SAN ANTONIO — Need to get away from the San Antonio city life? How about just a quick getaway while still representing your San Antonio Spurs fandom?
Then look no further than South Padre Island.
The Spurs and South Padre Island have teamed up making it the official island escape for the Spurs. According to the "Island Vibes," the official newsletter of South Padre Island, the marketing to team up with the Spurs was set at $283,000.
The partnership will help bring awareness to the Spurs, the island and the city of San Antonio.
"We have the ability to redefine our destination with the development of this convention center and to rethink our marketing plans," said Blake Henry, the South Padre Island Convention and Visitor Bureau’s chief executive officer to Valley Business Report.
"Going through this process and having a big name like the San Antonio Spurs is going to help us get more events."
Also, there will be South Padre Island promotional signage throughout the Frost Bank Center, and an official Spring Break 2024 contest is already underway.
"Our destination deserves grand recognition like we’re getting with the San Antonio Spurs," he said. "I can’t think of a better partnership than the Spurs."
