Seattle's T-Mobile Park confirmed as host of 2023 MLB All-Star Game

"Major League Baseball is delighted to bring the All-Star Game to the Mariners and their fans in 2023," Manfred said during a news conference, per Matt Snyder of CBS Sports. "The City of Seattle has been home to many of our game's most popular figures in recent history, and we look forward to showcasing the sport's current stars and everything that All-Star Week has to offer throughout the Emerald City. I congratulate the Mariners organization and the local leadership in the City of Seattle and state of Washington for their efforts to bring the Midsummer Classic back to the Pacific Northwest at T-Mobile Park for a second time." 

Seattle last hosted All-Star festivities in 2001. 

"The eyes of the world will be on this community within 22 months, and it's our time to shine," Mariners managing partner John Stanton added, according to KOMO News. "We take very seriously this opportunity and commit to delivering the best All-Star Game ever." 

The Los Angeles Dodgers' Dodgers Stadium will host the 2022 All-Star Game. Citizens Bank Park, where the Philadelphia Phillies call home, will be the location for the exhibition contest down the road in 2026 because that year is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
