Following the announcement, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett expressed his joy when he talked about what will be in store for fans at the All-Star event.
“Between two top-tier sports venues, four days of free public transit, and one of the most walkable downtowns in America, NBA All-Star has never been more accessible or fan-friendly,” Hogsett said. “It’s no surprise. When it comes to hosting large events, Indianapolis does it like nobody else.”
