With last weeks news of Charlotte bidding to host the 2017 All-Star Weekend. It seems that the Portland Trail Blazers are going to do the same according to CSNNW.
“For our fan base, it’s long overdue, particularly in one of the few cities that has yet to actually host an NBA All-Star game,” said Chris Oxley, General Manger of the Rose Quarter. “This, quite frankly, could be the single-most significant sporting event or event in general that the city has every had the ability to host. I think that’s very meaningful in terms of Portland taking it to the next level as a host of future major events.”
What’s good with the NBA All-Star. It doesn’t matter where you host it. Portland in February? No problem. Everything is indoors. It’s all good. I’m going to be interested in how the teams bid for All-Star Weekend. I don’t mind if Portland or Charlotte host it. They both have their reasons and now that they’re both newly relevant it’s a great time to do it.
