With a press conference to announce the 2011 NHL All Star game’s host venue being held in Raleigh on Thursday, even ESPN is reporting that the RBC Center will be announced as the 2011 hosting venue.  The RBC Center, once known as the ESA before the Royal Bank of Canada bought the naming rights, has played host to the Carolina Hurricanes and NC State Wolfpack as well as NCAA Tournament games, big time concerts, and lots of other entertainment events over the years.  If the rumors hold true, you can get tickets for the 2011 NHL All Star Game from GoTickets!
