In time, there’ll be a park for the community to enjoy, a splash pad, a restaurant, a big outdoor screen where people can come watch movies or games. Buford and Cullen get just as excited when they look out the windows, away from the court, and point to what is now just piles of dirt and rocks. There’ll be bar in a long reception area behind those windows. There will be a couple of large viewing windows in what will be called the Spurs Club over the practice court. “It became clear that the cost of making what we need to happen here was really making this cost effective to build someplace else,” Buford said as he gave a tour of the site, wearing a hard hat that bears his name. And foundationally, what this space is built on, is the Pound the Rock quote.” “So the players ascend up the stairs, they’ll start seeing the sight lines on the court and then they’ll see the championship banners. “We really tried to have this idea and this concept of a sense of arrival,” said Phil Cullen, the senior director of basketball operations and organizational development for the Spurs - and the project manager for the facility. And Spurs players, from the minute they park their cars inside the underground garage, will get reminders of the culture. He gave Buford two mandates for the new facility: take care of the people, and protect the culture. Popovich has yet to be inside the new complex, which is still very much a construction zone but will be ready for training camp in a little more than two months. There is no detail that’s overlooked the practice court area in the new facility has basically the same exact dimensions and layout as the team’s current one - even the height, just over 26 feet, is the same, to try and mimic the same acoustics for when coach Gregg Popovich barks out things during workouts - and there’s even a reason why the new pizza oven near the team dining area is set up where it is. It’s a natural pivot for Buford he was the architect of Spurs’ teams, and now he’s basically an architect of the Spurs’ next building. It’s not about being better or worse than anybody.” “We’re going to build this for our needs and to have the best environment we can to help develop the Spurs’ culture. “We’re not trying to build this to be the best in the NBA,” said Buford, the Spurs’ CEO and part of all five of the franchise’s championship runs. It’s not just a practice gym with a big locker room and some toys it’s going to be part of what the team envisions as a “global center for excellence in human and athletic performance” - not to mention a massive commitment to the city of San Antonio. It’s called The Rock at La Cantera, which will host the Spurs’ soon-to-be-ready new facility as part of what will be a $500 million complex by the time all the building at the site is completed. 1 overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama’s rookie season - are about to get a new practice home, one that might be among the most advanced in the world. ![]() The San Antonio Spurs - just in time for No. ![]()
