spurs.com says the first game fans will be allowed is Jan 1 against the Lakers.

Looks like they will have temp checks, cashless payment for food, reduced capacity on elevators and physical distancing while walking around, whatever that means.

Will any of you actually be going to games before you get your shot?

Only if people keep their mask on while walking around. If not, I'm reporting their ass. And if you're going to stand up and cheer/yell, wear it at your seat. Have some respect for your fellow Spurs family members.

Watching DeRozan play isn’t worth getting covid.

Nope. But I would go to a playoff game in the summer. Really the only time I will be free

Nope. I've been staying safe this long, not going to blow all that up for a game I can easily watch in my living room with better replays, cheaper food and drinks, and cleaner bathrooms.

Don't get me wrong, I love actually going to games, but not if I feel like I'm going to have to be careful about every person I see and everything I touch along the way.

If the football games have been any indication, that shit isn't going to happen.

Many people will probably wear that mask just to get through the door then shove it in their pocket (or wear it like a chin diaper).

How do you keep your mask on when downing 5 shots of tequila and stuffing your face with Whataburger?

R.I.P. to all Spurstalkers taking the DNA changing vaccine. Half of the NBA will probably drop dead

I moved my season ticket package to the next season. If I'm wanting to go to games in the Spring I'll just buy tickets. Nothing will be different in January.

Yes I would to the game. I would get on a plane. Go to concerts and go anywhere as normal. I know at least 30 people who have gotten Covid, I get it, I accept that it is a real thing, but I also understand the reality of what it is. It’s the flu. It’s contagious. If you have underlying conditions, you get sicker than others. I know people who have died of the common flu. The common cold. I know people who have died of something else but they were labeled a Covid death. I will not get the shot and I am ok with what you think of that. I have lived a normal life from the day the NBA shut the season down and my family and I have been ok. I currently have an 80 year old uncle in the hospital with it but he is doing fine and will be fine. I had a cousin who passed from Covid, but I also had a cousin who passed from the seasonal flu. I wear a mask mostly so people will leave me alone but the science I read tells me that the whole idea of a mask is a not consistent with reality. Again, I am ok with how you interpret that too. They say to let science guide us yet they can’t even explain science as science is as Einstein states, it is all relative. Don’t believe me? Go play basketball on the moon and see what happens. So to answer your question; yes I will go to the game and not think anything of it. Just don’t lecture me on why you are right and smarter than the rest of us. Then you show your intelligence.

I'd be open to it.

Probably will be one of the safer public places to be. Checks before you go in, lots of room between groups.

It's probably much safer there than at a grocery store or Wal-mart where you still get caught up in the aisles all next to each other and in each other's mess and there's no checks at the store entrance.

But of course the real determining factor would be the price. If there's a big enough markdown then yes, but if it's the same price as always then nah.

i'd definitely be open to it.

Ticket discounts would help.

Also if they do the delivery service that i've heard football stadiums doing, delivering your snacks to your seat, that would sweeten the deal.

As well as not having someone sitting right behind me, next to me or in front of me other than my friends would be a nice experience. Everyone knows how cramped those seats are, so a little space would be luxurious for me.

Flu doesn't kill over 300K in the US a year. Flu is not the leading killer of Americans currently, where COVID is. Living in fear and making wise decisions are two different things. Good luck out there.

I'd be fine with going to a game as far as the seating itself is concerned as surely there will be a lot of empty seats and space, but some of the corridors at the AT&T get pretty packed. I'm curious to see what type of measures they put in place to address this type of stuff

My thoughts exactly. Not sure what they mean by physical distancing while walking around. Perhaps its just some posted signs and people behave like normal (which is what you see in retail stores). Or maybe its walking lanes and floor markers, or those club like velvet ropes

But those numbers aren't correct. They are counting many deaths that were not due to covid as covid deaths. The data is fucked and is being used to control the masses and get more state funding.

I quote this directly from the CDC website.

"The numbers are confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases as reported by U.S. states, U.S. territories, New York City, and the District of Columbia from the previous day."

Take the human error aspect out and replace it with the first three months of uncounted deaths from COVID (during the period before the lockdown when we were unaware of how many cases were already being spread in the United States) and it's the same shit. This virus is the leading killer of Americans, influenza is no where near. It doesn't take a genius to see the strain on hospitals nationwide and understand this is not the flu. But then again, some people sign blood oaths to political parties.

Yeah.. Is there going to be ushers at the escalators telling people when they can enter, etc?

My thoughts exactly. It seems theyre still trying to sell season tickets and shit. Like just open the luxury boxes to groups and families to fill that shit up. $500-$700 a pop should do it. But no, they're trying to charge $5000 for one of those I'm sure still.

Someone in the Spurs org forcing Pop to let go of Bryn Forbes has me hopeful there will be more sane involvement resulting in better play. In that respect I'm looking forward to 2021.

As to the virus risk, no way I'm going with the population of Texass mouthbreathers/Trumptards running around spreading Rona.

Well, thanks for being considerate and wearing a mask for the rest of us, then. I want no part of that Covid shit.

Its not about covid itself. Its about the US and especially texas being a toilet bowl infested with piss shit and covid. Its about the uncontrollable spread.

Do you go fix yourself a sandwich if your house is on fire? Well right now covid is a raging inferno in US

Things will stabilize eventuallyband then americans can think of going to ballgames. But right now you might as well go lick toilet bowls like Rudy Gobert tbqh

[update from email]

Single game tickets - Spurs

Good Morning!

We are sharing this news with you as our team is alerting the media with the press release below, that we have made the decision to continue to play without fans at the AT&T Center for the time being.

The San Antonio Spurs today announced the organization has decided to continue to play without fans at the AT&T Center. On Saturday night, Dec. 26, the Spurs defeated the Toronto Raptors 119-114 in their 2020-21 home opener.

“Welcoming fans back to the AT&T Center remains a major organizational priority for all of us,” said Spurs Sports & Entertainment CEO RC Buford. “While we are confident in the plans and protocols we have in place, we are uncomfortable hosting fans at this moment as the COVID-19 numbers and data in our community continue to trend in the wrong direction.”

Over the last five months SS&E has made numerous updates designed to enhance health and safety protocols at the AT&T Center. To learn more, go to ATTCenter.com/arena/ourcommitment. A team of SS&E officials remain in daily contact with a wide range of local, regional and national officials and public health experts to ensure a safe environment when fans return to the AT&T Center.

“It’s impossible to explain how much we miss seeing and hearing our fans,” said Buford. “We will continue to work tirelessly to do everything in our control to allow us to open our doors to our fans in a safe and timely manner.”
