Cincinnati Reds’ Stadium to Host 2015 MLB All-Star Game

January 22, 2013

The Great American Ball Park, home to the Cincinnati Reds will host the 2015 MLB All-Star Game, according to the The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is expected to make an official announcement on Wednesday in Cincinnati, according to the Enquirer’s sources. 

The Reds declined to comment.

Reds owner Bob Castellini said last opening day that Cincinnati would be getting an All-Star Game, but he would not say which year, according to the Enquirer. 

The last All-Star Game in Cincinnati took place in 1988 at Riverfront Stadium, the predecessor to Great American Ball Park. The 2015 game will be the fifth all-time to be played in Cincy (1938, 1953 and 1970 were the other years), the Enquirer noted.

This year’s All-Star Game will be held at Citi Field in New York, home of the Mets. The Minnesota Twins will host the 2014 game at Target Field in Minneapolis.
