The history of the San Antonio Spurs is forever intertwined with Arizona Wildcats basketball greats Sean Elliott and Steve Kerr, who led the Spurs to their first NBA championship in 1999.
On Friday, Elliott and Kerr were back in the Alamodome to partake in another historic milestone: setting the NBA’s all-time regular season attendance record.
More than 68,000 fans returned to the Spurs’ former home arena to set the league’s official attendance record and watch San Antonio take on Kerr’s Golden State Warriors. Elliott serves as a Spurs broadcast analyst.
The Spurs played at the Alamodome in honor of the franchise’s 50-year anniversary.
