I live in Dallas and LA and I go to all star weekend almost every year...The traffic in Dallas was terrible and its going to be even worse in LA.

Like dude said, the traffic and freeways in LA will be crazy and the cover to get in clubs is going to be unreal.

The national championship game was in Pasadena, and to be totally honest outside of Pasadena you could barely tell the game was in town..

I'm more excited about Orlando in 2012 than I am about next year.

People saying Chicago should host it are crazy. Chicago is the WORST city to fly into during the winter

   Depends on the week. Chicago is a top 5 market though, and one of the few markets that actually makes its team money. If you are going to hold it in a city where it could be potientally be snowing ,then you can not play games on the Thursday before the game, give TNT a special Wednesday date and make it happen.

15 minutes between the convention center, and the UC and the convention center is close to the parties. People forget we have 2 airports..... and You dont even have to use Ohare...

i think the superbowl should always be indoors

you dont want rain to make it a sloppy and boring game

I agee w/ what you're saying, but the weather in chicago is awful in feb. Everytime I fly to Chicago in the winter I always get stuck or my flight is delayed for hours.

 

[big j 33]

I'm definitely going to Orlando in 2012.

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

I'm going to try my best to attend the asg g in LA since I'm moving there at the end of the year

I love LA, it's the best place in the world for me

 

[CJMcfly26]

LA does not need another one,

 

[marionthebarberian]

New Jersey hosted the All-Star Game in 1982.

 

[ryda421]

damn hopefully I can get tickets...

what's the cheapest you think the rookie challenge will be?

 

[nychiphophippo]

new jersey

not even the nets and their 4 wins want to play there, they're goin to BK...why would the 24 best nba players? all the players would be chillin in ny the whole time

 

[finessesosa]

if they doing LA next ASG then the Year after it better be NY if they really trying to bring in revenue. Canada would be a good look also.

for a city like la, staples center should of been a top 3 arena.

 

[negetive00plxco]

No one has mentioned that LA has two teams. The lakers hosted the 03 asg and now the clippers are getting their shot hahha

 

[nkwu11]

Maybe Toronto hosts it when construction is finished on the condos next to the ACC.
That's where I heard the 2012 number a while back. I remember there was some word that Toronto wanted to make a push for it 3. They obviously didn't and started construction. I do remember reading that they planned to finish the condos and then host it since they planned to make the outside between ACC and Condos and add appeal for the all star game to be held here.

That being said, that Doug Smith piece makes more sense to me.
