根据 BonusFinder 的数据，圣安东尼奥在 2026 年季后赛城市中排名第 7，因其高性价比、河滨步道 (River Walk) 的夜生活以及适合家庭游玩的景点而脱颖而出。
圣安东尼奥的季后赛活力不仅局限于球馆内——它正将这座城市转变为季后赛期间最令人兴奋（且负担得起）的目的地之一。
BonusFinder 的一项新研究将圣安东尼奥评为 2026 年第七大最令人兴奋的季后赛城市。随着马刺队继续其季后赛征程，该研究强调了其高性价比、丰富的夜生活和适合家庭游玩的景点。
该分析调查了 27 个 NBA 和 NHL 季后赛城市，利用 TripAdvisor 的数据对酒店、酒吧、娱乐和景点等七个类别进行评分。圣安东尼奥获得了 14.27 分（总分 70 分），仅次于旧金山的 14.35 分，是前十名中差距最小的城市之一。
研究人员发现，圣安东尼奥在性价比方面表现最为突出。该市列出了 127 家经济型酒店，仅次于休斯顿，且多于纽约、洛杉矶和迈阿密等大市场。
娱乐选择也发挥了作用，这里拥有 120 家酒吧和俱乐部，其中许多聚集在圣安东尼奥河滨步道 (San Antonio River Walk) 沿线，此外还有 25 家运动酒吧和 10 个游乐园，包括德州六旗游乐园 (Six Flags Fiesta Texas) 和圣安东尼奥海洋世界 (SeaWorld San Antonio)。
“圣安东尼奥是季后赛城市中最被低估的城市之一。它排在第六名之外，与旧金山的差距不到 0.1 分，但它为远道而来的球迷提供的服务显而易见：极高的性价比、河滨步道上真正的娱乐区，以及大多数排名相当的城市无法比拟的家庭景点。对于预算有限的球迷来说，除了休斯顿，这里是最具吸引力的选择，”BonusFinder 资深博彩新闻编辑卢西亚诺·帕萨万蒂 (Luciano Passavanti) 表示。
尽管如此，研究也指出了对部分游客的限制：德克萨斯州不允许商业赌场博彩，且全州范围内体育博彩仍属非法，这意味着圣安东尼奥缺乏赌场或球馆内的体育博彩站。
排名如何计算
BonusFinder 表示，他们分析了 2026 年所有 27 个 NBA 和 NHL 季后赛城市的 TripAdvisor 列表，记录了七个类别的场馆数量：经济型酒店、运动酒吧、酒吧和俱乐部、赌场、游乐园、水上乐园以及肾上腺素或极限运动体验。
每个类别都使用最小-最大标准化 (min-max normalization) 按 0-10 分进行评分，列表数量最多的城市获得 10 分。这些类别得分随后汇总，总分为 70 分。数据收集于 2026 年 4 月。
该研究还将共享的大都会区拆分处理，这意味着在同一地区比赛的球队——例如洛杉矶的球队——是根据其特定的球馆位置而非作为单一市场进行评估的。
前十名
以下是场外兴奋度排名前 10 的季后赛城市：
- 拉斯维加斯 (NHL) — 38.22/70
- 奥兰多 (NBA) — 28.79/70
- 纽约 (NBA) — 26.33/70
- 休斯顿 (NBA) — 21.39/70
- 迈阿密 (NBA) — 14.84/70
- 旧金山 (NBA) — 14.35/70
- 圣安东尼奥 (NBA) — 14.27/70
- 洛杉矶 (NBA/NHL) — 12.46/70
- 菲尼克斯 (NBA) — 10.13/70
- 达拉斯 (NHL) — 9.59/70
研究人员表示，即使在博彩选择方面存在限制，圣安东尼奥在成本与文化之间的平衡仍使其成为一个极具吸引力的目的地——尤其是对于那些为了观看季后赛而旅行且注重预算的球迷来说。

San Antonio ranks among best 2026 NBA playoff cities
San Antonio ranks No. 7 among 2026 playoff cities, standing out for its affordability, River Walk nightlife and family-friendly attractions, according to BonusFinder.
Playoff energy in San Antonio isn’t stopping at the arena — it’s turning the city into one of the most exciting (and affordable) destinations in the postseason.
A new study from BonusFinder names San Antonio the seventh-most exciting playoff city in 2026, highlighting its mix of affordability, nightlife, and family-friendly attractions as the Spurs continue their postseason run.
The analysis examined 27 NBA and NHL playoff cities, using TripAdvisor data to score destinations across seven categories, including hotels, bars, entertainment, and attractions. San Antonio earned a score of 14.27 out of 70, just behind San Francisco at 14.35, marking one of the tightest gaps in the top 10.
Researchers found San Antonio stands out most for value. The city listed 127 budget hotels, second only to Houston, and more than major markets like New York City, Los Angeles and Miami.
Entertainment options also played a role, with 120 bars and clubs, many clustered along the San Antonio River Walk, as well as 25 sports bars and 10 amusement parks, including Six Flags Fiesta Texas and SeaWorld San Antonio.
“San Antonio is one of the most underrated cities in the playoff field. It sits just outside the top six and is separated from San Francisco by less than a tenth of a point, but what it offers traveling fans is clear: strong affordability, a genuine entertainment district on the River Walk, and family attractions that most comparably ranked cities can’t match. For fans watching the budget, it’s the most compelling case outside of Houston,” said Luciano Passavanti, senior gambling news editor at BonusFinder.
Still, the study noted a limitation for some visitors: Texas does not allow commercial casino gambling, and sports betting remains illegal statewide, meaning San Antonio lacks casinos or an arena sportsbook.
How the rankings were calculated
BonusFinder said it analyzed TripAdvisor listings for all 27 NBA and NHL playoff cities in 2026, recording the number of venues across seven categories: budget hotels, sports bars, bars and clubs, casinos, amusement parks, water parks, and adrenaline or extreme tours.
Each category was scored on a 0–10 scale using min-max normalization, with the city posting the highest number of listings earning a 10. Those category scores were then combined for a total possible score of 70. Data was collected in April 2026.
The study also treated shared metro areas separately, meaning teams playing in the same region — such as those in Los Angeles — were evaluated by their specific arena locations rather than as a single market.
Top 10
Here are the top 10 playoff cities for off-court excitement:
- Las Vegas (NHL) — 38.22/70
- Orlando (NBA) — 28.79/70
- New York City (NBA) — 26.33/70
- Houston (NBA) — 21.39/70
- Miami (NBA) — 14.84/70
- San Francisco (NBA) — 14.35/70
- San Antonio (NBA) — 14.27/70
- Los Angeles (NBA/NHL) — 12.46/70
- Phoenix (NBA) — 10.13/70
- Dallas (NHL) — 9.59/70
Even with limitations around gambling options, researchers say San Antonio’s balance of cost and culture makes it a strong destination — especially for budget-conscious fans traveling for playoff games.
