Coming to San Antonio for the first time...

How does one get to be a Spur fan living in Montana?

If you read this wolf, I think it's a great question...what brought you to be a Spurs fan of all the teams you could have chosen to root for?

I was about 10, and at San Antonio. I was by this bridge, surrounded by thousands of people. All of a sudden bats flew out from under a bridge. Millions of them. It was awsome. I don't remember where I was. Can someone tell me?

You were in Austin, not San Antonio. The bats live under the Congress Ave Bridge across Town Lake.

Oh, thanks. I guess I thought I was in San Antonio because thats where my aunt lives. We must have went there before she took me back to Missouri.

Although I live in Missouri, Texas is the place I'd really love to be.

How does one get to be a Spurs fan when you've never been outside of Philly except for one trip to Miami?

Thanks for the info on the shuttle. Should help. When I was younger I was fortunate to meet David Robinson in Annapolis, my dad was in the navy at the time and David was playing for the midshipmen. Ever since then I've followed the spurs and really fell in love with them back in the Vinny Del Negro, Shawn Elliot, Paul Pressey, Willie Anderson days.

Rocked the Nike Forces dave used to wear, loved the teal and pink, but it was all david, withouth him I probably wouldn't be a fan. Got to see him play several times in Seattle and Denver and Utah. I also enjoy the spurs at ude, not the selfish thug mentality that dominates the NBA

The Mrs and I are coming to town on Thursday the 5th and staying through the 10th. We are going to the Goldenstate and Portland games. Huge spurs fans from Montana.

The reason for the post is just general advice on what to see and where to eat along the riverwalk. Local knowledge is invaluable.... The alamo (obviously) seaworld, and the spurs run walk are scheduled. We are staying at the Emily Morgan, I think its older, but we got a smokin deal on it.

How much is cab fare to downtown from the airport? What time do you go to the games to see the spurs warming up?

Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to help us experience your great city!!!

If you're up late some night and feel like getting something to eat along with some authentic ambience of San Antonio, get a cab to the near west side at the Market and try the Mi Tierra restaurant. Mariachis play almost all night and the real San Antonians come for talk and late meals.
