NBA All-Star Game

It was a great weekend! Dowtown Orlando is a little too party central and I loved the Cigar Bar!!

It was an unbelieveable experience to apart of over 108,000 fans (the largest crowd to witness a basketball game) in North America. I would do it again in a heart beat. The entire week of events was fantastic especially for children. I took my 11 year old daughter and Jam Session at the Dallas Convention Center was all she could ask for.

This was my first time going to the All Star Game. I am not a sport fan but my husband is. I was able to take my father, husband and father in law. This was truely the best !!

This was the worst event i went to. The practice was mainly watching the media interview the players, but it wasnt broadcasted, it was really boring....and it was $35 a ticket....a complete waste of $70....and NONE of the players signed at this event

The best event was the 3 point shoot out. The dunk contest was just ok. Not enough excitment. This was my first time attending. I hope the game is better!!!

The experience for my son was awesome. He did not get T-Mobile student tee shirt.

If you've never been and this was your first time, then you will always have something to talk about. A weekend filled with STARS and more STARS. If your not into Stars you still have a very good time .FANS from all over the world is here. We've seen and talked to many. IT IS A GOOD TIME FOR ALL!!!

Surprised arena was only 75-80% filled and most did not act like true fans of ball. Nate was great, Dirks half court winner was tops for MFFLs. Dancers were a bright spot. Main announcer was laughable calling Gerald Wallace--Gerald Robinson!

For the price of the ticket, the event was poorly orchestrated and the players were less than exciting, leaving the audience with very little enthusiasm. The competitions were not as thrilling as every other NBA All Star Saturday Night I've watched on TV. This was my first time going to an All Star Saturday Night, and I must admit, I would have enjoyed it more watching it at home. I've been to many, many similar sporting events over the years, but this one truly lacked the excitement and fun you come to expect from this night.

took my grandsons and their friend....i was amazed at the many activities. to see how excited the kids were made me so happy that i took them....they were so excited and wanted to participate in every activity....my 5 yr old waited about 1 hr to short hoops on the bungee jump...only disappointment ...they did not get any autographs...we seem to missed the autograph section....they had purchased an autograph ball for this reason. food was extremely expensive...but the best part for everyone was i won an autographed fathead during the practice game...my 2 grandsons went to bed and woke up this morning practicing the harlem globe trotters moves....they are determined to master those moves....it was a great time for all and can't wait for the next time in dallas

It was great!!!!!! I am glad that I attended this event!!!!!!!

Not as exciting as i was hoping for. Overall though it was a good experience and I would do it again.

I go to Mav games all the time, and my son and I get the combo pack and the bottomless drinks they did not offer that special.

I HAD A GOOD TIME. I WAS GLAD THAT THE ROOKIES BEAT THE SOPHOMORES.

Great game, lots of fun...great crowd participation.

This was a fun experience, I came to all-star weekend to help celebrate my best friends birthday. I enjoyed seeing all the celebs afar and up close. The game was good but the entertainment was so funny. :-)

Very exiting event. Love Chris Tucker's fan awareness. Makes attending the events memorable. Hate Terry Crews couldn't make it

Game was boring, play-by-play was boring. no star power, too many kids running around. Not at all what I expected. Very boring and disappointing evening.

The conbination cost for the Jam Session and the Celebrity Game was very cost effective. Entire family enjoyed it. However, food concession and prices were like I expected OVER PRICED, and not so great like at most events. Lines to the event stations moved well. Over all, we give the All Star Friday night experience four out of 5 stars.

$40.00 for handicap parking at American Airlines Center was excessive!

ROOKIES PROVE FRESH SKILLS ARE ENOUGH TO SCHOOL THE SOPHMORES AND MAINTAIN LEAD. TY EVANS RAW TALENT

It was a lot more fun watching the game in arena than watching the game at home even with a 50 inch HDTV. T-Mibile did it right!!!!

first time in all star game .... our experience was unbelieveble ..... i would like to keep info of more asgame in the future ......... great ........

Besides the All-Star game being entertaining, and the great half-time show, the venue was impressive. Although I was not seating in the best seats, there was still a sense of luxury. I enjoyed the experience so much, I am looking forward to purchasing tickets for Cowboy games.

