Will Utah ever get the All Star game again?

They just announced Houston got it for 2013, and they just had it in 2006. Utah is coming up on 20 years. Doesn't seem too fair when each city could use the boost.

They'd probably have to build a new arena, which I don't think will happen for quite some time. And by the way, could you and your little buddy please button up your shirts? You're creeping me out.

Don't mess with a guy who sits on a chair backwards.
 
Maybe we could throw some fancy new paint on the old grey warehouse, and promise them Marie Osmond or something.
 
Why would the Jazz have to build a new arena?? Their seating capacity is above average of other NBA teams. And old grey warehouse? It was built in the early 90's and is one of the newer arenas in the NBA. Just because you were born in 95 doesnt mean that everything that came before you is outdated. It just means that your still a little baby with a lot to learn.
 
Instead of building a new arena, they could probably throw several million into ESA with a big remodel and get the All-Star game back.
 
It won't happen. I remember seeing Stern asked this specific question point blank and his reaction seemed to be that he was stifling laughter. His actual response wasn't much more encouraging.

Just because I've been to more games in the Salt Palace then years you've slimed around this planet is no reason to be jealous.

I think someone didn't do his research.
 
I actually decided to look up NBA arenas' ages just to see how totally wrong slapper is.

The DC/ESA is the 6th oldest arena in the league, trailing only Madison Square Garden (icon), Palace of Auburn Hills (Pistons), Bradley Center (Bucks), Arco (team almost moved because of its age), Oracle Arena (somewhat of a local icon in the Bay area), and the Target Center (T'wolves, one year older).
