anyone been to Memphis? may be trying to go for the game in Nov.
Since a lot of teams hope uni's are white, a lot of fans are likely wearing white Jerseys. Some teams hand out those free t-shirts before games for fans. They typically reserve that for playoffs but do it for some reg season games (ex: OKC fans with blue T's). when that happens you def want to stick out

I live in DC so I always see the Spurs when they're in town. To be honest, it's basically a home game for them - the arena is is split 50/50 on fans, and the Spurs fans are always much more interested in the game than the Wizards fans (no surprise there). As far as I remember, I've always ended up randomly sitting next to other Spurs fans every time I've gone.
I go to Heat games (live in Miami). Generally, I don't consider Heat fans true fans - a lot arrive late and leave early - like they did in 13 playoffs game 1 and wanted back into the arena. There are quite a few Spurs fans here - a lot of Manu fans because of the Latin influence. They don't bother me - in fact some joke with me because I'm in a Duncan jersey and my son used to wear a Shaq jersey so we looked unusual together. Did take off my Duncan jersey after playoff game 1 since we were taking the MetroRail home and a lot of the fans were drunk.
I live in California and watched out boys play in every arena in California and in Phoenix and of course, ATT Center. Actually, my 1st game was at Alamodome with DRob in 1995. My 2nd game there was Spurs v LAL in 04 when Manu scored 35 against the LAL with Shaq, Kobe, GP, and Karl Malone but they lost in double OT.
As for being a Spurs fan at these arenas. You get heckled but you should be okay. Just don't try to borrow trouble. Trouble has a way a finding you, so just minimize it. LAL fan cracks me up the most.
Good pal of mine was in Memphis during the WCF. Said he was watching a game in bar that had a sign in the window "No shirt, No service, No Tony Parker!"
I've been to a few reg. season games here in Miami. There are plenty of Argentinians here and they're all Spurs fans, so there is always a pretty big (loud) crowd of people supporting the Spurs.
Thanks man! I still haven't even gotten my Private Pilot's license or logged any official hours.... So I need a lot of luck and time......
And money. Lol
Oakland and Sacramento have some of the best fans around. Passionate about their teams through the good and bad. I've been going to those games for the past 10 years and haven't had any trouble. Some fun trash talking.
When I lived in new york i went to several spurs knicks games and never had a problem believe it or not. I went decked out! I also went to jersey and dc for a couple of games and it was fine (no one in DC cares). Now I live in Utah and they have passionate fans, but have never had a problem. I'm not an annoying fan though.. i sit and watch for the most part and I cheer loud when they play well and make big plays. I go to more road games than home games, and still love seeing the spurs... i could argue that over the years, some of their best games have been played on the road... they just seem to be more focused.
Spurs and Suns when Nash was in his prime. I went to multiple playoff battles and man those Suns fans are loud. I went in repping my Ginobili jersey and even though I was only 13 their fans would talk to me. Shoot I even went in with a Spurs poster and their fans hated it. Not only that but I was super loud, if I wasn't so young at the time it would have been much worse. I was at the game where Nash had the bloody nose when he collided with Parker. What a game and atmosphere. That was a ton of fun! I went to several other Spurs and Suns games in Phoenix and all were a ton of fun with a fun environment. They hate Ginobili over there and boo him every time he touches the ball. I have also been to some Spurs and Hawks game in Atlanta, but that crowd is lame. The Hawks fans barely cheer for their team and they don't say anything to opposing fans. I did go to the Spurs vs Hawks game that went to OT on a ESPN Sunday night game. I sat courtside for that one so it was sick especially since it was a close game. That was when we had Dyess, Hill, and . At the time TP was out with a broken finger from a game against Memphis and Ginobili was going off in that stretch of the season.
They are a great road team for sure.
Living in Minneapolis, I alway go to the target center when the spurs come up here to play the wolves. I went to game 2 of the finals to see the spurs play the heat. Planning on driving up to Milwaukee this season to see the spurs play the Bucks since it isn't that far of a drive from where I live.
Never. When I was out of town, they were either playing somewhere else or it was not basketball season.
But I'm happy to say that all the games I have seen in S.A., and there were quite a few each season, were fantastic seats, the worst being 8 rows from court side, and the best were box seats given to me by A. Drossos.
