For this event to be the first in the Spectrum Center to begin the weekend, I was somewhat underwhelmed. I expected a little bit more "pagentry & excitement"...IE mascots, cheerleaders to greet us in the lobby etc. That would have gotten me personally more excited, then there were no souveneir cups for purchase in the concession stand which is ridiculous as who wouldn't want one?! Nor where there any souveneir shot glasses for purchase either. The t-shirts were way overpriced as well. I was also shocked that it didn't sellout as this was one of the cheaper events to attend in the Spectrum Center the entire weekend. The game itself was fast pace & high scoring game....it was nice to be able to final see some of these players live and in person instead of on TV so that was definitely a plus. I think next year more advertising should be put into promoting this event as the celebrity game sold out and this one didn't, although perhaps the 9 PM tip-off time also hurt it as well....it would be nice if it started at around the same time as the Celebrity Game did so that people have more of their evening to do other things they would like to do.
Honestly I kind of wish it had more of the things that a normal hornets games has, it was a lot of fun but I felt like I missed out on some of the normal things I have grown to love when I come to the spectrum center, making signs with the cheerleaders, street performers playing music outside the stadium, access to the 2k games, and basketball hoops, I liked the all star gear in the store but I also think the normal hornets themed store is better, it was fun to be apart of all star weekend but I really missed these things I listed above that I enjoy at normal hornets games at the spectrum center
Great basketball experience for all ages and nice to have it in charlotte Queen City/buzz city... when it’s it coming to Washington Dc
This was a great event and we had a lot of fun!!! It was well planned and easy to get in and out. The only thing that was challenging was that there was very little parking.
My son and his friend have been following the NBA now for several years. I told them if the All- Stars Events ever made it to Charlotte, I would take them. We attended the showcase of Rising Stars, and it delivered in a major way. We had a fantastic time!!
It was a very fun night and a great way to kick off all start weekend!!
I honestly thought they were for something else but was better than the event I thought it was. The staff was very nice and had the opportunity to attend my first game.
Staffing sucks was not enough workers the line was so back up didn't even make it in
Just had a wonderful experience . Their was a lot excitement though out the event .
Getting into game was a nightmare. only one way in to parking. Would have been nice to notify ticket holders of changes to normal parking around arena. Then getting into arena through gates was ridiculous. One whole gate was completely open with workers and no one entering but we were told to go to another area that was much smaller and long lines to go through two separate entrances waiting in the rain. Not a crowd friendly set up for sure! We got to Arena area early and due to traffic and other problems, didn't even see the first half.
Best event. From entry to tipoff to end of game. Very smooth.
Great Event The Rising Stars was a great game and we had fun on it
This event was so much fun! Really glad I went. :)
I live in NY & watch the all star game every Yr on TV. Finally I got to go see it live.
Great event nice change of pace and uniforms! Awesome event to highlight the diversity of the NBA
My son said he liked the game. It was nice seeing some young players shine who we otherwise didn't really know.
The event was fun but slightly disappointing since they changed the game.
I liked it, I had fun, it was energetic atmosphere, half time show was even better performed by the Brooklynnettes.
Great time to see young stars of NBA. Tickets were at reasonable price to watch game.
