Answer to the OP is no.

Do the fans get some of their money back? Surely sitting in ac is part of the package you pay hundreds of dollars for

Loving the old school approach to this playoffs.... snakes in locker rooms, broken A/C.... very nice.

If the temp was 90 at court level, what was it up in the Cheap Seats?

Surely they can suck it up and stop whining. They came to see a basketball game, they saw it. And most of them wanted a Spurs win, and they got it. Who cares that it was 90F inside the building?

I bet the people selling drinks were happy.

I was there.

No. 1, it was hot.

No. 2, they weren't that cheap.

Worse than anything it puts a damper on our win. Everyone is second guessing the result since the greatest player in the universe couldn't play the 4th quarter.

Pisses me off actually.

No one else failed to finish the game. 'They' should be second guessing him.

Beats anything else on the market!

You obviously have a hard on for at&t.

It is about on par with their website and customer service, tbqh.

Two guys who sat next to me made sure they stayed hydrated by a steady stream of Bud Lights the whole game...
By the end of the game their legs were as wobbly as the Kings but they could walk out without someone carrying them....
That's what good training will do for you,,,,,,,

I see.



An assertion, but no support? Not even a link? That's ok, I know how to use Google -- not that this subtracts from my point.

If you already have the page opened, it's there in front of you. Otherwise I'd be happy to show you the reference.

In fact, here's an interesting article from a past Finals that talks about the value of naming rights. It applies similarly to AT&T and the Spurs.

The "relatively free" aspect of your post was hyperbole, but to be expected from a lazy rebuttal to a point I was making about marketing.

Actually, they signed it in 2003. SBC signed the contract and merged with AT&T a few years later, then they changed the company name to AT&T.

So 2023, that makes all the difference in the world.

So basically, the deal has about 9 years left. The Big 3 will play next year, so that's 8 years left... we don't know how good or bad they will be in those last 8 years, but they will have recouped their money long before then. Great investment.

They could go on a 8 peat

Yep. They suck.

Only Lebron nuthuggers are "second guessing" us. Most of the country is ripping LeBron to shreds for being a pussy.

According to the records no crime was committed because she dropped the charges.

Champion AC is a Spurs Sponsor. AT&T pays no more for that building name than American Airlines pays for the Heat's arena.

Bingo!! And it was a sunk costs years ago when SBC wanted to name the building so that their then-compe or, AT&T, wouldn't get the naming rights.

When SBC bought AT&T and took their name, the name of the arena was changed as well. They don't own the building.
