    San Antonio, TX - (Mar. 10, 2006) - The San Antonio Spurs Coyote was named best mascot of the year, for 2005, by Gameops.com. The Spurs organization will present the award during the second time out of the first quarter at the Spurs vs. Rockets game at the AT&T Center, on Sunday, March 12 at 2:30 pm.

    The Coyote has been the San Antonio Spurs’ mascot for 23 seasons, and is now one of the most recognizable faces of the organization. “We take a lot of pride in all areas of organization, including Game Operations,” said Don Costante, director of game operations and promotions for the San Antonio Spurs. “The Coyote is a big part of game presentation, so it means a lot to us that our mascot is deemed the #1 mascot of all sports.”

    Gameops.com, a website created in 1998, serves major sports organizations both at the professional and collegiate level. The website offers suggestions for promotions, music and video features, as well as a full dictionary of industry terminology. The website is only one of two in the nation that offer yearly game operation awards. The Best Mascot award considers creativity, enthusiasm, and value to the community. Mascots from all levels and kinds of sports are eligible for the award. “The continued success of the Coyote character is a true testament to both the performers and the Spurs organization,” said Gameops.com. “The Coyote is a model program and a true legend in San Antonio.”

    Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) work with three different mascots: The Spurs Coyote, Silver Stars Fox, and Rampage T-Bone. The Coyote appears at all 41 regular season home games each year, as well as all playoff games. In addition, makes nearly 400 community appearances every year.

    This is awful! This is why kids these days are so terrible. The evil media keeps rewarding poor role models. They couldn't give the award to a mascot who didn't get ejected?

    This is very good. When I go to the games I always have my eye on the Coyote. He cracks me up even though I have seen his acts over and over again. It never gets old.

    Congrats to the coyote. However, I have to say, to me, the coyote costume is ugly as all . They could put a little more effort into making it look decent.

    I wish the Pistons mascot could win. Sadly, I doubt anyone wants to see a horse that is drugged up.

    I was walking around the Salado Creek bed just south of NE 410 near Starcrest and south of Los Patios a couple days ago looking the the SA Parks and Rec are doing to build a "Linear Parkway" along the creek.

    Saw my first coyote in San Antonio. I wonder if he/she's been taking out our racoons, skunks, possums?

    Damm someone outdid that Gorilla in Phoenix - Thank God!
    My next favorite after the Cayote is the Sasquatch in Seattle - one ugly costumn the the guy who wears it apparently played college ball and puts on quite a show. Stupidiest looking IMO is the Bucks, Deer who looks like he came out of a bad horror movie.
