RACK!!!!
One, I don't try to imitate Mouse.
2, it's pretty senseless to complain about it when you can just block me.
They pay ASCAP a fee every year, so they can use any song they want in-game. Some of you may notice that the only fresh music you hear is when the guys come out of the tunnel. That seems to rotate more frequently.
These are all great ideas and feedback, everyone!
How about a night where they give everybody free air-horns. That would make the arena the loudest in the NBA.
As long as they passed out earplugs at the same time.
No wonder why no one likes the Spurs....
Kelly blows, the music they play is for flamers, and they don't give out black T's.
I think the whole uniform color t-shirts would look especially good in AT&T if they used black, that would set it apart from all the others. It would be sick.
Last year they gave out these little "clickers" that made it sound like the arena was full of crickets. WTF
damn exstatic is becoming a cranky old fart.
Well then I'd suggest different fresh music.
My suggestion:

the Spurs could take some notes from the Virginia Tech Hokies
You may not like it... but you can't argue with results. Steve Kerr once even wrote about why this ploy wasn't used more in NBA arenas.
You are of course a Mavs fan, what would you know.

We definitely need more Metallica! The main problem is that the people who can afford the lower level tix are not all true Spurs fans. Prices are too high in the lower level. Also, there needs to be traditions... Standing up for the entire 4th quarter. I like idea of special cheers for specific players. We need it to be like unbelievably rabid at the ATT especially for the playoffs. The Baseline Bums should do more like they used to at the Hemisphere... maybe they need to move them closer to the court. We need to see more faces painted and black-outs! We need to see non-stop noise. No one fears the ATT because we do not put the fear in the other teams. It is time for our fans to step up!
I say the fans should start throwing batteries, etc. at the opposing players...
That'll show them that we're hardcore.
becoming?
Fans standing up until the Spurs score their first basket.
Fans standing up the last two minutes of each quarter.
Handout black t-shirts at the door during the playoffs.
Concession stands accepting credit/debit cards.
Move the towel holders in the bathroom to be close to the sink instead of around the corner (yes, I realize they forgot to put them in at first and added them at the last minute)
Better giveaways during the game - i.e. freethrow contest to win a pair of floor seats to the next game, drop balloons or envelopes from the ceiling after the game and have one of them contain a pair of floor seats to the next game, no more toy scramble
Big Kev take over Stan Kelly's job
Have someone who is rowdy and wild do Big Kev's job - Big Kev is obviously just trying to get a PA/Broadcasting job and plays up his voice too much
Move the Baseline Bums lower or ins ute rowdy rows as you described - try to get younger people interested in joining the bums
Any of those lower level seats that are always "set aside" need to be released right before the game to whoever wants to buy them
Handout numbered tickets at the door, pull 25 numbers during the game, those 25 people can come get an autograph and shake the hand of a designated player after each game
Oh and as for the music ... I don't really care about it
Regarding t-shirts, I've seen some people post that all the Spurs have to do is get someone to sponsor the t-shirts and then they'll magically appear. I don't believe that is the case because I read somewhere the Chris Cohan (owner of the Warriors) has to pay out of pocket for each t-shirt night. And if you can't find a sponsor in Oakland/San Fran, you aren't going to find a sponsor in San Antonio.
Which means Holt would have to s out some money to make it happen.
I really Kori's ideas, as well as Phyzik's idea about reserving the 'ring of rowdies' for the fans showing the most spirit/cheering the loudest.
I would endorse those.
As for prizes, because I've not seen what is being offered, I might throw out these ideas - at the first game of the season, do a raffle or contest for 2 free season tickets on the lower level. Same thing for season tix on the last game of the regular season.
Last night when the Spurs were about to win, they played Halftime (stand up and get crunk) by the Ying Yang Twins. They did something right, the beginning of the song is a perfect theme for that moment.
Hire me as an assistant to the marketing director- don't want to give away all my ideas for free.
They play that at tip-off & the last few seconds of every (home) game the Spurs are about to win. I like that choice of song, too.
You really think the rich assholes who wear LIME GREEN to games are going to put on a baggy black shirt?
Well, Eva wore black ... so I guess she's not an asshole.
I still don't get why people won't cooperate with a black-out. I can't imagine ANYONE that doesn't have one s ch of black clothing. And you can get a cheap black Spurs tshirt at HEB or Academy for like $10.
*shrugs*
4 words: Official Spurs Fan Club.
Seriously, when it comes to organized cheering you guys are at least 20 years behind Europe. Jumbotron? Come on. Real fans don't need cue cards.
