Surprise! San Antonio is a sports town! If you love the NBA, catch the San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center (go Spurs!).
Baseball lovers will be delighted to take in a game in an intimate yet well-appointed ballpark, where most seats offer an excellent view of the players. The San Antonio Missions are a Double-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. The Missions sometimes play promotional events under the name of the “Flying Chanclas.” a name to honor the matriarch of the Latino family, the Abuelita. The Missions play at Nelson Wolff Stadium, about a 15-minute drive from downtown. Eat a flaming hot Cheetos dog and snag a picture with the Missions’ friendly mascot, Ballapeno the Jalapeno.
