Phoenix市长与太阳队启动2027年NBA全明星周末倒计时
位于亚利桑那州马里科帕县的凤凰城市，2027年NBA全明星周末倒计时10月16日在Phoenix天空港国际机场正式启动。太阳队长期播报员汤姆·利安德、太阳队首席执行官乔什·巴特尔斯坦与Phoenix市长凯特·加列戈在机场出席新闻发布会，《亚利桑那共和报》当天报道了这一活动。
2027年全明星庆典定于2月19日至21日举行，活动在Phoenix会展中心展开，全明星赛于2月21日在太阳队主场抵押贷款对决中心举行。Phoenix此前举办过三次NBA全明星周末，分别在1975年、1995年与2009年；最近一次全明星活动是2024年的WNBA全明星周末。
加列戈表示，女子全明星赛带来可观的经济影响，市府从中学到了经验，目标是办出史上最好的一届全明星赛。巴特尔斯坦说，太阳队过去五年每年都去全明星举办地取经，将在2027年加入Phoenix自己的特色。NBA新赛季将于10月20日开幕，太阳队次日在Portland对阵开拓者队开启赛季。
Phoenix Mayor and Suns Start Countdown to 2027 NBA All-Star Weekend
Phoenix is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona. The countdown to the 2027 NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix officially began at a press conference at Sky Harbor International Airport on Friday, October 16, attended by longtime Suns broadcaster Tom Leander, Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, the Arizona Republic reported.
The All-Star festivities will be held February 19-21, 2027, at the Phoenix Convention Center, with the All-Star Game on February 21 at the Suns' Mortgage Matchup Center. Phoenix previously hosted NBA All-Star Weekends in 1975, 1995 and 2009, and most recently hosted the WNBA All-Star event in 2024.
"The women's All-Star Game had an incredible economic impact and we learned from that," Gallego said. "We're going to only do better, so the goal is to have the best All-Star Game ever." Bartelstein said the Suns have attended All-Star celebrations every year for the past five years taking notes, and will add an authentically Phoenix flavor in 2027. The NBA season opens October 20, and the Suns begin their season the following day in Portland against the Trail Blazers.
