Gate C area shop for last-minute Cougs and Zags gear
Spokane Sports Shop sits in Terminal C after security, handy if your flight boards from the C gates and you want team merch without doubling back to A or B. It’s a small, walk-up space, so you can duck in, scan the racks, and still make a boarding call that’s 20–30 minutes out.
You’ll see Washington State Cougars and Gonzaga Bulldogs gear front and center, with logo hoodies, T‑shirts, and caps typically in the $25–$70 range. There’s also generic “Spokane” and “Pacific Northwest” apparel mixed in, so you’re not locked into a school if you’re just passing through GEG and need a quick souvenir.
Along the walls, expect standard airport extras: water bottles around $15–$25, soft-sided duffels, and a basic rack of socks, gloves, and beanies for winter trips into eastern Washington or Idaho. Selection skews to adult sizes, but you can usually find at least a few youth T‑shirts in popular teams near the front register.
Staff normally run a straightforward counter setup with one or two people on during peak morning and evening banks, which line up with the heavier C‑gate departures. Lines are rarely more than 5–10 minutes unless two flights to Seattle and Denver are boarding at the same time.
Quick tip: if your gate is at the far end of Terminal C, do this shop stop right after security instead of “on the way,” so you’re not fighting the boarding scrum and trying on sweatshirts at T‑minus 15 minutes.
