The area is electric. I went to a game in March of 2013 vs the Clippers and the vibe was amazing.
How long were thinking of staying in San Antonio?
If you got 3-4 days then for things to do in San Antonio, go here to the Riverwalk -->

If you are going with a group of 4 people or more I recommend staying at the Drury Plaza Hotel on the Riverwalk -->
https://wwws.druryhotels.com/propertyov ... perty=0130. It holds up to 6 people in a room with 2 Queen beds and 2 TV's, separated by a room. You also get free breakfast, wifi and they have a kickoff from 5:30 pm to 7 pm every night where they serve food and give you 3 cocktails.
I also have stayed at the Omni la mansion del rio -->