It was definitely an amazing experience and there was not a bad seat in the entire stadium. With sooooo many people, you would initially think that it was overcrowded, but it was far from that. The security was great, as well as the crowd control.

The event was great. We had seats in section 145 for $ 250 each. From that place we good hardly see the playground. Since the seats were behind the stage from which Usher, Shakira and Alicia performed, we could only see them at the screens. We expected better seats for the amount paid (taken into account that we also had to travel from the Netherlands).

Everything was great. The only issue we had is that we actually walked around the stadium twice. Everytime we asked an attendant, they always told us a different story. Out of 6 attendants only 2 told us the same thing. We actually missed Usher we did not get in our actual seats until 7:30. Outside of that everything was great.

Originally I thought that getting the cheap $30 SRO tickets for the NBA All Star game was a good idea. Well I will never buy another SRO ticket for a basketball game at a football stadium. Mainly because that stadium is meant for a 100 yard field an considering that an NBA court is only a fraction of that size you cant even see anything. Coupled with the fact that even if you were lucky enough to get to a ledge you are so far away that you can barely tell who is dunking the basketball. Coupled with the fact that for the 1st 2 quarters there were no basketball sounds. You know like hearing a player's shoes squeak or hearing the ball hit the rim after a shot. Instead some Boston Celtic organist was playing all throughout the 1st half! Oh and did I mention how EXPENSIVE everything is there?! I bland margarita was $15!! The highlight was going but when I attend next year's All Star game I will definitely be sitting down and resting my back and legs..haha

I think the kids really enjoyed the mascots and maverick dancers. That was too funny,

A once in a lifetime experience-world record attendance at NBA ALL STAR GAME. Plus the entertainment by Usher, Shakira, Alicia Keys was an added bonus :)

It was amazing! I had so much fun. Were in LA 2011

At first didn't know how a Basketball game would be in a Football Stadium. But they need to do it in Dallas again VERY SOON. I can see them getting a Final Four Champ game very soon .just loved it

With the 160 feet video board there is definitely no bad seat in the stadium. The experience at Jerry's World is unquestionably worth the travel and money.

What an experience. From LeBron James/Dewayne Wade's dunks, Shakira and Alicia Keys' halftime performances to the timeout entertainment by the NBA Mascots and Mavericks dancers. And not to mention the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleeaders. It was an amazing experience.

Enjoyed all star saturday night, American Airlines Arena is a very nice stadium and I would like to visit Dallas again for an all star event. But I will be there next year from Super Bowl

It feels like I was part of the show... The Dallas Cowboys arena is an amazing stadium. They have a humongous screen so you cannot miss any details even from the third level (312 Row16). The half time show was full of surprises. Dozens of celebrities attended. After this event I feel reenergized by the positive atmosphere :) Check the included pictures/video.

It was cold in Dallas and getting from the parking lot to the building was a challenge but I am very glad I was there. Alicia Keys put it down at halftime!

This was a once in a lifetime experience - having an opportunity to see all of the NBA's big names on one court, when their respective teams routinely sell-out when they come to my local town. I would not consider myself a die-hard NBA fan, but when you toss in the fact this game was held in Cowboys Stadium and all efforts were being made to set an all-time attendance record for a basketball game - this was a can't miss (over 108,000 attended the game). The huge monstrosity that is the 60 yard wide jumbotron was certainly a distraction. I intentionally tried to avoid watching it, because, let's be honest, I could have stayed home if I wanted to watch TV. Admittedly, the picture on "Jerry Vision" was better than watching the game live. All in all, a great experience. I am glad I did it. At the end of the day, this is an exhibition and the players do noticeably hold back and resort to their playground style of play.

What an event! Cuban and Jones must be proud of what went on yesterday. We sat in the upper most section and we had the best view for the money. We were straight on the big screen. You watched the big screen 90% of the time. The players stats were a major improvement over the TX vs UNT game. Great job. The only suggestion on the video screen is when a replay is playing, have a PIP on the live game. You can get away with it in football, but in basketball, you miss the next play. The other major improvement is the smaller screen under the large screen for the lower levels. Didn't pay any attention to this but the people below certainly did watching the replays and live performances. Speaking of live performances, thank goodness we didn't go retro with "The Who". Alicia Keys was incredible! Lastly, the pre-game audio was terrible but improved when the game started. It must have been a back up system.

