visiting san antonio. help me pick a hotel near the at&t center?

That was a place the city was considering before they punted. Should have been there or in the Alamodome parking lot. It was built right after WW2, so who knows what was there then.

Should have been where Toyota Field, the STAR soccer complex, the new NEISD stadium, and all that is over there right off 35 and Wurzbach Parkway. Built around that old quarry.... would have been so awesome location wise, and in the way that it looks. I remember seeing the sketches of the plans, they were sweet.

Hilton Palacio Del Rio.. On the Riverwalk, short walk to restaurants and mall and $20 cab ride to AT&T center.. 4 star hotel, got a room there last year for $81 a night via Priceline.

Yeah, the arena would have been better basically anywhere but its current location. The only good thing is that it's easy to control the traffic. Guess we'll get another chance in 20 years or so.

You can crash on my couch in Southtown if you don't mind sharing your continental breakfast out of the same dish as my gato.

Wasn't that the 1998 plan that just got killed at the ballot box? Boy did the Spurs come close to ending up like the Sonics.

Maybe, I seem to remember hearing something more recently about NEISD having something to do with killing that plan tho... Because they already had their sights set on that new football stadium. I went to school in NEISD, but screw them if that was ever really the case.

And Thank God for Tim Duncan, right?

Try Best Western Plus Sunset Suites-Riverwal, it is close to downtown and has free parking. I wanted to stay there a year ago but it was booked out. looks good location for me. Or just pick some where around the airport.

Y'all all need to learn your Spurs business history. There should be a whole board on that topic.

[SA210]

Yeah they were afraid to break the generational arc of poverty in the projects where the arena should have gone.

Funny thing is they still tore down the projects.

And were forced to rebuild them and keep it residential. Pretty awesome forcing a quarter billion dollar building to go somewhere else than where they wanted it

lol

The hotels by AT&T Center are quite expensive since you need to pay by the hour.

Yes, but some places bundle the room with a free crack . Give him all the info...just saying.
