Went to game last night...what was up with the security?

[SequSpur]

I wasn't aware they were security wanding everyone 100 feet away from the front entrance...Fricking BS, it took 20 minutes just to get in the front door.... Was there a press release about the new security checks at the ATT?

If's almost like going into the airport now...WTF?

[Dr. Gonzo]

Hi Sequ!!

[jjktkk]

If I was the security guy, I would of slapped you upside the head, and tell you to "suck balls".

[G-Nob]

If they don't wand your penis, the terrorists win.

[Sense]

last time I went to a Spurs game... 2005 I believe, against Sacramento...

I just walked right in, I was surprised.. I thought there would be more security, but they just scanned my tickets and walked right in.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I went to two games earlier this season and security wasn't like that. Maybe they were concerned about the bad blood between Spurs fans and Raptor fans.

[Spursfanfromafar]

They were putting up IQ meters, I suppose. Trying to prevent anyone with less than 30 to get inside the arena. Considering you managed to get in, it must have been an achievement. Moron.

[EricB]

NBA controlls that, not the Spurs.

I've been to 2 games this season and security wasnt the way you describe it...

last night was the first game they did it....they had lines 300-400 people deep 100 feet away from the arena..

Damn...

[awktalk]

I've been to four games this season and the only thing they did was search purses and backpacks.

[hsxvvd]

Solomon Alabi been running credit card scams.

[SequSpur]

yeah, I am not sure...i don't like it..what is the next step? metal detectors? I have to get to the game earlier and wait in line to be searched?

They had you empty your pockets, hold your hands above your shoulders and they did the security wand front and back..

Just find this chaos interesting...We got to the game at 730 and missed the first 7 minutes because we were waiting in line....

[awktalk]

FWIW, I went to the Hoyas/Duke matchup in DC last year which Obama attended. Got wanded, but only waited about 20 minutes to get through. POTUS was a sitting courtside, secret service everywhere.

[SequSpur]

Odd, I was there 45 minutes early and it was only a 5 or 6 minute wait.

Typical rush is 10-20 minutes before the game...

They've been doing this randomly for years. The first time I remember was during the 2005 Finals, but it pops up a few times a year. Like Phila said, it's no problem if you show up early, but if you get there near game time then you're going to miss tip off.

[Yorae]

Maybe they found out in advance that YOU were coming.....

[UnWantedTheory]

Did you let anyone, I mean anyone, know you were going to the game? Could they have had any leads? That could explain it perhaps. It seems they missed you though...they should put the wrench to work & tighten it up even more. Don't you fret, I'll start writing the letter.

[jb4g]

Games broadcast nationally feature increased security. Never really understood why, blowing the place up on FSSW will still get plenty of eyeballs.

[lefty]

The Sequspur Alert was very high.

[Das Texan]

You should tell them to go themselves Sequ.
