Why can't we land the All-Star game?

Houston getting again for the 2nd time in 7 years years..New Orleans again for the 2nd time in 7 years. We haven't hosted it since 1990. Is Miami not a desirable location for Stern?

Ive heard some excuses about it will be too crowded or not many hotels something like that which is BS cause theres countless of hotels up and down brickell and biscayne

Downtown miami traffic sucks donkey dick, i agree.

But I'd love an All star game down here.

Problem is it coincides with Boat Show and Coconut Grove Arts fest so traffic and hotels a problem, plus Arison upset that season ticket holders get left out in cold by nba due to arena size. One option that has been discussed is using Marlibs stadium and basing more in downtown Miami.

IIRC, Arison said something about not enough benefits for season ticket holders, or something like that, a while back.

Also, dat Downtown traffic during all times of the year, especially during events. There is always something going on down here that overlaps another event and makes traffic even worse.

Though, I wouldn't mind it.

edit: G. Cracker beat me to it.
