Atlanta's turn again, July 15, 2025, and this time it's home field advantage for me!

In retrospect, while despicable actions by Rob Manfred, who swiped the 2021 ASG from Atlanta and moved it to Denver a couple months before the game, Atlanta actually benefitted from his.  The Braves won the pennant in '21, to Manfred's chagrin, and having that year's ASG in Colorado near the end of the China Virus panic minimized the fun of the events while still at full price.  Now with a packed Truist Park and Battery Atlanta, the Heart of the South will have all events at full power and an amazing time for all who attend.

The All-Star game is set for Tuesday, July 15, 2025.  That means All-Star Village and other events will be held starting Friday, July 11.

As I had noted last year and confirmed now on the MLB website just recently, the Cobb Galleria Centre ( Two Galleria Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia 30339) is the venue for the Capital One All-Star Village.  This is in the area of Cumberland, Woodmere and Smyrna, all northwest of Buckhead, GA.  It's in the middle of junctions of I-75, I-285 and US 41.

Hotels in that area may be nearing capacity at this point in early April, but the season just started and most folks are not thinking about the All-Star game except the hardcore fans and ASG Week enthusiasts.  There may still be rooms at a reasonable distance from the venues and at a price point if you search and search often.  If you find a room in your budget, best thing is to book ONLY IF REFUNDABLE and/or allowing changes at no cost.  It is possible rooms are being held in group blocks and if you and search weekly that rooms may open when blocks are released closer to ASGW, maybe at a better price.  But best to book refundable/cancellable-at-no-charge in case you can pounce on something better.  That's better policy in general!

Player and Staff hotels will be high-end hotels which means likely in nearby Buckhead, as was said in conversation with an MLB staffer I met in Arlington.  This would be for the importance of the logistics to move players, staff an alumni between the hotels and event venues.  But I have not been able to confirm specific hotels as of this note.

As far as transportation, in years past certain hotels were designated for guests and ticket holders to catch a free charter bus to and from events.  There will be an ASG app available closer to the game, and the map of these locations provides a great way to park at little to no cost and ride a bus to the events.  Just make sure you know the departure time of the last bus back or you'd need to take a ride share.  The app is a must for the week's events.
