So when they are playing regular season games IN AUSTIN for the past couple of seasons simply to see how they are supported and they are asking full time team employees if they would be willing to relocate if necessary…… I guess, yeah…..you guys know what you’re talking about, I have no clue.
Thanks for the intell. Whatever you are comfortable and confident in repeating, thank you. Insider stuff always a good thing, here. If the Spurs do build in or near Austin, is the San Antonio part (name) an issue to the team? Fans? Rivalries, locally?
No clue. Hey this was told to me over the past 18 months or so by Spurs employees. I don’t follow their situation, but a couple on here say they are building a new arena in SA. Maybe they chose to stay. Just saying it was very close to happening. Also, the Spurs arena is REALLY nice, other than it being in the middle of nowhere, I don’t know why they need a new one.
Found this, and others like it, but could all fall apart. https://news4sanantonio.com/news/lo...-term-sheet-local-project-marvel-sports-alamo
If San Antonio is doing this Portland may have to as well... That's about the same timeframe as the Rose Garden...
Ok 18 months is a lot different than the last 18 hours. Spurs and San Antonio have agreements in developing a 4 billion area including a new arena this week. Id imagine part of the bargaining in recent months might have been threats to move to Austin. Austin is 70min away though. If the Blazers moved to Salem would it be a crippling event to Oregon?
