A long time Spurs season ticket holder gave me an autographed picture of Tim Duncan when he first arrived in San Antonio! Pretty cool!
There were some fans who would find me first before they got seated.
Spurs fans also get all decked out and wear everything Spurs. Whether it be makeup, flags, shirts, buttons, pants, shoes, hats, posters, necklaces, rings, or socks, they know how to show spirit!
One fan wanted me to take them to the visiting locker room so they could meet Shaquille O’Neal! That was actually a common request from fans; well not to meet Shaq but to get player autographs!
After one particular game ended, I was leaving and was almost at the door when a drunk female fan stopped me and starting flirting with me. She was very cute so I played along but also noticed her husband or boyfriend standing near us. I just laughed and told him to have a nice evening and get her home!
As an employee with a Spurs ID, fans expect you to know everything about everything! I had to direct fans to concession stands, restrooms, elevators, and there seat.
The Spurs played in the Alamodome and the Dome is a “a football stadium.” For basketball games, only half of the Dome is used and there is a blue curtain that separates it. In front of that blue curtain are lots of of temporary seats. I saw a fan who looked lost on the non basketball side of the Dome; he was looking for a particular section. I told him that section is for football games but for basketball games it is in front of that blue curtain.
Sometimes, I got lost just people watching at the games. Especially the female fans. I mean, they would wear such revealing clothes that it was almost impossible not to notice them. They probably wanted the attention and liked it. One female fan I saw had a tattoo that went from the back of her neck to the tip of her ass.
It made me feel really good when a fan would says thanks, smile, or shake my hand. That is what I miss about my experience with the Spurs.
