Sunlit Silence: All-Star Saturday Faces Empty Seats at Intuit Dome
All-Star Saturday at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome drew a sparse crowd despite a reported sellout, as an early 2 p.m. start and bright sun kept fans away and traffic lingered; attendance hovered around 15,067 of 18,300 capacity, with the stands filling only later for the dunk contest. The weekend’s ticketing dynamics—scarce face-value seats, high resale prices, and owners relying on resale portals—underline accessibility issues even as Sunday’s USA vs. World game offered more competitive excitement.