The venue was awesome!! The video screen ensured that there was not a bad seat in the place!! The opening was great and Alicia Keys was incredible as expected.

My brother and I had an Amazing time at the NBA All-Star game!

This event was so wonderful! I couldn't have been more impressed with the venue. The Cowboys Stadium is totally fabulous. The game was fun & it was not crowded even with over 100k people! Had a chance to be a part of breaking a Guinness Book world record for the most people to attend an NBA All Star game. Would highly recommend the venue for any event!

Last night was the best NBA game I've been to, although, it was my 1st ALL STAR game. What a event, with all the nba stars, and celebrities and fans setting a nba attendance record for one event. I've been to Cowboys Stadium when it first open last year and to think that a basketball game could be played there, was an experience. Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones have out done themselves. Bravo NBA, and NFL.

so the atmosphere was great, but you couldn't hear much of what was happening on the court from way up on the 4th level. i didn't feel like i could really get into the game very well. usher, shakira, and alicia keys were awesome! also, the organ music they played during the game wasn't very fitting to the basketball atmosphere. but, overalll, the game was very fun and well worth it!

WE HAD A GEAT TIME AND I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF... THE STADIUM LOOKED NICE AND IT WAS A CHANGE IN THE LOOK, BECAUSE IM ALWAYS AT THE COWBOYS GAMES AND TO SEE THE STADIUM TRANSFORMED TO SUIT THE ALL STAR WAS AMAZING... JERRY OUT DID HIS SELF AGAIN !! OH YEAH AND TO TOP IT DIRK GOT A CHNACE TO START.... WAY TO TO GO TEXAS!!!

Nba Allstar was a great Experience and i had Fun!! It was a cool considering it was on Valentines Day & my 5 Year Anniversary! Very Large Crowd at The Cowboys Stadium!! I totally wanted to see Kobe play so that's my only bad experience because i Love this Guy!! Sice he didn't play i had to Vote 4 Dewayne Wade 4 MVP because he's AWESOME!!

Other than being in a NBA finals championship game - the All Star game is the place to be for die-hard NBA fans. I love, love, loved it.

Great Program, Great Venue, Amazing Show BUT Terrible and Awful Sound System\u2026 Upper level seats could not hear much of the event and it seamed to be on delay from the action and at times it was very low and unclear. Cowboys Stadium is a great place to have such events but unless the sound system is fixed and speakers added behind the upper level seats, then it is to hard to justify spending that kind of money on seats, parking, food and merchandise.

GREAT SHOW GREAT CONCERT!!! Loved the Shakira and other shows... Despite the fact that our seats were quite far, We were still able to follow what was goin on down there.. lots of entertainment lots of things to do at Cowboys stadium.. One thing they can improve upon is that the acoustics in that stadium could be better..

We had so much fun at the game. The only real complaint would be the workers/event staff that didn't know the answers to any questions. They didn't know where Will Call or the Tickets were, and just kept telling you to ask other workers who either didn't speak English or didn't know anything. Once we got to our side we had to wait for 2 hours in the freezing cold and then be told we had to separate into lines of 4 groups of women and 4 groups of men. They said we would get in at 5:30. When 5:30 hit they were still waiting on instructions from Supervisors.....we still waited and there were women with babies and other families with children who needed to go to the bathroom. When they finally got the ok to let us in things inside the venue went much more smoothly. I enjoyed everything about the New Cowboys Stadium and think Jerry Jones did an excellent job with this venue! I am sooooo looking forward to the Superbowl next year and other concerts and events to be held here! Go EAST! Dewayne Wade Alll Day Baby, Allll Day!

Glad that we made it. All Star event is a must watch... We flew from Jersey for this event. One roof, 100's of stars, 100k of fans...

