The All-Star Game is in Seattle tonight, but in two years, it could be coming to Atlanta.
Hopefully to stay.
Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed today that Atlanta is among the host cities under consideration for the 2025 All-Star Game. Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and Toronto are also said to be possible considerations.
“Atlanta is in the mix of clubs for the ’25 All-Star Game,” he told the Baseball Writer’s Association of America today. He would not elaborate further.
Atlanta almost had its day (or night) in the spotlight in 2021 when MLB pulled the game from Truist Park in protest of changes in Georgia’s voting laws. The game was played instead at Denver’s Coors Field.
Atlanta previously hosted All-Star Games in 1972 and 2000.
