SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA circus is over.

Over the last week, Salt Lake City was transformed into a basketball haven of sorts. There were conventions, parties, concerts, snowboard competitions, and even the state's first pop-up liquor store.

Oh, and of course, the whole basketball part, too.

According to NBA commissioner Adam Silver, it was a historic event in many regards.

"We have an all-time record in terms of hotel nights," he said Saturday. "We're occupying 33,000 hotel nights in the community here, and we have more fan events than any time in history."

All those nights and events brought in a lot of money to the state.

"In terms of the magnitude of All-Star, this is our largest in our history," Silver said. "They're estimating the economic impact here in Salt Lake City will be roughly $280 million. That's an all-time record."

That's great news for the city and state, especially considering the initial estimate when the game was awarded in 2019 was roughly $45 million to $50 million, according to then Gov. Gary Herbert. But how did the citizens feel about the event?
