Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
The Spurs franchise began in 1967 as the Dallas Chaparrals, a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA). In 1973, the franchise relocated to San Antonio and was renamed the San Antonio Spurs, moving into HemisFair Arena. In 1976, the Spurs were one of four ABA teams—alongside the Pacers, Nets, and Nuggets—absorbed into the NBA when the two leagues merged. The Spurs played at HemisFair Arena from 1973 to 1993, then moved to the cavernous Alamodome for nine seasons (1993–2002), including their first NBA championship season in 1998–99. In 2002, the Spurs opened a new arena on San Antonio's east side as the SBC Center. That building was renamed the AT&T Center in 2006 after AT&T acquired SBC Communications, then renamed Frost Bank Center in August 2023 when Frost Bank became the new naming-rights partner. The arena itself has not moved—only its sponsor name has changed twice.
- Former homes: HemisFair Arena (1973–1993) and the Alamodome (1993–2002) — two different downtown San Antonio buildings, both distinct from the current arena
- Current home: Frost Bank Center (2002–present) — opened 2002 as the SBC Center, renamed AT&T Center (2006–2023) and Frost Bank Center (2023–present)
Ticket Timeline's game data covers Spurs home arenas from the current building's 2002 opening, with gaps where source rows do not connect continuously; the franchise's full history dates back to 1967 as the Dallas Chaparrals.
If your ticket says SBC Center or AT&T Center, that's the same east-side San Antonio building under an earlier sponsor name—not a different arena from today's Frost Bank Center.
San Antonio Spurs play home games at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, TX, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in San Antonio time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former arena or an earlier name of the same building.
