They've had blackouts before, I know that much ...
I would call it the BLACK OUT

They should pass around large cardboard squares which are completely black.
The crowd at each end could form a wall of black so that the player shooting a free throw could only see one color. Then, right before he shoots, the crowd throws them down and yells, "BOO!"That would be priceless.
Also, huge beach towels flowing back and forth across the crowd to create a "rippling" effect would be cool to see. And daunting.
And hey, since we're the Spurs, how about free plastic Spurs that make a "clang" sound? That would be a very unique noise to create in an NBA arena, were it allowed.
San Antonio organization is cheap and boring.
maybe they could shut down the lights. they would save $ and be team spirit.
There you go. The Jazz had something like that today. It was sponsored by Zion bank or something like that.
*edit*
Here's a picture.
Ahh, "Zions Bank". That makes more sense than what I thought it said, "Zion's Back"
Hmmm, a Mormon Bank. http://zionsbank.com/about_zions_bank.jsp

Considering the state, I'm tempted to say the latter would be a more accurate reflection of their loyalties. :PAhh, "Zion's Bank". That makes more sense than what I thought it said, "Zion's Back"

Looks like a gay pride parade. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
Zion Bank bought out Amegy bank about two years ago ... not sure if you guys have any Amegy banks in SanAn.
I dunno what the big deal is. The bottom line is that good Spurs tickets are dirt cheap compared to some other NBA tickets that I've bought. I'll take that over a free towel any day.
And all you need to do is take a walk down Commerce toward the Mercado and there are plenty of stores with "semi-official" Spurs shirts and stuff for less than $10.
And why the do they play "if you're happy and you know it" every damn night. And that tired country twang when the Spurs make a free throw.
The Spurs need a more electric environment. Need some fresh blood in that arena making the atmosphere rocking!
Lots of teams have done it this year. All you need is a sponsor. Spurs don't seem to want to bother with it for some reason.
Here's an idea ... Why not get everyone who has a ticket to saturdays game donate their ticket to a nun in the SA area and that way we get a dual effect...they all wear black and bring one big home team prayer with them !!!
With all the sponsors the Spurs have, they should be able to find someone willing to do this.
And as for the issue with sizes- just make them all large or extra large- they only have to fit for the game. Smaller people can tie them if need be.
I'd be happy if they got rid of "Y'all ready for this?" HATE that song.

notice the scoreboard at the time. haha.
Where is Body Solutions when you need them?????????????
I have to admit, it's got more punch than the, "Hey Nash, where did you Parker your car?" sign that I was going to make for Game 3.

That or bring a bunch of Shiite hunniez in black burcas for black out effect, not to mention intimidate the cheery Suns.
Can't say Valero doesn't have the cash to pony up for some shirts, that's for sure!
Pom poms are fine. They go well with our tired and corney "go spurs go" chant.
Yeah I've been wanting them to have a black out for quite sometime but than I saw how badass Oracle Arena looked and relized we MUST have one. I dunno why the Spurs dont make it happen, its either they dont care or they are too cheap.

You have some pretty good ideas!

That took me back to the 2005 finals
All of those towels and shirts would take away from the quiet atmosphere known as the "T"
Blasphemy!
Why ruin the boring image that folks outside San Antonio believe in when it comes to the Spurs and their organization?
