AT&T Center guests can now enjoy “The Worst Bar-B-Q in Texas” from The Original Rudy’s “Country Store” & Bar-B-Q, which has opened its most central location in the Alamo City. Located at Section 121 in the Plaza Level of the AT&T Center, the newest Rudy’s Bar-B-Q will serve guests their famous legendary Texas barbecue at AT&T Center events, including Spurs, Rampage and Stars games. A ribbon cutting ceremony on Nov. 5 at 5 p.m. before the Spurs game vs. the Atlanta Hawks will mark the official grand opening of the concessionaire.

“We are excited about being an official sponsor of the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs for the 2014-15 season,” said Mike Barker, President of The Original Rudy’s Country Store & Bar-B-Q. “Opening our AT&T Center location is an exciting opportunity to introduce our bar-b-q to new guests as well as to our loyal guests while they attend events in the AT&T Center.

“Speaking as a representative of our 165 Rudy’s Team Members, we look forward to this next step in our 26 year history and are fully committed to providing all who visit our AT&T Center location with Rudy’s genuine hospitality and ‘The Worst Bar-B-Q in Texas.’ We hope we see you at one of the many events this year.”

The AT&T Center concession will serve Rudy’s famous signature items such as sweet cream corn, a twist on their tender brisket, smoked turkey and sausage with loaded nachos, sandwiches, and The Original Rudy’s world famous “Sause.” The Original Rudy’s first opened in 1989 in nearby Leon Springs, Texas and, over the last 25 years, has expanded to their Westover Hills and Selma locations.

“We strive to create the best possible fan experience at the AT&T Center and food options at the arena are a big part of that,” said Jeanne Garza, Spurs Sports & Entertainment Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships. “Rudy’s has been serving top-notch barbecue for more than 25 years and we are happy to have them join our family of partners, allowing fans to enjoy a tantalizing taste of Texas.”

Executives from Spurs Sports & Entertainment, The Original Rudy’s and the PM Group will be on hand for a ribbon cutting ceremony prior to Wednesday night’s Spurs game vs. the Atlanta Hawks to mark the official grand opening of the concession stand in Section 121. The Coyote and Silver Dancers will also be part of the ceremony and celebration. During the game, 10 lucky fans will win The Original Rudy’s “Welcome Neighbor” cards to be redeemed for complimentary barbecue at any of the three San Antonio-area Rudy’s locations. To be eligible, fans must make a purchase of $20 or more in Rudy’s concession food items located in Section 121.
