It'd be kind of bad if they scheduled it here for the first year and then the building was delayed, and wasn't ready. I know when I was looking at the early plans for the new arena they said it would be done 2010 maybe 2011, so i wouldn't be surprised if they wait for the building to be complete and do it the next year which will probably be 2011.

I didn't say they wouldn't, I was saying they will but the NBA will probably wait till they know 100% then schedule us for the all star game, which i said in my last post will probably be 2011

Orlando is the anti-Vegas so I don't think Stern's going to renig on his promise.

Um, the arena will opened as schedule for the start of the '10-'11 season so the 2011 ASG would be the earliest we'd get.

I'm expecting 2012 though.

I almost forgot about the new arena, lol. I guess out of sight out of mind. Can't wait for it. Too bad it'll be another two years.

the 2010 all star game is during the 09-10 season, our arena is opening in october 2010 making it the 10-11 season, so the earliest we can have it is the 2011 all star game...i think we will have it in the 2011-2012 season...just our luck isn't the world supposed to end in like 2011? lol

The NBA has a long history of awarding the ASW to teams that build new arenas. Also, Orlando has very good infrastructure to host this event.
