Shifting the Saturday night events, including
the Slam Dunk Contest, to the football-first venue will more
than double the capacity of Gainbridge Fieldhouse, according to
the Indy host committee, with at least 35,000 tickets to be
available.
The 73rd NBA All-Star Game will be held on Sunday, Feb. 18 at
Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers.
"All-Star Saturday Night is one of the most exciting and
entertaining nights in all of sports, and holding it at Lucas
Oil Stadium, one of football's most iconic venues which was also
thoughtfully designed for basketball events, enables us to make
it more accessible than ever to our community," said Rick Fuson,
CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment.
