McDonald's All American Games Are Moving To Atlanta In 2018
The McDonald's All American Games are moving from Chicago's United Center to Phillips Arena in Atlanta in 2018.
Only a few short months ago, Jarred Vanderbilt looked around in awe as he stood inside the United Center for the very first time. Little did the Kentucky signee know he would be part of the last group of boys and girls McDonald's All Americans to play in the historic Chicago arena for the foreseeable future.
A seven-year run in the Windy City for the high school prospect showcase came to a halt on Wednesday when the McDonald's All American Games announced it found a new home at Phillips Arena in Atlanta. The news was first reported by USA Today.
"We're thrilled to partner with the city of Atlanta and the Philips Arena to bring the McDonald's All American Games back to the state of Georgia," Hall of Fame basketball coach and McDonald's All American Games Selection Committee Chairman Morgan Wootten told USA Today. "We're equally grateful to the city of Chicago and our local partners that helped make the Games a great success for the past seven years, and we can't wait to bring our annual Games to a passionate basketball fan base in Atlanta."
The 2018 Games will be played on March 28.