Overall the Allstart event was incredible. Great entertainment, concerts, and game. Felt proud to be the hosting city. Had kobe bbq burgers in the silver level seats, which were very tasty. Biggest frustration was having Club level seats and having no one able to tell me how to get to them. We walked around the event for over 2 hours before we finally found a Janitor who was able to tell us what to do and how to get to our seats. With tickets that expensive would hope you would have people on staff who were knowlegeble enough to tell you where the heck to find your seats. The people wearing event / staff shirts were less than helpful.

We got really great seats for the price. It was wonderful to be that close to celebrities. The announcer and DJ were great too they kept the crowd pumped which only added to the excitement of the event.

I bought tickets for me and my 2 grown sons, who live out of state, to attend this event. I wish they would have been 9 & 10 years old, but they were 26 & 27. I wasn't able to take them to any event like this when they were little. My oldest son was so excited to attend and hoped to have Kobe sign a painting he did of him from back in 1999. We also had tickets to the East and West Practice Game, but the Kobe event was during the same time. My son left the practice game, didn't event get to see the West come out to practice, and waited for over an hour to see Kobe in hopes to get his attention for just a few seconds so he would maybe sign his painting. Kobe didn't even acknowledge him, but slapped his hand with the hundreds of others in line. The whole thing was a Zoo. It was so crowded and long lines for food and the NBA Store. The advertised "get up close and personal" with your favorite players was a TOTAL JOKE. If you had tickets to the Practice Games, once you went in to that section, you couldn't leave to see the Jam Session activities and then come back in. I waited online to get tickets as SOON as they went on sale at 10 AM. I couldn't even get the lower level seating. I know there were Pre-Sales for this event. The announcer at the Practice Games was VERY VERY Annoying. The whole thing was very disappointing. The only bright spot was my son did get Ron Harpers Autograph and got to shake his hand.He also caught a ball thrown by Paul Pierce, which was pretty cool. We had high expectations that were not met. We left early.

It just wasn't as exciting as I though it was going to be. I loved the AA Center, though. The Sophmores just didn't seem to be into the game. The most exciting part for me was the slam dunk audition.

Outstanding game, tons of amazing dunks!!! We want DWIGHT to stay!

As a fan of the NBA , That was the most entertaining Allstar game Ever

This was the first time I was ever in the new stadium and it was well worth the drive/weather. Amazing time watching the best of the best NBA players in very good company.

It was a great experience to be at the NBA All-Star game in LA and see the best of the best. Seeing Kobe Bryant score 37 points and win MVP was special. Unfortunately the crowd was dead for most of the game, as it made you feel like you were in the library. Also nice to see Blake Griffin make his All-Star debut as a rookie. Also it would have been nice to receive the souvenir tickets instead of the typical Ticketmaster tickets, especially when you pay $500 for the ticket.

Could have been better if the consumers could have purchased actual jersey for a reasonable price (ie, $600 is too high) versus only the swingline or replica version. Adidas warm ups would have been nice too...

We showed up at the practice with tickets marked section 18 row A and seats 13 and 14 only be told it was open seating and to sit anywhere we would like....but there WERE NO ASSIGNED SEATS. We traveled from Northern California believing we would be on the first row and would be close to the players instead we were many rows back and behind the basket ---IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING

Man this has to be the best time I ever had! The stadium was awesome the atmosphere was crazy I loved it!!!

WOWWW is just an understatment of the NBA ALLSTAR GAME I took my husband for his Valentine DAY gift and just say we will spend the 2nd or 3rd week of February whatever city the NBA Allstar Game Weekend will be I will be there. THe best part of the NBA allstar WEEKEND was JAM SESSION. IF you are true sports fanatic this will be heaven to you meeting all the NBA stars up in close taking pictures and getting autographs. Can't wait till 2011

Sorry it took so long, but after a month being at home, I had to take some time to gather my thoughts to sum up all-star weekend. Right here, right now, one word to describe the recent NBA ALL-STAR weekend says it all; UNBELIEVABLE!!! The game itself was electric, but the real buzz throughout the entire weekend was about Jerry Jones brand new stadium. I've been in football stadiums before, but absolutely nothing like this, and certainly not on a grand scale such as this. I've heard some people say "I have seen the future" well, I hate to say it, but with this brand new stadium, it's safe to say that the future is already here. It's also safe to say that people in Dallas Texas (and anywhere else in the country) can hardly wait until February 2011 and Superbowl XLV, and just so you know, Jerry Jones getting the bid for the next Superbowl wasn't a coincidence. Was it a surprise? Hardly. Bottom line-I can hardly wait until the next NBA ALL-STAR weekend in L.A. That's all!

