being discussed by the San Antonio Spurs and the City of San Antonio, East Side residents and businesses have mixed opinions.
Sitting next to the Freeman Coliseum and AT&T Center, Ball Hoggs BBQ’s identity is clearly tied to the team. Spurs-themed art dons the walls, and the name itself evokes the game.He said the games help bring in customers, and he doesn’t want to see the team leave the stadium. However, he also acknowledges many people simply drive to and from the area without stopping to stay.
