Indianapolis plans to host the 2024 NBA All-Star Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium, home to the NFL’s Colts and previous NCAA Final Fours.
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.
