How many ASGs have you personally attended?
I'm interested in dating Jessica Alba.
Is this a trick question? You know that kid has never left the comfort of his parents home.
Better yet, has the troll ever been to San Antonio?
But the Spurs have hosted an ASG before. You've never even seen her in person.
Advantage Spurs.
One, many moons ago (1990)
1. Sick burn, really. I'm serious. This is my serious face
2. Yes, a couple times on business. There's the Alamo, some places to eat, and an open sewer the locals call the Riverwalk
I went to the 96 one. It was a pretty crazy week overall tbh. Lots of things to do.
I understand the Alamodome could accommodate more people, but do they still even keep up with that place anymore?
Terrible investment.
Very true. The atmosphere of the event and the days leading up to it far exceed the game, tbh.
So you never even left the central loop? Nice. Well, you explored all of SA. Good job. I'm serious. This is my serious face.
In the sense that one in a thousand is better odds than one in a million.
Yeah, it just underwent a multi million dollar interior renovation and also had new high tech scoreboards and tv screens added prior to that.
I don't get it, which odds belong to who?
But seriously, you honestly think there's no shot?![]()
My bad, scrah...give me a cliffs notes version of what I've missed and I'll be sure to catch it next time I'm passing through.
We've had this discussion before. The Alamodome pales in comparison to Jerry World and Reliant Stadium, and that's just the other two NBA cities in the state of Texas.
San Antonio is still an NBA city so it's not impossible, but there's really no practical chance when you look at the locations/facilities that the NBA has recently selected.
Will someone let john know that SA has hosted numerous Final Fours..Of course he will make the claim that the All-Star game is bigger than the Final 4...
Unfortunately these are the types of individuals the ASG attracts. Unless its a bar, club or gentleman establishment they are not interested. Im sure San Antonio with its history and culture can provide more than enough 'entertainment' for more most folks.
Reliant stadium has been around almost ten years and when Houston hosted in 2006, they hosted it at the Toyota center.
Dallas hosted most of the events in the NBA arena while only the actual game was held at Cowboys stadium because Cuban wanted to break records.
So throwing out football stadiums as a reason for why SA won't host an all star game or diminishes the chances of hosting is silly because playing in a large stadium is rare and not something the NBA looks at.
Because the facility is just one of the things looked at. The Alamodome would be used simply because the rodeo takes place during the ASG.San Antonio is still an NBA city so it's not impossible, but there's really no practical chance when you look at the locations/facilities that the NBA has recently selected.
I'd say if the Spurs put a bid in, I'd like their chances.
You said the same thing last year and they picked Orlando.
Dream on if you like, but the recent decisions made by the NBA and the NCAA are telling. The biggest events aren't coming back to San Antonio.
I said what? I don't think I've ever had a Spurs hosting ASG discussion on this forum or ever in my life to be honest. Could you find the thread?
As for Orlando, they got the ASG because they got a new arena.
You're acting like the Spurs put a bid in every year and get snubbed. They don't. Who know's when the last time the Spurs put a bid in.
Nice, hadn't heard about that up here in Austin.
Guess they are hoping to attract SOMETHING then.
Do you think the Spurs would have better chacnes if it was hosted in the ATT cEnter?
