These players are used to the bright lights, but not exactly like this. Debuting in 2003, the celebrity game has been a staple at All-Star weekend ever since. However despite its 14-year tenure, the celebrity game is such a minor part of the weekend’s festivities that it doesn’t even take place at the host arena. The All-Star game is being played at the home of the New Orleans Pelicans, Smoothie King Arena. The celebrity game, on the other hand, is taking place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
