Audience record in the NBA, with Manu Ginóbili included, in the duel between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors

san antonio spursthe team in which he shined and won four championship rings Emmanuel Ginobili (2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014), set a new record in NBA. Is that in this Friday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors, the Texan franchise celebrated its 50th anniversary and celebrated it by reaching the largest capacity in history for the best professional basketball leagues in the world.

Yes, 63,592 people were present at the Alamodome, including the great Manu Ginóbili, and this impressive number of spectators allowed us to break the historical sales record held by the Atlanta Hawks, who sold 62,046 tickets in the game played against the Chicago Bulls at the Georgia Dome.

This is unprecedented in the NBA, where only four point games have had crowds of 50,000 or more.

Two were at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan: The Bad Boys’ version of the Detroit Pistons tied 52,745 against Philadelphia on February 14, 1987, and then tied 61,983 against Boston on January 29, 1987. The dance broke it all at the Georgia Dome.

Of course, there was an All-Star Game, the 2010 edition, in which 108,713 people gathered to watch the duel which was held at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, the usual venue where the NFL franchise plays.

To achieve this record, the Spurs left their post at the AT&T Center for one night and returned to the Alamodome, where they played between 1993 and 2002 and where they played the campaign in which they won their first championship for hand of David Robinson and Tim Duncan, then known as the Twin Towers.

Precisely Alamodome’s record NBA attendance was 39,554 on June 18, 1999 when New York visited San Antonio in Game 2 of the NBA Finals which the Texans won.
