Orlando 2012 All-Star Game?

I just saw Orlando won the 2012 All-Star game. Kinda bush league considering what Charlotte went through to get this arena and we're not in on that yet.

its never coming back to charlotte, at least not any time soon. we just dont have the downtown hotel/restuarant/bar/nightlife capacity to handle the 100,000 sized mob that shows up for the all-star weekend. its not the same as it was back in 1991 when charlotte hosted.

Doesn't Charlotte have even more bars/hotels/nightlife than 1991 though? It's a shame if they can't get the all-star game in that nice arena while it's still got the new smell.

yeah, we have more bars and hotels than we did in 91, but nowhere near what orlando, new orleans, vegas, dallas etc.. can offer. now if sacramento or OKC gets an all-star game before us, i'll be worried.
