I grew up in Kerrville and have followed the Spurs sine about 1986.
I loved David Robinson and naturally became a fan.

Off topic slightly...but I doubt there are many Mav fans in San Antonio area.
There are fans of teams in all sports from all over the USA in Dallas just because it's a big city/metroplex (a lot of big corporations have their headquarters/branches in the area).

Yep, I'm from LA and a Spurs fan. I started cheering for them during the 2003 season when they were playing the Lakers on the 2nd round of the playoffs. Actually, it was more of me cheering against the Lakers back then. I was so excited when they beat the Lakers that I started cheering for them from then on.
Yep, my heart was broken the following year with the ".04" and was super hyper when Horry shot the "dagger" in game 5 of the Finals the year after.

well in 74 there was only one team in Texas. they actually started in Dallas but were moved due to serious lack of fan support. :rolleyes
Duncanville!!!

1. Since I grew up in S.A., I was there when the team hit town in 1973. The love affair began that very year and has continued on ever since.
2. It was the first and only professional game in town....still is. The team helped change the perception about S.A. around the country. Many around the country thought people in S.A. actually rode horses around town.
3. Frisco..

I live in Frisco as well. How long have you lived there? I moved there in December of '94 when there was only about 10k people there (almost 100k now).

I started rooting for SA because my dad is from San Antonio and raised me to be a fan, we bond through Spurs games and I became a big fan after the 01-02 season. I live in Mesquite.

In my opinion there are a lot of Maverick fans in San Antonio. Also a lot of laker fans. Due to the influx of corporations, people moving from California and of course the massive amounts of military there is quite a condundrum of fans. I travel to Dallas a lot and I would say the biggest Difference is that San Antonio only has one sports team, where Dallas obviously has 3. The cowboys have been succesfull for so long and have a very loyal fan base, Imagine how even more cowboy crazy was the only team in Dallas. That is what we have in San Antonio.

Nice to know that my friend. I've been there about 2 years. Before that, Plano. Hell, I didn't know there was anything in Frisco in '94. Yes, Frisco has definitely boomed.

Texas has a Duncanville and a Kerrville, towns named after great players who helped the Spurs win a championship or two. There's Johnson City, TX named in honor of Mavs coach and former Spurs player who sank the winning shot for the first Spurs championship in 1999.

So with Duncanville, Kerrville, Johnson City, Robinson, and Parker all being Texas cities, the true Texas professional sports team is the Spurs.
SPURS = Best pro sports team in Texas anyway.

1. Listened to WOAI as a child.
2. I lived in West Texas at the time. (still Spurs country)....drove to San Antonio for a lot of games.
3. Live in Denton now.(still drive to San Antonio for games and never set foot in the AA Center unless the Spurs are in town....or The Who!)
I absolutely, positively, HATE Maverick fans in this area! They are so pompous, so arrogant, so loud (like their owner), so bandwagon.......they don't even know the NBA existed before the Mavericks. They act like THEY are the team with championship history (and they've never won even one). They act like they are ENTITLED to win the championship. They show no respect for the NBA (like that stupid-ass song "mama don't let your babies grow up to be Spurs fans." played on the jumbo-tron...that is so classless....so bush-league...this is the NBA, not the developmental league),no respect for other teams, or other fans. (at least 90% of them anyway). George Gervin, Larry Kenon, James Silas and crew were throwing in 119 points per night before the Mavs even existed.

Actually they both sit at about 1.2 million. If you include the entire metroplex however, that is about 6 million. Area wise, SA is slightly bigger 412 sq. miles to Dallas' 385
like that stupid-ass song "mama don't let your babies grow up to be Spurs fans." played on the jumbo-tron...
I lawled at the first game this year when they tried to play that song and played the one they recycled for the Suns instead and promptly cut it off about 5 seconds into it. Hilarious.
1. grew up in SA, so I'd say mid-eighties
2. Longhorns and Spurs were the two religions in my house growing up
3. live in Fort Worth, work in Addison.

1) I moved to San Antonio in 1980.....I was a fan the minute My dad said we were moving here. Came from a town (Lynchburg, Va.) that had no pro teams to speak of except a minor league baseball team.
2) I became a fan for the fact that everywhere else I have lived pro Sports teams were a ways away. I became more of a fan is I read about the history. My Friends in Lynchburg were Bullet fans (the closest NBA team) were always ragging on that little team from Texas the time the spurs met the Bullets in the ECF.
3) I don't live near Dallas I live in San Antonio (NW side)

1988
Grew up in south Texas and my dad would take us (my brother and myself) to Spurs games. He even laminated the SA Light Newspaper's full size poster of DRob's "Rookie of the Year" accomplishment, and that was on the wall in my room until my parents moved in 2005.
Near the border of Garland and Richardson north of the LBJ.

Only an hour? I thought it would be more than that even with the GBTP opened up. Are you driving during rush hour?
It takes me almost an hour on a lot of days to commute from my girlfriend's house in Allen to Addison.
Oh no, I learned my lesson regarding traffic here. I leave my house at 9AM and leave work around 630 - 7.
