It’s been a while since the San Antonio Spurs made a trip down to Mexico City, but a few seasons back it started to look like this was going to be an annual thing.
Sean Elliott will tell you that the elevation in Mexico City (7349 feet) is much higher than Denver (5279 feet, hence the “Mile High” reference), and that makes playing even tougher.
Considering San Antonio’s ties to Mexican heritage and culture, having the Spurs make an appearance in Mexico’s capital city is great for the international appeal of the NBA.
Would you like to attend this season’s Spurs game in Mexico City on December 17th as they take on the Miami Heat?
