there is one "m" in "coming"
o All,
First of all, yes, I am a Hornets fan, and no, I am not here to make trouble. I am planning to make the trip there to see either Game 3 or 4 in S.A. I am assuming Games 3 and 4 will be Fri/Sun, but don't quote me on that. If that ends up being the case, I will probably come in for the Sunday game.
Now my question to you all is, other than attending the game, what do you most recommend to an out of towner visiting your city for the 1st time? I would greatly appreciate all of the input as it would help me out in my planning.
By the way, I look forward to a very compe ive series with no injuries. Personally, i would have rather played the Suns but we have to beat the best before we can be the best. May the best team win!!

I'll ask the same question, as I'm considering (in fact, am really close to confirming) going to NOLA for Game 1.
I was going to recommend that all Hornets fans coming to San Antonio (or comming, whatever) be sure to get to the Alamodome early for the games!!
Well the mulch fire is out, so I don't have any suggestions.
The zoo? The Alamo (you have to go AT LEAST 427 times)?
The best team is the Spurs.
If you see a fat drunk white guy there's a good chance I'm related to him. Those Cajun Catholics breed faster than the nutria there. That reminds me: watch out for the nutria.
On a more serious note, check out the D-Day Museum. It's absolutely awesome, but make sure you have a few hours to devote. It's massive.
hey...what's wrong with cajun Catholics?
The best parts of SA to visit are the West, East, and South sides.
This one's gonna be a troll in 5, 4, 3.....
Santa?
hahahahahahahahahaha
Yes...and I hear the neighborhood around the AT&T Center is a lot of fun after dark...

Reminds me of a story from a coworker from Louisiana. I forget what town she's from, but it's a small, swampy one. One summer the nutria got really bad. Pets were disapearing and like that, and those things are big enough to take down a small child if they really want to. So the local, parish, and state government were taking too damn long to do much of anything about this problem, so one Sunday after church some of the men started talking about taking care of it themselves and pretty soon had damn near every able bodied male on board. The next weekend they grabbed their guns, all the ammo they could carry, and spent two days blasting every one of the bas s they saw. And from that came enough BBQ to feed an army.
is that the best you could come up with? really??
LOL. Nope
Wow smack with food. Dont get me started on my Armadillo recepies.LOL.
Seriously What do you guys have Tex-Mex/ Dont you get really tired of that stuff I know I do. Do You really want to start smack over food with New Orleans? Probably the best Chefs on this side of the big pond cook here.
San Antonio is a great city. The riverwalk is fun, nice places to eat. There is a large Mercado next to it, with alright Mexican stuff. The Alamo is in the same area but may not be as impressive as it sounded in History class.
I highly reccomend driving up 35 to Schlitterbahn, which is by far the worlds best waterpark.
Alternatley, fans coming here, are just in time for Jazz fest, plus the touristy areas are all cleaned up and ready for your money.
I am from Austin and until 2003 I was a diehard spurs fan, When we got a team I got behind it. I don't hat the spurs and I love the city, even made every Saints game there.
Geaux Hornets!!
Check out Hemisphair Park and the Tower of the Americas, Sea World is really cool. Fiesta Texas is also a good place to go. I also recomend the Mission Trail if you are bringing your own car.
Hope you enjoy San Anotnio, and sorry in advance for bouncing your team in 6
Do not drive to the game, traffic is horrible and parking is expensive. There is a free shuttle to the game from the Pearl Brewery, that leaves every 15 mins starting 1 hr prior to tip off.
