Popular Basketball Events Near Columbus 

Fast-paced, unpredictable, and full of energy, basketball has become a cultural sensation and a king of indoor sports despite existing for barely more than a century. From the NCAA to the NBA, the WNBA, and the Summer Games, basketball tickets can liven up any season with a flurry of shot clocks, rebounds, and dazzling technique that leaves barely an idle second on the court.

Invented by Dr. James Naismith to keep his gym class busy on a rainy December day, basketball was always the perfect winter sport. The indoor arenas, packed with thousands of roaring fans, add a whole dimension to the game that you won’t catch by watching on TV.

Having found its way to every continent, the sport has produced titans of 20th-century culture, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan. Now, whether you want to see Maya Moore or LeBron James command the court or catch the next generation of legends take their shot, a basketball game is your ticket to excitement.
