Charlotte To Host 2019 NBA All Star Weekend
You know your city has reached the big stage when the 2019 NBA all star weekend parties comes to town. Civic and business leaders worked together for years to rejuvenate the commercial and residential base of several Charlotte neighborhoods, including the business epicenter of the “Queen City,” uptown. Held at the Spectrum Center, 2019 all star weekend promises to be one for the ages.
Here’s why the NBA and Charlotte are the perfect match.
Basketball Hotbed
We could go on all day promoting the rich basketball tradition of North Carolina. You have the state’s primary university, the University of North Carolina, which has produced NBA greats such as Michael Jordan, James Worthy, and Vince Carter. Travel up the road a few miles to the home of NBA and Duke University legends Grant Hill and Kyrie Irving. The NBA Charlotte Hornets, which are led by the phenomenal shooting of Kembra Walker, routinely sell out the Spectrum Center. For a city to earn the NBA’s awarding of the 2019 all star weekend, the city must have a strong basketball legacy.
Charlotte is the perfect location for the gathering of the world’s best basketball players.
2019 NBA All Star Weekend Parties
Charlotte will be hopping during the 2019 all star weekend. Parties hosted throughout the metro area will bring together avid NBA fans in anticipation of the skills competition and the countdown to the game. Hotels in uptown make the ideal locations for throwing a large team party in one of the ornate ballrooms or a smaller bash held in a conference room. Plenty of uptown restaurants offer private dining areas to host 2019 NBA all star weekend parties. Order off a menu or create your own culinary adventure well in advance of your visit to Charlotte. Many of the 2019 NBA all star weekend parties will end up at one of the bustling nightclubs operating near the Spectrum Center.
Advice for Fans
It is never too early to book a hotel room for 2019 all star weekend. In addition to fans from 30 NBA franchises, uptown Charlotte will attract plenty of NBA fans who live in North Carolina and adjacent states. We recommend finalizing your travel plans by booking flights and hotel rooms at least six months before the big event. Charlotte has created a well thought out public transportation system. Take a light rail train from the airport to your hotel. From there the bus system meets all of your travel needs for getting to and from the Spectrum Center. You can also hail one of the myriad cabs operating during the busiest weekend for Charlotte in 2019. Make sure to enjoy one of the highly rated restaurants operating in uptown and throughout metro Charlotte. The city boasts some of the best barbecue eateries in the United States, as well as seafood restaurants where literally the catch of the day is the catch of the day from nearby Atlantic Ocean.
Enjoy your stay in Charlotte for 2019 all star weekend.
