Open Thread: Victor Wembanyama’s launching a new Spurs Fan Supporter Section

Victor Wembanyama has announced the creation of a new "Fan Supporter’s Section" for San Antonio Spurs home games, inspired by European soccer fan culture. According to a Spurs press release, this was his idea, and he will lead the group, which will be officially named by its members in the future.

Tryouts for the section will be held on Sunday, September 14, from 7 to 9 a.m. at the Frost Bank Center, with Wembanyama making a special appearance. Registration is required in advance via Spurs.com/Supporter, and participants are advised to review FAQs outlining physical and financial expectations for members.

The section aims to bring high energy, passion, and pride to home games, described as a dedicated and relentless crew of fans. It is promoted as more than just a seating area—it is framed as a movement to amplify fan support throughout the season.
