    After 50 Cent buys up the seats to keep them empty. I understand wanting the cash from corporations that buy up seats BUT it really is a bad look for so many empty seats all the dang time. You never see this in OKC or Golden State much less the Lakers. The Spurs front office needs a policy that if you aren't there by the end of the first quarter , people can migrate down or something. It means less home court advantage and a bad look nationally. They need to do something because it has been a problem for years.

    There's just far too much food around keeping Fat Antonians from sitting in their seats and watching the game.

    Laziest fattest city in the country. One sports team and they can't even support them. The voter turnout last week was pathetic as well....

    It's happening around the league, even in OKC and Toronto

    Nobody cares anymore.

    5-10-15-20-25 years ago the place would have been flooded with Rockets fans buying up all the tickets. Same with the Mavericks game (but maybe not 20+ years ago of course)

    I won’t pay money to see this team play. Plus it’s too damn cold outside on a weekend I don’t work for once.

    Toronto is always filled with fans and is extrmely loud. Nice try though.

    What I do notice now is that every start of the 3rd quarter ( even lakers games)...no one is around.

    Maybe time to increase halftime by 5 minutes to allow fans to return?

    I've seen it in Toronto also. Fewer open seats maybe, but they're there.

    Corporate tickets.

    Raps fans are actually complaining because theres less seats to buy now because of all the corporate bought tickets.


    I think some dude here said a good chunk of spurs seats in the lower areas are bought by companies who either never use it or never sell it.

    I mean you cant fault ball clubs for making the easy sale but still

    Not all money is smart money, because the empty seats hurt the brand

    If no one comes to their seats by halftime, they should randomly select fans from a higher section to fill those seats.

    One, it just looks terrible on tv. Looks like we just dont care. Two, maybe you end up getting the rowdy fans that can actually show more enthusiasm then those who typically sit in those seats.

    For those who own those seats, use them or lose them.

    To be fair, Atnt center was built in the worst place possible. The city thought that by building it out there they could kind of revamp that side of town, but it just didn't really work. I mean there is nothing to do out there. Plus it's sucha to get there having to deal with all that 35 traffic. Takes me 45 minutes to get to the game when it starts at 7 tbh. Just a rough drive.

    The city had nothing to do with it. The county already had the land around Freeman Coliseum after the city couldn't find a way to blow up the projects south of Hemisfair Park.

    Well then the county screwed up then. Either way it's in a horrible location.
