Wembanyama Leads Spurs Launching New Soccer-Style Supporters Section

The San Antonio Spurs, led by star Victor Wembanyama, are introducing an innovative 'supporter's section' for the 2025-26 NBA season, inspired by the passionate fan atmospheres Wembanyama witnessed in European soccer and basketball. This dedicated section will feature nonstop chants, drums, flags, and high-energy fan participation to create a louder home environment aimed at boosting the team's performance, especially in crucial moments. Fans selected for the section must commit to attending at least 75% of home games and participate actively in chants and rituals, with a membership fee of $999 that includes special privileges like discounts and surprise guest meet-and-greets. The section will be located in section 114 of the Frost Bank Center, behind the basket on the visitor's side, modeled similarly to the LA Clippers' 'The Wall.' Wembanyama believes this group, if fully energized, will provide the Spurs with an extra competitive edge during their 41 home games and potentially contribute to winning more games. The Spurs hope this initiative, along with key offseason moves like drafting Dylan Harper and re-signing De'Aaron Fox, will help them compete for playoff success after several years.
