Wembanyama Spurs Up New Fan Section with Passion and Energy
Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are rolling out a brand-new idea that’s all about turning home games into a louder, more energetic, and more intimidating environment for visiting teams. The rookie sensation, who has already captured the spotlight in the NBA, is now bringing a touch of European sports culture to San Antonio. Inspired by what he has witnessed in soccer and basketball arenas overseas, Wembanyama is pushing for the creation of a dedicated Supporters Section—a superfan group that will live and breathe Spurs basketball from the stands.
The first step happens this Sunday, when the Spurs will host official tryouts for fans who want to be part of this high-energy crew. Yes, actual tryouts—because not just anyone can join. The team is looking for people who can commit to attending at least 75 percent of home games this season and who are ready to participate in chants, rituals, and nonstop cheering. The expectation is clear: this group won’t just watch the game, they’ll fuel it.

To be part of this exclusive club, fans will need to pay a $999 membership fee. That price tag comes with perks, though, like discounts and even surprise opportunities to meet special guests. More importantly, it guarantees a seat in Section 114 at the Frost Bank Center, where the Supporters Section will officially be based. That spot is being envisioned as the heart of the noise, with chants, drums, flags, and unrelenting passion all game long.
Wembanyama himself will be present at Sunday’s tryouts, watching closely to see who fits the bill for this new experiment. He has already made it clear that he sees the group as more than just hype. In his words, having this section could directly impact results on the court. Forty-one regular season home games mean forty-one chances, he explained, for this fan section to push in the fourth quarter and give the Spurs that extra burst of energy to close out games.
Other NBA teams have already explored similar setups. The Los Angeles Clippers, for instance, launched “The Wall” last year at their new arena, filling it with fans who do everything they can to distract opponents and lift their team. Now, the Spurs are stepping into that same lane, but with Wembanyama’s vision leading the way.
If the Supporters Section lives up to its potential, it could turn San Antonio into one of the toughest places to play in the league. More than that, it shows that Wembanyama isn’t just focused on what happens on the court—he’s thinking about culture, community, and how the atmosphere around the game can change the outcome of it. For Spurs fans, it’s a chance to not just cheer from the sidelines, but to become part of the team’s identity.
