Dodger Stadium To Host 2020 All-Star Game: Reports

LOS ANGELES, CA — For the first time in 40 years, Dodger Stadium will host an All-Star Game in 2020, according to reports.

Major League Baseball officials are expected to make the announcement Wednesday at Dodger Stadium. The Los Angeles Times reported that MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred will make the announcement at Dodger Stadium.

If Los Angeles hosts the 2020 All-Star game, it would be the first time since 1980. Currently, the Washington Nationals are slated to host this year's game followed by the Cleveland Indians in 2019. But it's not as if the game has visited Southern California in a while. In 2016, the All-Star Game was held at Petco Park in San Diego, and the Angels hosted the game in Anaheim in 2010. It's just been a long time since the league's all-stars descended on the iconic Dodger Stadium.
