Looking to revamp the annual McDonald's All-American Games, the fast food giant has "cut its deal" with the United Center short by a year and will "move the event back to a rotation of cities" beginning in '18, according to Danny Ecker of CRAIN'S CHICAGO BUSINESS. McDonald’s Head of Global Alliances John Lewicki confirmed the company will move the 40-year-old event, but said that it "has not finalized future host cities." McDonald's held the event in "different cities every year until settling on the United Center," where it has played each of its All-American Games since '11. But unlike previous games, which were held in "small and mid-sized markets such as Ames, Iowa; South Bend, Ind., and Louisville, Ky., the company will target bigger markets" where it can also sell tickets. Lewicki said, "Not that Chicago didn't support it from the beginning, but there's a lot going on in Chicago, there's a lot of different opportunities for entertainment dollars." Lewicki said that Chicago "could host the event in the future, but that McDonald's is still determining how many cities it wants to include in its rotation" (CHICAGOBUSINESS.com, 6/1).
