    Are you guys serious?? It is not a sellout!!! You guys need to appreciate what you have and support the Spurs. That is a crime your building is not sold out. I know you guys beat us, but ask what the atmosphere was like in Game 5. Don't take for granted what you have.
    Did they give out free T-shirts in Phoenix?

    I think that Phoenix crowd in game 5 helped fuel the Spurs win in game 6. There's no way the Spurs wanted to go back there.

    Sun fan needs to understand:

    1) Puro San Antonio has been priced out of the building
    2) Puro San Antonio, despite not being able to get into building, dominates 'Club 200'
    3) Apparently Puro San Antonio tricked security into thinking they were the custodial staff, or food service
    4) Suburb Fan won't go to the game because he wants to bang his neighbor's wife on his neighbor's new suede chair instead
    5) Suburb Fan doesn't want to be around Puro San Antonio, even though Puro San Antonio has been priced out of the building, except for the ones who snuck into 'Club 200'
    6) The Spurs suck at marketing because they don't advertise to Suburb Fan that they have priced Puro San Antonio out of the building, and also they don't give out free T-shirts or discount hot dogs.

    After reading all of this, I'm sure you understand why San Antonio won't support the Spurs, dynasty or no dynasty.

    the spurs fans in their mid 20s to mid 30s who are banking and wouldn't mind dropping $400 or whatever on a playoff game are not in san antonio de bexar. they are in houston, dfw, austin, nyc, la, seattle, dc, etc...but not in san antonio. the best you can hope for is that they make it back every playoffs for a game or two.

    Spurs/Jazz: 3 more people & we'll have enough for a riot!
    By Roy Bragg
    http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/atlarge/


    My pleas for "Anarchy in SA" didn't fall on deaf ears. Remember, you can be loud and angry now, or you can be morose and bitter like those losers in Dallas and Phoenix.

    It's your choice.


    I'd love to go to a Spurs playoff game. Sadly, with a family of 4 (two parents, two teenaged sons) I can't afford it on a teacher's salary. It sux to be me.

    Judi


    The Anchor Desk responds: Hang in there, Judi. You're helping shape lives and the community is grateful. Here's an idea: Drop your kids off at the Ray Rangel American Legion Hall with their gloves and a note that says they're there to play baseball. Then drive off in a hurry, go to the AT&T and try to score scalped tickets for 2. If you can't do that, just keeping abusing people on the Internet.



    I agree with you about the fans at home games.When I see the games on TV, it is hardly loud; almost if the Spurs are the worst team in the league. What is the point of going to the game if you are not going to get into it . I remember at Alamodome being louder and that's a huge place. I thought when we got the AT&T center it was going to be the best it was smaller and louder, but its not it looks like the fans only clap when we make a basket. They sit when we are behind and it gets quiet if we are down and stays like that until the Spurs make a push. It should be the fans pushing the Spurs, not the Spurs making the fans loud. When I am at home, I am yelling and acting like I am there, cursing at the other team to choke like I did against the Suns. Fans need to get into more and act like true fans and cheer from the tip off to the last horn and be on their feet the whole time. The rest of the country doesn't want the Spurs to win, so San Antonio needs to get up and let the country know they are bring home number 4. The Spurs are the best in the league, so we as fans need to be the best in the league also. SO GET LOUD TONIGHT AND BRING THE HATE.

    Lance


    The Anchor Desk responds: Good call on the upper case to end the email. Nothing says "hate" like e-screaming. Well done, sir.


    I know what you mean about the crowd. I sat in the nosebleed seats and there wasn't one person around me that ever yelled or cheered. Once in a while they got off their feet — once when Horry checked in for the first time — but that was it. They should have stayed home. I wanted to yell at them to start cheering but it would have been useless. I have no idea why they were there if they weren't going to make some noise. I had to yell and scream for my entire section. They better do a better job tonight.

    Dana


    The Anchor Desk responds: You could threaten some people. Or buy hot coffee at the concession stand and then splash it on a few people to get them in the right frame of mind. Good luck tonight!

    I had no idea that the catch phrase this season is Get Ready! Get Loud! i have talked to many of my friends who also watch every Spurs game and none of them had an inkling that it was either. That says something about the marketing team for the Spurs when a group of rabid fans doesnt pick up on that.

    i havent bbeen to a game this year beig a a poor college student but last year when i went it was the same stupid production that they had on when i went as a k9id back in 1995.

    This whole thing kind of pisses me off. i watched the game on Sunday and had i known that there were seats available i would have hauled ass downtown to see it live. i hate the production but the team still makes me want to go. Fact is I didnt know so i watched the game like many others on ABC.

    All i have to say to the Spurs marketing team is you. Its your failure not mine. Maybe they should not wait til after the fact to sell their tickets.

    I have 2 kids that need to be in bed on time, and really don't know anyone that will babysit at my house so we can go.

    So, I won't be able to attend any games until at least next week...when school is out. But then the Spurs will be in Utah...so I guess that makes me a bad fan, too.

    I think there are alot of reasons that factor into why this is happening.

    1. It's the Jazz. It's not Dallas or Phoenix, I think even Golden State would draw more excitement than Utah. It's not the WCF we were all anticipating. Utah vs San Antonio isn't going to be exciting to the casual fan (which the majority of Spurs fans our, in my opinion).

    2. Prices of Tickets. I know there are tons of tickets on Ebay, StubHub, etc. But the original sales of tickets from Ticketmaster, is where the casual fan is going to start. Sorry, maybe some of you can afford $54 bucks for a seat half way up Club 200 for every home playoff game, but I can't. I got a damn good deal on my HD TV that I spent my entire tax return on and I'm going to get a of a lot of good use out of it. I can see the action way better on my TV than I ever could at the ATT, and having friends over is just as good as any playoff experience in an arena (sans The Finals).

    3. Spurs PR is . When's the last time we had a "Blackout"? When's the last time they gave away anything we see these teams like GSW, Utah, the Heat, even in Dallas they get clapper thingies! Those maracas were the best thing they ever gave away, they made a of alot of noise and were annoying as but they worked. They brought the arena together and made SA look like a rabid bunch of fans.

    4. Prices of The Game Experience. Let's say we spend that $54 per ticket. That's about $120 with taxes and "convenience" charges for two people. Cheapest parking is $8 (I'm not sure if that's still right, I haven't been to a game since last season.) Then if you want a soda or beer that's what like $6 to $7 (so $14 for two people, and that's just one beverage). God forbid you want to eat at the game (easily $25 for two people). And these silly vendors don't even take credit/debit cards for pete's sake! You could easily spend $150-$175 for ONE game. That's ing insane!

    5. Gas prices are kicking our asses. With gas being $3/gal alot of people don't have the kind of money to throw down to get to the arena. Getting to work and school usually come first before going to a game for most people.

    I love the Spurs to death but if they want to put the blame entirely on the Spurs being "spoiled" or "lazy" or whatever that's there prerogative. I just think they just take these factors into consideration before they go throwing all this blame on us.

    Great points, Ginofan!!!

    I have to agree.

    3 games in 5 days, not to mention that this game is on a Tuesday night.

    total cost of experience is pricey

    I didn't know that Ebay sold Spurs tickets and I don't think that I'm the only one. My wife has bought and sold stuff on Ebay, but I haven't and I don't have a clue how it works.

    cost of tickets listed as available are now more expensive

    Those are the main points. It's compounded by the fact that we are playing the Jazz.

    o! That is what sedatives and cribs are for. A TRUE fan would know that. So dope them up and lock up the house tight (and the matches, just in case, right?) and go buy your $50 a pair scalped tickets and show your true fandom!
