The San Antonio Spurs marked a major milestone this week as the team prepares to return to the Alamodome for the first time since 2002.
The Spurs announced more than 50,000 tickets have been sold for their Jan. 13 game against the Golden State Warriors.
This is the most tickets ever sold for a single Spurs game, and it is set to be the fourth time in NBA history that a crowd surpasses more than 50,000 fans.
In a statement, RC Buford, CEO for Spurs Sport and Entertainment, said the organization is grateful for the milestone.
"Our fans are putting us on the map to break the NBA attendance record in what is already [a] historic season celebrating our 50th anniversary," Buford said.
The Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls set the record in 1998 with 62,046 people in the crowd.
To celebrate ticket sales, the Spurs will offer a limited batch of 50 lower-level tickets for $50 each.
Single game tickets for the Spurs 50th anniversary celebration at the Alamdome are available at Spurs.com or on Ticketmaster.
