The MLB All-Star Game is a fantastic midpoint of the season when all of the stars come together to display their talents. Each year, one MLB city gets to host the festivities and in 2025 it will be the 2021 World Series Champion Atlanta Braves.
In anticipation of the MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta, platforms like DraftKings already offer odds for the major events, and those interested in finding out more about free-to-play offers and bonuses can navigate to this detailed DraftKings review.
The Atlanta MLB experience will play host to the MLB Futures Game, the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game, and the namesake itself to cap things off. Plus, the Home Run Derby – arguably the main attraction of the week – will highlight an exciting time for fans and players alike.
Third Atlanta MLB All-Star Game. This will be the third time that the MLB Atlanta All-Star experience will happen. The 2000 MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta is probably more memorable, but the franchise also hosted the event in 1972.
The festivities were initially supposed to return to Atlanta for 2021 but the MLB pulled out. It disagreed with a new law passed surrounding voting guidelines. The MLB issued a statement that the new law would be unfair to voters of color and instead chose to move the event to Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies.
A return to Atlanta feels right, especially with the Braves as contenders to win another World Series in the last few years. It will be a tremendous opportunity for both the city and the organization, making Atlanta the hub of the baseball world for a week in July.
Terry McGuirk, the chairman of the Braves, spoke of the pride and excitement of being awarded the 2025 All-Star Game. He really talked about Atlanta being a top destination for not only sports but entertainment as well.
The Braves and the city will work closely with Major League Baseball in order to create comprehensive experiences that highlight the game and support the local community. Not only will fans get to enjoy Truist Park, but The Battery Atlanta and the surrounding areas. It is a significant moment for the city and organization as a prime location with exceptional facilities.
The Battery Atlanta. A big part of the reason for the Atlanta MLB All-Star experience is The Battery Atlanta. Located adjacent to Truist Park, which will host the MLB Atlanta All-Star Game, it is a perfect location for the all-star festivities.
At more than 400,000 sq ft., The Battery Atlanta features a mix of living, workspace, dining, and shops all within a convenient location of the ballpark. The Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta opened in January 2018 and has become a premier hotel destination for visitors.
The last time the Braves hosted (2000), they won the N.L. East but fell to the St. Louis Cardinals in three games in the National League Divisional Series.
