I mean, if you really want to know about something, it’s only natural that you should go straight to the source—right? While this may only be an option for home games (save occasional playoff watch parties), what an option it is! When you’ve got one of the best teams in the history of all of sports playing in your town on a consistent basis, you have got to find a way to get off your ass and to the arena. With ever-growing (and improving) drinking and dining options, a budding collection of Spurs-worshipping artwork, and all the usual fan-centric hoopla, the experience of a home Spurs game has never been better. The Spurs have also, it must be said, been doing a great job of offering new promotions that make the experience accessible to more and more San Antonians. Plus, how could you possibly resist the chance to hurl insults at, say, Steph Curry in person?
