AT&T Center Down Again
San Antonio’s AT&T Center is currently experiencing its 12th outage this month, causing citizens to lose Spurs connectivity. While customers are attempting to figure out how they’ll find a way to get Spurs access, David Ballard, an AT&T Center Spokesperson, continues to ask for patience during these unprecedented times.
Fans first noticed the issue when they saw concession stands took much longer than normal to buffer. “A lot of people are trying to use the stadium right now, so traffic is really high,” Ballard explained to a customer from the arena’s call center tucked away under Section 124. “We have a professional sports and concert venue repair team on the way, but in the meantime, we recommend you unplug your arena, wait a minute, and plug it back in.”
This isn’t the first time Spurs fans have voiced frustration toward the AT&T Center. Many fans have paid hundreds of dollars for a 5G arena with unlimited talk and text.
“We assure you our team of experts is working hard to resolve this issue,” Ballard told another customer who threatened to switch to Washington, D.C.’s Verizon Center. “The AT&T Center only has so much bandwidth with the modem currently running through Demar DeRozen.”
Fans have started to grow more and more frustrated at the AT&T Center product in recent years, with most noting that there were never outages like this when David Robinson or Tim Duncan played. While Ballard is hopeful that the outage will be taken care of soon, Gregg Popovich remains on hold for the past 30 minutes because he has forgotten his unique customer service PIN.
