Overview

  • The league set Feb. 7 for the All-Star Skills Competition and Feb. 8 for the All-Star Challenge, both at Rocket Arena.
  • Hotel Cleveland was designated the host hotel with an indoor walkway branded the Road to the All-Star Classic connecting to the arena.
  • All-Star ticket packs went on sale starting at $49, covering both events and a knit hat, with individual tickets to follow.
  • Organizers pointed to Cleveland’s near-19,000-seat arena and Monsters crowds averaging just over 11,000 as factors, and they project a multiple seven-figure economic impact.
