Pretty awesome spectacle looking back.

The announced attendance for the All-Star Game was 108,713, the all-time attendance record for the sport. The previous verified record for attendance at a basketball game was 78,129, set in a December 13, 2003 game between Kentucky and Michigan State at Ford Field in Detroit.

The final of the 1968 European Cup Winners' Cup between AEK Athens and Slavia Prague at Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens is believed to have had an attendance of 120,000 but that total was not verified at the time.

The previous record attendance for an NBA All-Star Game was 44,735, set at the Houston Astrodome for the 1989 All-Star Game.

This event also broke the record for the single largest attendance for an indoor event, previously held by WrestleMania III in 1987.

Can't piss off China and not expect repercussions. Also, streaming and the internet has changed the game.
