4 Months After Abashment at Utah, Adam Silver and Co Latch Onto $720,000,000 Fortress To Restore NBA All-Star Weekend?s Glory

The NBA has already started to make moves for the All-Star weekend next year! Off late, the hype around the All-Star weekend has continued to gradually reduce year after year. The 2023 All-Star weekend did not live up to the expectations and left fans majorly disappointed. However, they need not worry about the next one, as Commissioner Adam Silver has brought out a new action plan for the fans. The All-Star weekend in Utah this year did not fetch enough television ratings which has pushed the league to make some major changes.?

The commissioner revealed a new change in format for the All-Star game and, more importantly, a change in venue as well. What are we going to witness in Indiana next February?

Adam Silver and the NBA to redeem themselves with a $720 million fortress

Well, it looks like the NBA has decided to steal some notes from the NCAA. March Madness is a sensation for Americans. Considering the prolonged success of the NCAA, the NBA has decided to use a similar plan to upgrade the All-Star game. What are the changes??

The NBA changed the All-Star game format from Western Conference vs Eastern Conference to a mini-draft in 2017. Though it has been just a few years since this change, looks like it has already lost its value. Now, the NBA is planning to bring out the Final Four format which is currently being used in the NCAA.?

This could increase the opportunities for the players and at the same time can also maintain the viewer’s intrigue. The elimination or knockout format could push the All-Stars to play more intensely, which is exactly what the fans are expecting. However, this is not the only major change.?

Adam Silver is also planning to increase the audience count in the arena for the Saturday night festivities. The Gainbridge Fieldhouse stadium in Indiana has a capacity of around 17,000. Nonetheless, the NBA wants to move it to the $720 million Lucas Oil Stadium as per a report by FrontOffice Sports.

What’s special at the Lucas Oil stadium??

The football field has a capacity of twice that of the Pacers‘ Fieldhouse stadium. With nearly 35,000 seats, the league is desperate to increase the live audience as well. The Lucas Oil Stadium has hosted the NCAA’s ‘Final Four’ a few times previously.
