McDonald's All American Games Headed To Atlanta After Chicago Stint

Philips Arena will host the '18 McDonald's All American Games on March 28. Atlanta "previously hosted" the boys' side of the high school basketball showcase in '83 and '92. The move "follows a run of the All American Games in Chicago," which hosted for seven consecutive years beginning in '11. During that time, "more than 100,000 fans attended" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 9/20). This comes after a "brawl occurred after the game" at United Center in late March, with more than a dozen people "seen fighting in a video" (CHICAGO.SUNTIMES.com, 9/20).
