“The legacy of Selena goes far beyond music,” said Becky Kimbro, Spurs Sports & Entertainment vice president of strategic brand engagement. “She continues to inspire generations of fans to celebrate culture and connect with each other – both of which are central pillars of the Spurs experience

Selena Night will feature music from the Queen of Tejano and various Selena photo opportunities. At halftime, fans will compete in a Selena-themed “Name That Tune” game and a speed painter will create a painting that will be auctioned in support of Silver and Black Give Back and the Selena Foundation.

“Having the Spurs reach out with this amazing idea to honor Selena was exciting to say the least,” said Suzette Quintanilla, CEO of Q Productions. “I have been to Spurs games and have witnessed first-hand how Spurs fans get pumped up and love to sing along and dance when they hear our music. It just makes sense – it’s a Texas thing.”

Tickets to the Spurs Selena Night are available online.
