    San Antonio just kissed the NFL goodbye for the next 25 years. The NFL would laugh at an owner who wanted to bring a team to a city that couldn't sell out Western Conference Finals tickets.
    I wonder about that. While this certainly looks bad, it is no secret that South Texas is football country. , high school football is lot bigger here than the Spurs.


    And the way it's looking, I'm not sure the Spurs can survive here long-term. You can't sell out WCF, WTF is going to happen when the Spurs suck again?

    St. Louis.
    I doubt that . San Antonio is growing very fast and much more importantly, the demographics are finally changing toward the yuppier end of the spectrum. The bottom line is that there really aren't that many people with serious disposable income in San Antonio, at least not after the mandatory Escalade or F-250 King Ranch payments. And many of those who do are more interested in traditional "white" sports like golf and gardening...

    Admittedly, the change in this city is painfully slow and subject to frequent missteps like those Cluster Towers by the Court House that are advertised as "luxury condos". Luxury, my ass!

    I put in a call to all the news stations about Ticketmaster telling thousands of people that they were sold out of tickets for Games 1 and 2, then all of a sudden tickets appear.

    Hopefully we see a story on this. Kens 5 and KSAT were the ones mostly interested in doing a story on it. We'll see.

    i think Spurs vs Rockets could be a sell-out WC than Utah.

    only those 2 All-Star TMAc & Yao failed to deliver. Chose to follow Dirk...

    Thats what the Spurs need to find out. Its their job to sell tickets and if people aren't buying the tickets then there is obviously a problem. A Spurs official who "shakes his head" and says like that should be pissed at the Spurs organization that can't get these tickets sold.

    A lot of people know that Jazz doesn't have a lot to offer to compete or challenge the Spurs. I bet you, If the Jazz endup winning the next two games.... game 5 will be sold out.

    why does it always have to be a race issue?

    Just because Im "white" doesn't mean anything, IIRC the most dominate player in golf isn't "white".


    I ing hate it when race is an issue.

    I got a free ticket at the last minute so I got to enjoy the game there. It was actually alot louder than I had anticipated and I was sitting in the lower bowl. Those fans were just as rowdy as ones I have sat by in the upper deck. It was nice of San Antonio to show up, it was a great game.

    biggest reason i can see...


    - the opponent this round.


    higher ticket prices are an excuse, not the problem. if one was really excited, they'd find a way to come up with the scratch needed to get in the door.
    exactly. Utah is viewed as boring and a bad draw. So the interest level across the board including the people who can afford the games is down enough that the games are close to not being sold out.

    If the opponent was more attractive or the ticket prices were more affordable to open up more of the fan base who can go to the games then there would not be a problem with sellouts.

    Because we're 70 miles from Utopia.
