Warriors-Spurs tops '98 Bulls-Hawks in list of most attended NBA regular-season games

The San Antonio Spurs went all out to commemorate the franchise's 50th anniversary by hosting the Golden State Warriors at the Alamodome, which was the team's home arena from 1993 to 2002.

San Antonio is 28th in attendance this season, drawing an average of 15,614, but Spurs fans showed up in droves for this game to celebrate reaching the half-century mark.

"The Alamodome was originally configured to accommodate 65,000 fans and it was adjusted due to the high demand for this historic event," the organization said in a release.

The official figure of 68,323 easily shatters the venue's previous record for an NBA game, which was 39,554 for Game 2 of the 1999 NBA Finals.
