Bad Economy, you say? A week removed from the most watched Super Bowl in history, the NBA Star game is poised to shatter the record for the most people to attend a basketball game
Mavericks president Terdema Ussery said Monday that ticket sales for Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game have “officially passed 90,000 _ and we’re close to 92 (thousand).”Ussery said the Mavericks, the NBA and the Cowboys are still talking to Arlington public safety officials about what Cowboys Stadium’s capacity should be on Sunday.
Either way, the game will break basketball’s attendance record of 78,129, set by Kentucky and Michigan State at Ford Field in 2003.
“At this point, it’s a lot of art and a little bit of science,” Ussery said. “I would say low to mid 90s is where we have a comfort level right now.
“But literally, at the end of each day we have a conversation of where we are and how people are feeling _ because we want to do this right.”