I have been to many big events (Super Bowl, Golf US Open, BCS & Rose Bowl etc). But I will say that this was the worse organized event for people driving to it. There were no signs on the roadways indicating were to get off for you parking location. Then when you did get in, no signs to direct you to the location you needed. People were outside their cars asking anyone that came by if the knew where a certain parking area was. We sat in lines trying to find our area for almost 2 hours. Then we had to stand in line for 1/2 hour to get into the stadium, because of security ( had not problem with that). Because of the parking problems we missed the first part of the game. I guess the most surprising thing of all was that there was not park and ride like there is to the Cowboys games. That would have been my first chose if it had been available. I did check with the Cowboy organization as well as the transit people in Arlington, with not luck finding park and ride.

SRO plaza is not all that...thought it would have been a little better of a view of the big screen.

The New Dallas Cowboys Stadium is awesome! Great place but the All-Star Game was very boring. I had to wait in the freezing cold for the doors to open for an hour. But only bad thing is traffic, crazy traffic I recommended in renting a limo, it s easy access for people who arrived and left in limo.

Great event. Would have liked the free stuff they gave out to reach everyone including those at the top. energy, organization very well.

We had a great time at the All Star Game! Even my daughter, who does not like basketball, had fun. The Jumbotron was amazing.

I had a great time. It was my first time every going to an Allstar game or to any of the events. It was so packed,everybody was in Texas for that weekend. Best believe I will be going to back.

I had a great time at the All Star Game right up to the point I wanted a tshirt. The lady at the self standing booth was rude and very unprofessional. I waited over an hour while this one attendant moved around boxes and didnt help anyone. Then she had an attitude when people were getting upset for not being helped.

I had the party pass, and yes it was very crowded. But being a basketball fan, and being a part of the biggest spectacle in NBA history, I was on top of the world.

Best ticket I've bought so far. The stadium was amazing.

one of the most exciting events I have ever been to.

I enjoyed the game but really enjoyed the performers before and during the game.

Wonderfull game with 24 magnific NBA players and good moves, which have created an amazing basketball journey with an unforgettable american organization for the 108.731 presented people.

Game and venue were great! NBA All-Star game is a hard ticket to come by....

From the venue, the players and the record breaking attendance. This was truly an event not to be missed. The staff were courteous and accomodating and even the highly paid NBA stars came to play. No complaints at all. FIrst class all the way!

halftime entertainment was off the chain. alicia keys and shakira were perfect picks. the boys 2 men auditions were also interesting.

Freezing cold and crowded, but would do it again without question. I only wish getting in and out had been better organized. I had to walk all the way around the outside of the stadium (in the cold) because I was only allowed to enter through a certain door. At one point, I even had to walk back out to the street instead of near the stadium. Upon leaving, I thought "surely I can walk to the other exit from inside." But no... You were only allowed to use assigned exits as well. STUPID. Not very hospitable. All parts of the game and entertainment were awesome though.

Enjoyed the event. Parking was as expected. Not sure the parking was worth the price paid. Wish they had played the All-Star Game at the AAC versus the Cowboys stadium.

We bought our tickets last July or some time around there. I also bought parking. We got there at 3:30 pm, thinking we should be there as early as possible. When we arrived the "parking Lot" was closed. How can a parking lot be closed? Then we got in to the parking and the gates were closed until 5 pm. It was freezing and windy. Then we got in the gates and the doors to the stadium were closed. They didn't open until 5:30. I cannot believe we had to wait out in the cold for a hour and a half. What did the visitors think of this?

The game was awesome. The stadium is unbelievable!!!

