San Antonio, this is your moment. The San Antonio Spurs are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2019. If you’re a senior fan in this city, there is absolutely no reason you should miss a single minute of it. Whether you’re watching from your living room or walking through the doors of Frost Bank Center yourself, this playoff run belongs to you just as much as it belongs to anyone.
Let’s make sure you know exactly how to enjoy it.
How the San Antonio Spurs Got to the Playoffs Season
This isn’t just a good Spurs team. This is one of the most exciting teams in franchise history. The Spurs finished the 2025–26 regular season with a 62–20 record, their best in years, and earned the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Led by the extraordinary Victor Wembanyama (a 7’3″ generational talent who can block shots, shoot threes, and do things no player his size has ever done), plus All-Star De’Aaron Fox and Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, this roster is genuinely fun to watch.
For longtime San Antonio Spurs playoff fans who remember the Tim Duncan championship years, the good news is this: the electricity is back. The city is buzzing. And the Spurs are going deep.

Here’s Your Senior-Friendly Guide to Frost Bank Center
Here’s the best news for San Antonio Spurs playoff fans with mobility concerns. Frost Bank Center is one of the most accessible arenas in the NBA. Don’t let a cane, a walker, or a wheelchair stop you from being there in person.
Parking
The arena has approximately 7,000 onsite parking spaces, with accessible ADA parking available in Lots 1–4 and Lot 6, located near accessible arena entrances. Spots are first-come, first-served, so arrive early (at least 60-75 minutes before tip-off). You’ll need your ADA placard and a matching driver’s license. Parking typically runs around $15-$20; pre-purchasing online through Ticketmaster is highly recommended to save time. If driving yourself feels like too much, Taxi, Uber or Lyft drop-off is available in Lot 5. Just arrange your pickup time in advance, as post-game rideshare can get busy.
Getting Inside
All main entrances are ADA-compliant. Elevators are located at all major entry points and reach every seating level, no stairs required. Escalators are also available on the North and South concourses. If you need help, arena staff are stationed throughout and are known for their friendliness and accommodation.
Wheelchair Seating and Companion Seats
Wheelchair-accessible seating is available on every level of Frost Bank Center. When purchasing tickets, simply select accessible seating options and a companion seat can be purchased alongside yours. If you need a wheelchair just to get to your seat, courtesy wheelchairs are available at no charge. Just ask a staff member at Guest Services.
Restrooms and Comfort
Restrooms on every level meet full ADA standards. There are also private companion restrooms on every level for guests who need assistance. A quiet sensory room with noise-canceling headphones is available through Guest Services (Section 101) if the crowd noise becomes overwhelming, a thoughtful feature for anyone with hearing sensitivity.
