SunTrust Park In Spotlight: Atlanta To Host Major League Baseball’s 2021 All-Star Game

“The facility here, including SunTrust stadium and the Battery, is the best in baseball,” Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said during his announcement Wednesday that the 2021 All-Star Game will be held in Atlanta. This will be the third All-Star Game in Atlanta. The 1972 game was played at a ballpark best known as Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. The 2000 game was at Turner Field.
