MLB: Three New Homes For 2021 MLB All-Star Game To Be Played

MLB All-Star Game Site # 1: Sweet Home Chicago

To be fair, MLB does have two options when it comes to the city of Chicago.

However, I think we all know which one is the more likely selection.

The last time Wrigley Field hosted the All-Star Game? That would be 1990. An eternity for one of the league’s most beloved franchises, and more importantly in this case, more beloved stadiums. The City of Chicago itself has only gone since 2003 without hosting the event, when the game was played at the White Sox ballpark. Still, that’s a really long time for a city that only trails New York in number of All-Star Games hosted, and with that rich of a baseball tradition.

Wrigley itself has undergone extensive renovations over the last few seasons, making it much more attractive to the league than it had previously been. The city certainly boasts plenty of amenities to make a big event out of the whole thing, from the practical considerations of two major airports to more fun consideration of a bevy of hotel and dining options.

At the end of the day, Chicago is Chicago. It’s hard to get much more in the middle of things than the Windy City. Aside from Braves fans that will be angry no matter what, only St. Louis Cardinals fans will be upset with this choice. It’s the safest bet, and frankly, one you should probably expect to hear announced by the end of the weekend.
