| Girl Scout Night with the Spurs -- March 11 | |
The San Antonio Spurs want to personally thank you for your participation in Girl Scouts. We have partnered for many years in organizing Girl Scout Nights and are excited and thrilled to be a part of this event again in 2011...and would like to invite you back.
This year's Girl Scout Night will take place on Friday, March 11. Bring your troop/group/family out to the game and for every group order more than 10 you will be invited to attend our pregame Courtside Experience! Keep in mind, there are limited spots available to enjoy watching the Spurs shoot around prior to the game (Courtside Experience) and spots will fill up quickly, so don't delay!
Don't miss out on these special opportunities: The Spurs strongly urge orders more than 10 be turned in as early as possible to guarantee your troop/group/family to enjoy the special Courtside Experience. Plus, all groups more than 10 will be entered into a drawing to participate in the Fan Tunnel and have a chance to high-five the Spurs team as they enter the court!
Get your tickets today! Questions? Contact Joe Reyes at 210-444-5725.
