What is up with the fans....?

[bus driver]

It happens with every team and it is no bid deal. It was an extremely late game and people have work.

F Work! This is Spurs Playoff basketball.
Real fans stay till the end! Win or Lose
I stayed till the end on Sat. night and had to work early Sunday.....

[France B-boy]

So if the game is 110 to 110 and they are going to triple OT you all leave?

If you say yes then your not a true fan, no real fan bails on their team.

Its the playoffs, if your so worried about work stay home and watch the game.

You think by now you all would learn about leaving early.

[seth210]

we left about a minute or two early. trying to get out of the AT&T center parking lot is hard enough already.

[angel_luv]

I used to stay for each and every game all the way until after Bill Schoening's post game show.

But this season, for all but maybe three regular season games, I have left the arena at the start of the 3rd quarter when my job at the arena releases me.

I have become one of the "fans" I used to scorn.

But the truth is the Spurs have fallen several spots on my list of priorities. It happens.

Last night I would have left regardless of the score because I wanted to go spend time with my new cat.
I watched the fourth quarter at home on television.

Just because I left the arena before the final buzzer it does not mean I lost interest in the game or the outcome, as if likely the case with most who exit early.

[koriwhat]

like you said leave whenever you want.

preferably before the end of regulation. haha.

[koriwhat]

true! you all looked good on those white shirts!

my boss just gave me one of those game2 white tees. now i can put it in my closet with my game1 2007 finals white tee.

I was at the game- Alone & decked out in Spurs gear with " Go Spurs" signs which I carried out of the arena with me once the buzzer sounded.

I don't think anyone can question my team loyalty.

[superbigtime]

Oh jesus, another one of these threads. Look guy, if it bothers you so much, bye tickets and take a sleeping bag or tent and stay over night after the game if you want, if you're that hard up on people staying during 20 point blowouts.

No ! I buy the ing ticket, I leave when I want. Oversensitive dildos. Sounds like a Mavs fan observation.

Different situation..no one in here would leave at 110 to 110 going to triple OT...that's totally different. We were up by 23 with a minute left. This wasn't happening. I stayed..but I wouldn't bash anyone who wanted to leave...some people want to get out of the parking lot.

There as well. Talking crazy smack with some dudes in the nosebleeds. The walk of shame in my Spurs jersey after that was pretty epic.

[Creation88]

real fans can't afford those seats you see on TV. those are "i wanna be in the spotlight" fans.

[Obstructed_View]

You know what? If you don't like the fans leaving, tough ing . They paid their money, or maybe they didn't. Who the cares? Mind your own goddamn business. This ing holier-than-thou smacks more of class envy than anything else. You aren't a better fan than someone who leaves early, especially if they actually went to the game and you watched it on TV.

+1 I'm more concerned that the home crowd wasn't as loud as I would like them to be, but that's just my pet peeve. Get off your ass and yell!

[modtxspur]

I was at the game Saturday and disgusted when fans started leaving with two minutes left. Do you know why you don't leave early in a playoff game? Cause I had to hear lets go Mavericks for ten minutes (which sounds a lot like, "We're all gots). These three words should never be heard in The SBC.

thats just plain stupid.....if its close noone leaves....i had to be out by 6am and i stayed....im in tired. some ppl have kids there..theres school, work, long drives home like someone said...it always happens in every arena.

[arodz]

Spurs played their ass out to secure the game tonight, and fans left early? I know its a blowout, but pls. finish the game and give the whole team a standing ovation, this is not a regular season game... 4 mins remaining and majority left?

One word: FIESTA!

[jbspurs]

Guilty as charged. I was one of the people who left with a few minutes left. As others have mentioned, it was very late and I knew it would be another hour or so before I would go to bed. When the players start showing their loyalty to me by waking up with me at 6am, I'll consider staying til 11:30pm to watch them finish a game with a 20 pt lead.

And for the record, I'm not a "richy" who leaves because I have wads of cash in my pocket.

You're excused!

No one said you have to stay till the end, just don't get your Hanna Montana panties in a wad when you get called out.

You aren't a better fan than someone who leaves early,

No just a real fan, there is a difference!

Me and my wife sported the out of ours. My wife was wearing a nice black Spurs dress, but put the shirt over it anyway. I looked like a freaking dork putting mine on over my Bruce Bowen jersey. Jersey went WAY below the shirt..lol...but damnit I'm a fan.

Speaking of Bruce Bowen jersey, did you catch that family of four sitting court side ALL wearing Bowen jerseys? I thought that was great!

No..I missed that...pretty awesome though.

No big deal. It was just LA Faker fans and Dallas Mavettes fans needing to go to the crapper because they saw the real Spurs last night and it gave them the s. I saw little Bump leading the way. Us Spurs fans were just sittin' back and enjoying the moment.

When did you leave the arena?
