WJMorris3 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Giants to host '07 All-Star GameThis one's well-deserved, after all, it's been 23 years. But I'd say Tampa and St. Louis should be next in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The new ballpark in St. Louis won't be operational until 2006 and the Ballpark Village - the surrounding residential and commercial complex that's going to be a combination of rehabbed warehouses and brand new, retro-style construction, won't be substantially complete until 2009. Ballpark Village is an essential part of St. Louis hosting an absolutely world class All Star Break and therefore it's going to be at least another 4 years before we get the game.Yes, Pittsburgh and San Francisco will have hosted two ASG's before St. Louis has hosted one, however that's not an oversight. For many years St. Louis did not even bid on the ASG. During the late 70's and all the way into the mid 90's, downtown St. Louis did not have the kind of quality hotel space needed to host an event like the ASG. Now that downtown has that kind of hotel space and more of the amenities that would be demanded of the folks that come in for the game, it's once again feasible to consider hosting, but they're not going to even try until the crown jewel of the redevelopment effort is complete.

randyc Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 why are they having it in the NL two years in a row? PNC Park in Pittsburgh in '06 and SBC Park in San Fran in '07? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I hope Phoenix gets it in 2008. It would be nice. 2006 NHL All-Star Game(hopefully), and Super Bowl XLII(42) in 2008 in Glendale, and the 2008 MLB All-Star Game would be the icing on the cake. Damn a man can dream can't he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Because the NL has new stadiums. Selig wants to reward those organizations who have built in the last couple years. You might not see the AL for a while. Probably Petco in 08 and New Busch in '09.If they decide to build a new fenway or yankee stadium, look for the last year in those to host the all star game.

Possible All-Star Game for projected stadium By BARRY JACKSONbjackson@herald.comMarlins president David Samson said he has spoken to Major League Baseball officials and believes it's ''very likely'' the team would be awarded an All-Star Game within the first five years of the projected 2008 opening for its proposed $420 million retractable-roof stadium next to the Orange Bowl.The Marlins have an agreement in principle on a deal with Miami-Dade County and the city and are seeking $60 million from the state Legislature, which the team would use to borrow $30 million to complete stadium funding.``We're working with [Tallahassee] on drafting a bill and putting us in a position where it would pass.'[The Marlins' $192 million toward the stadium] is the fourth-highest team contribution in baseball history. If any of the previous owners had tried this, they would have gotten a deal immediately without losing an ounce of blood like we have.''Miami 2010??? 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 They need to have it at Great American Ball Park sometime in the near future. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I prefer the rotating between leagues over sending it just to the new stadiums. If a team has to wait an extra 2 years? Big deal, most folks will still say "Wow! that's a neat new ballpark"! Don't forget the Nats will be opening a new stadium in 3 years as well.

dfwabel Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 They need to have it at Great American Ball Park sometime in the near future. There is now a back log of new stadiums. I would expect to hear mayor's to become more vocal especially since most are downtown based. Add the Angels to this list. Anaheim had the 1986 game, but that is basically a new stadium now. Remember DC will get one 1-2 years after opening too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, for those cities that shell out $300+ million, it is a big deal. Knowing that within 1-3 years of opening you are going to get the convention/visitor's business from the game is huge. Plus it is a easy way to fool potential voters. The attempt to get possible two shots of that "economic impact" within the life span of the facility is important to them.

The_Admiral Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Los Angeles and Kansas City could've hosted 2007 and 2009. Plus more NL parks mean more pitchers having to bat in the All-Star Game...just use the freaking DH, it's an exhibition ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why nobody here is upset about getting "passed over for so many years." We never allowed ourselves to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
