SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs are headed to the playoffs for the first time in years, and fans across the city are celebrating as postseason tickets go on sale this week.
At Burleson Beer Garden in San Antonio, V. Rodriguez said she was super excited.
“It’s been too many years that we haven’t participated or been a part of this,” Rodriguez said. “So I’m really happy for them and for the city.”
Another fan pointed to the team’s young star, saying, “We have Wembanyama — this guy is incredible.”
Some fans credited the organization’s long-standing culture even amid change on the sideline.
“Though Pops isn’t there, I think his presence has carried over that maturity that he instilled in them,” one fan said.
The optimism continued at Sanchez Ice House No. 2, where longtime supporter George said the team feels familiar.
“Pure San Antonio team,” George said. “I’ve seen them win in the Duncan, Ginóbili, and Tony Parker days, and this reminds me of that era back then.”
Carolina Cisnero, a bartender at Sanchez No. 2, was even more confident.
“I think they’re going to go all the way,” Cisnero said. “I’m hoping they go all the way, they’re up there.”
Cisnero added that Sanchez No. 2 will plan to air the playoff games, as will Burleson Beer Garden. The Burleson bar will play the games with sound as the Spurs handle the playoffs.
Tickets went on sale Wednesday for season ticket holders and will go on sale for the general public at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 2.
Spurs playoff tickets for the general public will only be available online, not in person, and purchasers must live within 150 miles of Frost Bank Center. Each buyer is limited to a maximum of four tickets.
