Watching a Spurs game in the SBC Center is an absolute must for any avid sports fan. The arena gets absolutely, crazy, incredibly, unreal loud. Watching them at their best (with Duncan, Parker, Ginobli, and Horry) makes it that much better.
If you go, pay attention to the following details closely:
--Prepare to pay big bucks--
Tickets for Spurs games are almost always sold out, and you'll more than likely have to deal with a scalper. So, to make it easier on your budget, go to a game that isn't as hotly contested; look for a team the Spurs are sure to kill.
--Dealing with scalpers--
If you are planning on dealing with a scalper and paying the big bucks, you might as well go to a good one. On Coliseum Rd., just down from the SBC, there is a small white building that sells tickets. It's on the opposite side of the road of the arena. Nonetheless, it's the absolute best place to go. They have good seats, decent prices (compared to others), and all the beer you can drink before the game. Just go there an hour or two early, chill in the lounge area, and drink it up.

NOTE: After attending the 03/18/2005 game of the Spurs vs. Bobcats, this is the tackiest design for a professional sports arena I've ever seen. As far as I'm concerned, they should've stayed at the Alamodome.
This is the new home of the San Antonio Spurs (they use to play in the Alamodome) and the Silver Stars. Other events and shows are also held here including livestock and rodeo shows, and music concerts.
Equipment: As with any major entertainment event, bring money.
