Want to celebrate another championship with the Spurs?
Go Four It!!!

Spurs partner with the City of San Antonio and Airport to bring Texas-sized welcome home to four-time NBA Champs

On Friday, June 15 at approximately 2 p.m., thousands of San Antonians will get a chance to personally thank the Spurs organization for yet another NBA championship season. Team members will be arriving at San Antonio International Airport at 1:50 p.m., with a 45 minute victory celebration scheduled to take place shortly after touchdown. Spurs fans will be asked to park at the Blossom Athletic Center located at 12002 Jones Maltsberger, with shuttle service to the airport beginning at 12:00 p.m. Fans will be driven to the Airport's Air Cargo East facilility off Wetmore road. Vehicles will not be allowed to park at or near the celebration site.

Once the victory celebration is complete, shuttle buses will be available to take guests back to their vehicle at Blossom Athletic Center. There is no charge for admission and the shuttle service is free as well.

Given the expected large number of attendees and the sensitivity surrounding airport security, there are a few items that we would like you to stress to your audience when alerting them to this event:

* Again, no vehicles will be allowed to park at or near the event site. All guests must park at the Blossom Athletic Center and take the shuttle service to the site.
* No alcoholic beverages will be permitted on the shuttle buses or at the event site
* Temperatures during the celebration are expected to reach the low 90's and the entire event will take place on a large concrete area. For this reason, guests are encouraged to bring the following:
o Sun screen
o Lawn chair
o Umbrella (personal size only)
o No glass containers will be allowed
o Bottled Water (Some water will be provided courtesy of the Spurs organization, however a personal supply in a cooler is still recommended)

According to that, it looks like they left an hour and a half late, so they won't be here until 3:30....unless that's not the right flight?

Anyone know if any of the local stations are covering it live? Some of us have to work and want to tape it.

I've had it on KSAT, and they've keep going back live there since about noon ... so I'm sure it'll be on that channel...although it doesn't say anything on the guide. :)

Man I miss the days when all I had was my arena " work" and could run around and go to all these things.

Now I have a full planner and, even though the weekend is just starting, I am already dead tired. I'm getting old! :oops :oops

when harris and chancellor signed off last nite...they said they'd be at the airport when the team arrived...same with kast. so i'm sure all the locals will be broadcasting it live.


dont forget the plane left about 1 1/2 hours later than it was scheduled to.

Yeah, they left Cleveland at about 1:30 EDT and are scheduled to arrive at SAT at around 3:10 CDT.

They appear to be somewhere over Arkansas right now.

Do any of the local SA TV stations have live streaming video? I've checked KENS, KSAT, and WOAI but none of them have it. Anyone?

since it was so hot outside, the fire department started spraying people with their hoses from atop their trucks.

Firefighters turned some hoses on and squirted people off to cool them down. It was a hot mofo out there. :spin
