CVC in talks to buy minority stake in Spurs

[Barfunk]

is it a big spurs town? i've never thought about it.

I know you're trying to be a smart ass but come on man, it's an hour ing drive via a straight shot on I-35. It may as well be San Antonio - Austin by now.

Can you make that in an hour nowadays?

[Barfunk]

Relatively. The traffic is not so bad usually once you get Buda, etc.

not during the day. Takes me almost two hours in normal traffic unless I take the toll road. I-35 is a mess these days.

The elevated lanes should help some but I can only imagine how bad it’s going to be during construction.

I was going to say the traffic in Austin is silly stupid, but I was referring to when you technically get outside of Austin or even around South Park Meadows, the traffic is not as bad starting there.

It's bad from SA all t way to New Braunfels, gets better until Kyle (sans around the Outlets), and is the rest of the way. Just too many trucks and commuters between the cities.

At least construction won't be on the actual freeway for most of it, but yeah it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Wonder what they're gonna eventually do about Austin? I'd start by redirecting the 35 onto the toll roads to bypass Austin and do away with the tolls while banning all truck traffic along current I-35 except for local business.

Thinking a millionaire NBA player cares about bar hopping on Rainey or 6th street after the game .

Not trying to make this an Austin vs San Antonio argument. Both are great cities, and pretty much every city/town in Texas has its charm.

Of course you have the Joe Rogan's who move from Cali to Texas who hype Austin/Texas like it is the best thing since sliced bread that is why the city gets even more appeal. That is where I can see that LA/New York hypel to it. Austin is a smaller SA with a much better (entertainment)/modern downtown area imo. Don't see a lot of differences outside of that & probably political views.

Most of the Spurs players either live right outside of downtown or the La Cantera area both really beautiful areas that have everything you need there. Outside of Jefferson who was trolling. I have not heard of any players say how boring or lame SA is. Even Charles Barkley mentions how great SA is even with all them big ol women out there . Duncan, Parker, and Gino still live here majority of the year so they know it's a great city to raise a family.

Most of the NBA teams either stay at Hotel Emma at the Pearl which has been recognized as one of the best hotels & area's in the country or the Grand Hyatt which is really nice. So it's not like the parts of SA they see outside of the AT&T Center aren't very nice.

I agree that Austin is booming and any relocation or expansion franchise (outside of NBA) should look at Austin. I think getting a MLS team is perfect for the city. At the end of day they will always be a college town like SA will always be a basketball town even if they ever got another franchise.

San Antonio sounds OK for NBA players when you lay it out like that. I didn't realize Joe Rogan moved to Austin. When/why did he make the decision to move? I haven't watched his podcast for a while now (haven't had the time). Was it a recent move?

Thanks for the video, Playblair. I'll try and watch it when I have some time.

I see Austin and SA as very different. Different education levels. Different money levels. Different racial numbers (Austin is much whiter). Austin may be 90 minutes north, but culturally it is about 1500 miles away, in my opinion.

[Leetonidas]

Idk why anyone would think Austin is a more attractive destination. it's a hole tbh, you literally cannot even go to a restaurant in a suburban area without seeing a homeless guy arguing with a garbage can. walking downtown is a nightmare

[daslicer]

Without prognosticating on what the Spurs will do, lol at any of you idiots thinking SA or Houston is better than Austin. Houston is a massive sprawl of suburbs and hole strip clubs. It’s not a marquee city, has a ty ing owner, and has nothing to boast about other than some really good shawarma. SA will always be a sleepy small town masquerading as a slightly larger town.

There is no other city in the US booming like Austin. Real estate prices are soaring because of the mass influx here. The city is becoming an economic hub with relocations like Tesla and Oracle (along with the mass amount of other tech companies). There’s more to do, a younger more urban vibe, and a better overall social climate. If you’re a young rich player who’s looking for corporate opportunities and the ability to party with some really attractive women, you’d be hard pressed to find a better city than Austin.

Do you live in Austin?

[vy65]

Do you live in Austin?
