NBA All Star Weekend

Event Info

The 2010 NBA All-Star Game is an exhibition basketball game that will be played on February 14, 2010 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys. The game will be the 59th edition of the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game and will be played during the 2009–10 NBA season.

The Dallas Mavericks will serve as host. This will be the second time the organization will serve as host of an All-Star Game; they previously hosted the the 1986 All-Star Game at their former home court, the Reunion Arena in Dallas. The Rookie Challenge and NBA All-Star Saturday Night events will be held on February 12 and February 13, 2010, respectively, at American Airlines Center, home of the Mavericks.

This will mark the first time the All-Star events are split between two venues since 1989. The Mavericks was awarded the All-Star Game in an announcement by NBA commissioner David Stern, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on October 30, 2008. This will be the first All-Star Game to be played in a football stadium since 1996 when San Antonio's Alamodome hosted the event.
