paynomind Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Cool!http://www.ajc.com/thrashe....rs.html(first couple lines of story:)The NHL plans to award its 2005 All-Star Game to Atlanta shortly after the sale of the Thrashers is completed, four people familiar with the situation said Thursday.The game, which would be played at Philips Arena in early February 2005, would mark the third major-league All-Star Game in Atlanta in a five-year period, all seduced by the city's relatively new sports venues.The Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played at Turner Field in 2000 and the NBA All-Star Game at Philips Arena last year.

Primal Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Any bets that the uniform will feature 'EASTERN' and 'WESTERN' down one arm a la the new Thrashers' alternate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 What I say sheesh to more than the fact that it's in the south for hockey is how much crap ATL has gotten in the past 5 or 6 years.SB, NBA ASG, MLB ASG, NCAA Men's and Women's Final Four, now NHL ASG. I think they have had some more too, but slightly lower key (I'm thinking Women's soccer or something maybe). Of course go back to 1996 they even had the Olympics.

paynomind Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 not too many cities that have the facilities, infrastructure, and support to hold all of those events. It is an obvious choice to put the HHL ASG in the ATL.Plus, I'm supportive, cause I may get to go! NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

Chazberg Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 For the love of Pete guys, please stop using all these abbreviations!! And BTW zerodotcome, "its" in that context doesn't need an apostrophe. And BTW everyone else, the Thrashers' alternates kick ass, I got to see em in action tonight for my free preview week of Center Ice, and I hope the jerseys DO have "Eastern" and "Western" down the sleeves.

Waffles Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Of course, this all depends on whether or not the NHL still exists in 2005... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Atlanta could get screwed like San Jose did in 1995. Most likely, the league will give them 2006 or 2007. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I thought the league guarenteed Phoenix would get it in 2006 if they built a new arena.When the hell can Ottawa host it?--Roger "Time?"
