u]

Years ago the Spurs decided (or were forced into) a financial model that basically targeted corporate ticket holders over average fans. We don't know all the financial ramifications of the extraordinary salaries these players get and the fixed costs, but apparently they determined they couldn't sell enough tickets to individuals while corporations could write the tickets off, give them to customers, etc. But you can bet that all those empty seats at games are probably the corporate seats which aren't given away and don't belong to fans. I wish we could get back to the days when there was a real live Spurs fanbase that could go to the Arena and enjoy the games.

[coachmac87]

Crap halftime shows are a factor...give the fans a reason to stay tbh.

[spurs10]

:lol Yeah choosing to eat there is curious!

[Darius Bieber]

If you want to see those seats filled, make them cheaper. Real Spurs fans will come and cheer all game without look at their phones. That's why the loudest sections are always the nosebleeds.

[spurs10]

[Seventyniner]

Add $20 to the price of every ticket and then when each person comes in with their ticket, give them $20 cash. If someone received a ticket for free they're more likely to show up to get the money. Plus people now have extra cash to spend at the concession stands!

This is actually a pretty damn good idea.

[SpursforSix]

This is actually a pretty damn good idea.

Aside from the logistics of having to actually distribute the cash.
It would be a nightmare.

Instead of cash, drink and food tokens.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Is that why the Seahawks never lose at home?

Hippie culture in Seattle = more healthy, less fast food etc

[SpursforSix]

It's the only way it could work. It might still be hard for them to keep up with it though. I'd sure like to have a friend that was distributing them.
I suppose they could link the credit to each ticket's bar code. So you'd use your credits with your actual ticket. As opposed to someone handing them out.

[UZER]

When I was younger, nosebleeds we're ok. As an adult, I hate feeling like a sardine that is one wrong step from tumbling to my death. No thanks I'll watch at home.

A few years back, I was given nosebleeds and the section I was in won free taquitos from Whataburger. You wouldve thought they were giving away $100 dollar bills the way people were falling over each other and screaming at the people handing them out that they hadn't gotten theirs yet. Embarrassing :lol

I'm not sure food and drinks do the trick, people might get angry that they're basically forced to buy something they may not want.

If you build some high-security cages (like cashier's cages at casinos) right by the entrance then $20 bills might work after all. Scan your ticket to get in, pass by the cage, scan your ticket again, get your $20, be on your way. The digital infrastructure should already be there.

[PopTheGOAT]

I think it's just a spoiled fan base tbh. Spurs have been good for so long, 1st and 2nd round isn't a big deal

[DMC]

is it that hard to not be a fat ass and either not stuff your face for 3 hours or get food before the game starts?? always amazes me how people are so concerned with eating overpriced shit during games

Or flights. Get on a 45m flight, everyone must have peanuts and a drink, it's life or death, hurry, rush the food out!

[DMC]

This is actually a pretty damn good idea.

Except for the fact that if your ticket was free, and you need to be spotted a 20 to eat shit food, you need to be at your job stocking shelves or whatever.

lol raising ticket prices for Anderson and David Lee. KL is the only reason to watch. That's no lie. I shit you not, I was more interested in watching Westbrook choke away another series than watching the Spurs win last night. I mean, Gasol, Lee, Bertans? Seriously?

[BD24]

Aww, it seems I hit a nerve, go beat off to some pictures of your aunt, I am sure that will make you feel better. :toast

[gambit1990]

last night was bad. and that's coming from someone who knows how lackadaisical our crowd can be.

[myhc]

Do other arenas have music being pumped out when the home team is on offense? It's just odd and distracting. I don't know if this is the case in games being played in other NBA arenas. I should pay more attention. But I was watching the Bulls-Celtics game tonight and they didn't have the music because the crowd was already loud enough. I like Prince and all but save it for timeouts or the half time, not when Kawhi is running the pick and roll.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

I've complained about this before. It's a reason I believe the crowd is so weak. Why cheer when the music is doing all the work for you. It's so loud you can hear it blasting though the tv speakers on every...damn... possession. It's pathetic.

Ugh I totally agree. It's like if you're at the club. I'm at a freakin basketball game, let the crowd make the noise and keep the music to time outs.

[spurs10]

My question is how are they selling out the place at those prices. It's not like SA is especially affluent. If you think people aren't going to the games you're mistaken...huge crowd and very loud the whole game.
