May have an opportunity to go see the Spurs on a few away games this year. Spurs fans are always nice to opposing fans at our place, at least from what I have seen. Anyone have a notable experience, good or bad, watching the Spurs on the Road? Is it better to not wear Spurs stuff in the enemy's house? LOL
Away games in Dallas are a lot of fun. Their fans are idiots, and not friendly at all, but that is what makes it fun. Definitely an enjoyable experience. Seen the Spurs a few times in Toronto. Since there is no rivalry or bad blood, it's not as fun, but the crowd goes freaking nuts when Bonner checks in. They love him there.
Strangely enough, Dallas is one of those I may go to. They didn't try to give you a beating or anything did they? Lol about Bonner. Go figure.
Seen them play in Indiana and Chicago. Went to the Pacer game in 2009, surprisingly I'd say the team representation was pretty much split 50-50. Might have something to do w/ the fact that Pacers sucked back then. Overall I'd say that the fans were quite friendly, and the game atmosphere wasn't that electric. Chicago is a different story, the energy in the building is crazy in there. Unfortunately, I was there to watch D-Rose drop 42 on Parker in 2011. The arena seemed to get louder every time Rose would nail a shot. While their fans may not be as friendly as Pacers', they aren't exactly hostile either.
I so want to start a GO SPURS GO! chant in someone else's building, tbh.
And get beated when theyre in memphis
Go to Houston
Go to Houston
If it would work I would. Almost went last year when they were in Houston.
I usually catch them at Staples a couple of times a year. Will be there to see them play the Clips in February.
I decided to go with a buddy at least once a year to an away game since 2011. I have been to Philly, LA (clips), Brooklyn, and went to Oakland for game 6 of the playoffs where the Spurs closed them out. It's a great experience to go to, specially when they win. Also been to Houston of course. Fans usually aren't too rowdy or anything, might just get heckled a little bit.
And you gotta wear your gear to show who you're repping, be a true fan.
I try to go when the Spurs come to ATL. From 99-2008 or so we had a large group, like 2or3 hundred but the last couple of years it has dropped off. A lot of us moved to Georgia with the C5 workload from Kelly.
Huh. Never noticed that before. I wonder if it's a coincidence, or if Staples thought, hey, we should sponsor a team that's named after office supplies.
When I lived in Arizona id try to go to at least 2 Spurs games.
Suns fans are still extremely bitter towards Spurs fans. There was multiple times I almost got into fights from 2005-2009.
Yeah, PHX hates us. I used to fly one of the part owners around. My Spurs bag tag always got their attention.
I met Nellie one time. "Go Spurs go, right coach?" Lol
Me and the wife (and baby) were in LA for game 3 of this years playoffs. Hostile crowd and we wore spurs gear.
Ah you're a pilot? Nice to see one of those around here! I really want to become one, but I heard you need a college degree first so I'm studying Aerospace Engineering.. Yay!
I went to a game in Boston back in 2010. Crowd wasn't hostile except for a couple of drunk dudes outside the stadium. Also, there was a bunch of Spurs fans at the game, I was surprised.
I attend road games at least once (sometimes twice) a season... Always wear my Spurs gear, and always a great experience...
At the Brooklyn game last year, there were a fair share of Spurs fans around particularly in the areas by the Spurs bench. Couldn't tell how many were in the building because the Nets stole our darn colors.
I've been to 3 Spurs-Lakers games and 2 Spurs - Clippers games. All good experiences at Staples, especially since I've only been to games where the Spurs won
saw game 3 of Spurs-Clippers last year where the spurs came back from that monster first half deficit. this past year i went to the clipper game where TP shat all over CP3.
I always rock a white jersey at laker games (since a lot of laker fans dont wear jerseys and wear black shirts n , so i dont want to blend with them) and i wear by black jerseys at clipper games, since clippers home jerseys are white. always had great experiences tbh
Went to 2 away Faker playoff games in '03 wearing D-Rob away jersey, cap and tat.
Getting booed walking outside the Staples Center was awesome as Kareem watched on.
Getting jabbed at after the game by a hoodlum was not so cool as he was getting aggressive.
Fellow Spurs fans came to the rescue.
MFFL's are just loud in .allas, but no problems there.
In New Jersey and Oakland games were attended by lots of Spurs fans so that was cool.
I went to a few Spurs-Celtics games when I lives in Boston going to college. It was in 2002-2005 before they got Garnett. Spurs laid the boom on the Celts and I mostly kept my cheers to clapping in the upper deck of the Garden.
Then I lived in Phoenix for work and went to see several Spurs-Suns games. Since I actually lived in Phoenix, I felt more comfortable showing my Spurs pride then. I actually went to one of the playoff game 4s with a broom when the Spurs had a chance to sweep. The Suns bounced back with a W to avoid the embarassment, but by this year the Suns fans were numb to losing to the Spurs so I didnt catch any angry fans.
Yeah. No degree required but it helps. More glamour than anything. One mistake and your career is over, even if nobody gets hurt or anything damaged. Just misread a clearance. Even doctors don't get that treatment. Maybe the supply and demand equation will work out in your favor. My generation are all on the short end of that regarding pay and qol. Good luck!

Guess I will take both black and white and wear what stands out.
