<< Celtics Spurs Hornets >> -------------------- March 11, 2005 SBC Center
Capacity: 18,500 Year opened: 2002 Events hosted: Spurs basketball (NBA), Rampage hockey (AHL), concerts, shows. Naming right: The Austin, Texas based telecommunications firm Southwestern Bell Communications reserved the right to name it after itself. Championships celebrated: Spurs 2005, Spurs 2003, Spurs 1999. Previous venue: HemisFair Arena (173-1993), Alamododome (1993-2002), SBC center (2002-present). Comments: Though the Alamodome was still a relatively new stadium, it was primarily a football arena and felt cavernous when transformed into a basketball stadium. Now with the dismantling of the Lakers, San Antonio might end up as the best NBA team of the decade, if their current success continues. Led by Tim Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs play some of the soundest basketball that shines in its substance, and also backed by the solid character of its players. -------------------- << Celtics Spurs Hornets >> Back to Arenas list © 2001, 2005 H o o p s C o r n e r . c o m, All rights reserved Terms Of Service Privacy policy Contact |
