With the extremely high demand for tickets, why do they play these games in arenas? Why wouldn't they have this in the dome?

They did it in Dallas a few years ago, and it set attendance records. It seems silly not to do this in the dome.

Pretty sure the game is in the dome. Theyre just doing some of the smaller things like the celebrity game in the arena

It is in the Smoothie King Center, and demand for the tickets isn't high.

I was thinking this during the Celebrity game. Why are they doing this completely backwards? Friday/Saturday night events should've been in the SKC, All Star game should've been in the Dome

I don't if tickets are in high demand but they are high $$! I wanted to bring my son but when I looked at pricing I said sorry, watching this one on tv.

Ticket prices this year are peanuts compared to last year. They are selling on the secondary market for $200 a piece, and last year you couldn't walk in the door without dropping a grand on a ticket
