Next seasons season ticket sales will be brutally bad. That’s the butcher’s bill for giving money away to Fatty Mill$ and Outof Ga$ol. Nice job PATOF. 👍🏻

Drunk post?
Or just drunk RC using his ST account to talk about next season. :whineQuote:

At least you have Laker fans who will continue to fill your arena for 2 of those games...the other 80, you're on your own
Coming soon to the AT&T Center, tarping off sections and admission to the Charter section with Sprite cans.
We don't know if Kawhi is capable of playing a whole season. I bought Spurs tickets hoping to see him play and got burned. I'll be hesitant to do it next year with the crop of talent that we are rostering. At least, not expensive tickets.
Good looking forward to $10 lower level prices again.
Tbh, I actually did cancel mine.
Call me a player fan, but Kawhi is no Timmy, and I don’t feel like paying to watch this team continually shit the bed against top tier teams.
With the very real possibility of Manu retiring and constant sub $10 stubhub tickets, there’s no reason to have season tickets right now.

Aren’t the Spurs one of the top teams this year, even without Kawhi, in terms of viewership and attendance growth?
They got to the WCF last year. How is that sh*tting the bed. That trip included beating HOU to get there.Quote:

The Spurs don’t have to win it every year, if there’s anything 2014 showed, its that the bad years will make the good ones better and more enjoyable.Quote:

To answer your question, Spurs are 24-6 against teams below .500, but 13-24 against teams with a winning record. I don’t have an answer to what their record is this year vs top 5 teams, but I’m sure it’s horrible.
And sure we can point to injuries, but imo no competitive team would be marching out fathead and Gasol to play heavy minutes.
Probably, but that doesn’t fit the ‘we’re all gonna die’ hysteria. I’m expecting a great “Redemption ll” next season if things continue to go poorly this season.Quote:

I enjoyed the down years when the Spurs were not contending from '08-'11 because they were still a good team. Bad teams are never fun to watch especially teams that are lottery bound. This was the least exciting spurs team to watch in 20 years.Quote:

Cancelled my season tickets as well. Star players sitting out and price hike was enough for me to jump ship.
Damn :wowQuote:

If the ownership hasn't been working to secure a new arena site downtown to have it built by say 2030 it's would only be because they're investigating other cities.
If revenue plummets I wouldn't blame them...The way this organization have treated the fan base especially this year like they are insignificant is very forthcoming. This FO needs to get over themselves.
I'll always be a Spurs fun but I'm just not a fan of the current Front Office right now.
The city of fat antonio doesnt deserve an nba team tbqh.
Fat porcines are buying nachos and enchiladas most of the game and the rest stay at home and leave empty seats
It would be great for humanity for Spurs to go to a more deserving city
When the mediocre, lottery Spurs run losses for a few seasons, then they'll be sold and moved.
Sad thing is they could replace Spurs games with pig wrestling and most of the fans there would never notice :lol
East side location has not allowed a Spurs game to become an event beyond a Spurs game. You park, watch the game, and immediately try to get out of that area. It’s was dumb to put it there. Other cities have lots of bars, restaurants, stores, nearby to make it more than just a basketball game. That ain’t going to happen where it currently sits.
This front office has gotten arrogant as hell, too. Pop is constantly thumbs his nose to reporters and treats them like shit when they ask legitimate questions.
Pop also does a major disservice to the fans that pay hard earned money by constantly resting players throughout the year. You see empty seats? Gee I wonder why? Then he has the balls to say the team played soft, or lacks toughness, or fans deserve their money back.
I think the way they treat the fan base is part of the problem.Quote:

20 years ago they worked hard as an organization to court and cultivate local fans.
There used to be a weekly coach's show on television. "The Coach Brown Show." "The Coach Tark Show" "The Coach Lucas Show" "The Coach Pop Show" These cheaply produced shows had a local flunky sports anchor pooping out softballs for the coach to just ramble on about or praise things. It wasn't a journalism show. It was a commercial.
Heck, when he was an assistant under Brown I think Pop did a semi regular short tv news segment that was movie reviews with Sean or somebody unless I'm completely imagining things.
There used to be weekly radio hits. A Weekly Pop show, appearances by GMs etc. But once there was an excuse to stop doing it, Pop quickly bailed. In the Pop Show instance, someone during a non-Pop interview segment, probably on a different day even, did a bland, unfunny Allen Iverson(?) impression. No one listened to the show, it wasn't a controversy, no one cared. It was an excuse to drop the show though. And Pop never came back once that show was cancelled or changed hosts, and he never switched to a different timeslot. He had his way out.
They just don't market to the fans and engage, they must either be too lazy or think themselves above it. They're too good to be getting out there and hustling up attention and fan excitement. They barely address the media as it is even though they won't get any hostility.
If they don't care enough to try to sell the fans on caring, the fans will stop caring. Or rather, have stopped caring.
The Holts’ divorce puts an added significant risk to the fate of the Spurs.
Good overall post man. I think the growing disdain for what Pop has become is real. Sure everyone respects what he has done in the past, but he’s not that guy anymore, And his shtick with the media and coaching has become tired.Quote:

Just remember, when you buy tickets, you're helping pay 50 Mills. you're handing over your [possibly] hard-earned money to Patty Mills.
:lmao fat antonians bitching because they dont have more restaurants near the arena :lol
When spurs were winning titles nobody was bitching tbqh. So now everything is wrong with the franchise? I guess thats what having a top 5 GOAT in the team for 16 years will do that to you. Meanwhile during those 16 years spur fans were among the worst in the league.
Good season ticket seats are hard to come by still. You might be able to find something, but you’re choices will be limited. Obviously Kawhi being out has caused some panic, but ultimately I think him coming back will spark new sales if there is anything much to be had. Anyone thinking it’s going to be different than that is wrong. The Spurs have a very supportive fan base and the limited amount of season tickets available speaks to that. If Kawhi leaves then it will likely get some people to bow out.
I think the reality is that when somone's winning, whatever shtick they have will be embraced and viewed as the trait of someone successful. When Spurs were dominant, Pop's bristling was associated with him being hyper focused on the team and having no time for small talk. Now that they're performing badly, he comes off as a grumpy old man.Quote:

Pop avoided media attention. Contrast that with Kerr who is a media whore. I think I prefer Pop’s approach.
These will be the times that try fans' souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their team; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
After 20 record setting years, how many will bottom out when the team struggles to rebuild. I was a fan with season tickets for 20+ years without ever seeing a championship from those seats. Ya got to love the team you got.
Yes, those Dubs games will be annoying...Quote:

This. The Spurs had some of the league's best fans ever back when they weren't even sniffing the conference finals. Die hard Spurs fans aren't going anywhere. This team is literally part of the city's identity.Quote:

And then there's the way he coaches, which is designed to ensure that he and his system always get more credit than the players for the Spurs' success.Quote:

Naw they’ll have a lottery pick to promote.
Cleveland Browns like five dollar seats will be available
I don’t know how often they do it, but they do $10 SRO seats in the balcony behind the visitors basket. They even have seats/ stools, food, and a big bar.Quote:
