Tipoff Week

Tipoff Week kicks off today, Tuesday, October 13, in San Antonio, and it's built around the Spurs Culinary Residency Program, presented by Coca-Cola. The whole thing is a lead-up to the 2026-27 season, and the focus is on the city's food scene rather than the court.

The program gives local restaurants a spot to showcase their signature dishes at the arena, so instead of the usual concession fare, you'll find plates from around town. It's a good way to see what different spots are doing without having to hit a dozen different neighborhoods in one night. If you're already planning to be downtown for the start of the season, it's an easy add-on.

Beyond the arena, you can tour the participating restaurants throughout the week. If you drop by on a Tuesday, there are discounts and free items to mark the start of the Spurs season, which is a nice perk if you're making the trip. It's a good excuse to check out a few places you've been meaning to try, especially if you're looking for a reason to get out and eat around the city this week.
