It was a fun experience from a nostalgia perspective, but holy fuck now I remember why I hated that place so much. As previously mentioned, the lines for food and merchandise were unbearable. We walked into the dome around 5pm and the lines for everything were at least 50+ people deep on the bottom level. We were in the club level, so we went up there and the lines were just as bad. I then made the decision to get food and gear during the first quarter thinking the lines would be shorter. Wrong. I went downstairs with 5 min left in the 1st quarter to get a couple t-shirts, food, and a couple cocktails and came back at fucking halftime. The only saving grace were the beer guys selling shitty domestics so I unfortunately drank more Bud Light than I have in the past 20 years.
Also, I expected them to honor past players and really play up the history of the dome better than they did. I mean, David Robinson, the greatest MFer to ever play in the dome, only came out between quarters to announce the attendance. That's the best we can do to honor one of our greatest players of all time? I swear the game day experience and marketing team for the Spurs are the worst in the league. Maybe it's just a small market thing, but go to any other game in any other city and you'll see the difference. This was their time to shine, with the nation's eye balls on our little city and I think we just shit the bed with the experience imo.
I'm not bitter and I did enjoy myself, but I guess I was just expecting more. But maybe that's just pinche puro San Antonio.
