When I first joined Pounding The Rock, I wrote about my earliest experiences with the Spurs. My childhood was peppered with trips to HemisFair Arena during the second decade of the San Antonio Spurs.
HemisFair was a sight to behold, and Episode 25 of the Spurs docuseries The Ring of the Rowel does a wonderful job of raising those memories back into focus.
There’s a wonderful clip of Red McCombs talking about how the city supported the use of the space as well as the expansion of the structure itself.
