Ticket & Access Perks

Lounge access, premium entrances, and which tickets unlock extras.

  • SuperBox tickets (when available from STH resellers on r/nbaspurs or the secondary market) include free food, beer, and wine, early VIP entry, and Frost Club access - the best per-dollar experience in the building.
  • The Frost Club (sections 101–118, lower bowl) includes access to the Frost Club Lounge - all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages in a dedicated space behind the lower bowl.
  • Upper bowl sections 301–324 offer the best budget access; Frost Bank Center's 18,418-seat capacity keeps all sections close to the action, and the Spurs' well-maintained facilities make this one of the more comfortable budget-seat experiences in the NBA.

Entry & Logistics

Fastest gates, bag policy, and when to arrive.

  • The main entrance is on E. Commerce Street (east side). Gate 1 (east, E. Commerce) is the primary entrance; Gate 4 (west, Alamodome side) is faster for sections 201–212 and recommended for fans arriving from the Broadway corridor.
  • Bag policy: clear bags maximum 12"×6"×12"; small non-clear clutch purses up to 4.5"×6.5" permitted. The Spurs are among the most family-oriented fanbases in the NBA - arrive with children with extra time for security.
  • Arrive 40 minutes before tip; San Antonio is car-dependent and surface lots surrounding the arena are extensive, but they fill for sellout games. VIA Metropolitan Transit buses serve the arena corridor.
🚇

Parking & Transit

Where to park, transit options, and postgame exit tips.

  • Official Spurs parking lots (A through F surrounding the arena) are $15–$25 depending on proximity; Lot A (adjacent, E. Commerce Street) is $25 and the closest. Pre-purchase via the Spurs app guarantees entry.
  • St. Paul Square (directly adjacent) has free parking after 6pm on game nights - combine with a pre-game dinner at the square's restaurants for the most efficient arrival.
  • VIA Metropolitan Transit has limited direct service to the arena; San Antonio is primarily car-dependent. Rideshare pickup is on E. Cesar Chavez Blvd (south side) - walk south one block to reduce post-game wait times.

Insider Tips

Pro fan knowledge you won't find on the official site.

  • Gregg Popovich has been Spurs head coach since 1996 - 28+ years of culture, five championships, and a coaching tree that now spans the entire league. Even during the rebuilding era, the organization's professionalism is palpable at games.
  • Mi Tierra Café and Bakery (218 Produce Row, Market Square) is open 24 hours and has served San Antonio since 1941 - a legendary institution where you'll encounter locals at every hour. A 10-minute rideshare from the arena.
  • St. Paul Square (directly adjacent to the arena's east side) is a preserved 19th-century neighborhood with restaurants and live music venues - it's the best pre-game option in the immediate vicinity and has free parking on game nights.