Event itself was great! Communications with parking personnel was Terrible!!! We had club seats and were shuttled three times into different lines, after waiting to the front of line one and being told we had to go into a different line. We then checked with the personnel in line two prior to waiting in that line, and were told we were in the right place, then after waiting in line two, got up to the front and were told by different line personnel that we to go to the end and wait in line THREE! We then went and waited in line three, and when we got to the front, were asked by line three personnel why we didn't go into the "Club Seat" entrance, due to the fact we had club seats, to which I responded that WE HAD TRIED and ended waiting in various lines for almost an hour and a half, even though we had arrived an hour and a half prior to the doors being opened. Had we been allowed to go into the "Club Seat" entrance, we would have saved over an hour wait in line!!! Extremely poor communication, and customer service to people that as Season Tickets holders in the Club Seats, who had taken advantage of the "Pre-Sale", were treated not just poorly, but rudely.

The nba allstar game was boring basically due to the poor DJ-ing that took place. The speaker system was not loud enough and the DJ had zero control over controlling the crowd to create a good energy and enjoyable experience. Also Most of the area was cut off and you were only allow to tour a very limited space. We had to wait outside of the arena until 30 minutes before the pre game show started. If you are tall you will not enjoy the seats because your shins will pay taxes the next day.

This All-Star game was worth the trip. Dallas new venue is the 9th wonder of the world. It's a must see for all sports fans.

Fun event, enjoyed it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a great time.

I love love love the venue: Cowboys stadium is such an amazing place. So much to see. I was in awe at the humongous screens "floating" in the sky! The game was amazing as usual, fancy dunks and baskets. Usher, Shakira, Alicia Keys and One Republic, need i say more!!! Best event I've attended by far, an event I will never forget!

It was soooo cold that day, but the cowboys new stadium rocks!!! The game is pretty much an exhibition game because they really don't play hard BB....but just being there is so exciting. The performances by Usher, Shakira and Alicia were great!!! It's really is worth going to.

Once in a lifetime experience to see the biggest and newest stadium host the 2010 NBA Allstar Game.

Excellent sports weekend, enjoying the stars, atheletes, and fans in the great City of Dallas

The atmosphere was great to be in the presents of all the great players. I had seats in sec 247, which was base line, I knew that, but the stage was set up right in from of me and was never moved. There were always cables from floor to ceiling in the way. Not to mention the only introduction and half time show we could see is on the giant TV behind the stage set up. The other issue I had was with the sound system, it was too low for most to hear clearly. Which in my opinion kept the crowd in their seats, and not very into the game.. The announcer was on the floor many times, and the group I was with had to ask what did he say . I have been to 2 other events at the new Cowboys Stadium and they were much louder than this event. I don t think the NEW Cowboys Stadium is a good location for ANY BASKETBALL GAME. ULESS YOU HAVE COURT SIDE SEATS.

the game and atmosphere was exciting,if you are a fan you shopuld go at least once.

I thought the allstar game was fabulous, the only negative was, they made us stand inline way to long before entering the stadium, it was like 30 degrees it was so cold, they should have allowed us to enter sooner, but the overall experience was great, the huge screen allowed everyone to see the game up close, eventhough we actually weren't up close. Next year I diffenently gotta get closer seats, but it was truly a memoriable experience.

The All-Star Practice was unbelievable! You talk about the ultimate all-access backstage pass, if you come to All-Star weekend, this is the one event that you want to be a part of because it is better than being at the game itself. What I really like about this event is that you never know which celebrity will make an appearance unexpectedly.

I am a military member and returned last month from my third tour in Iraq. These tickets were a gift from my moms, this event NBA all Star was the best. I had so much fun, seeing A. Keyes was like having a taste of heaven. The game was great, and the East winning was the icing on the cake. I partied so hard it's amazing I survived the weekend.

I was to damm cold out to have all those people wait 2 plus hours to get into a game, also there were not enoug places to buy souviners

This event was alright, it is sad that the NBA stars, the people really you want to see participate in this event are sitting out in the crowd instead.

Great event and great game but having lower section seats, my view of the actual game was not as good as I expected.

The venue was big enough to accomodate lots of fans that normally would not be able to attend an NBA Allstar game; however, it was so big, I didn't feel as close to the game as I'm used to.
