In a ceremony at Wrigley Field yesterday morning, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced that the Cubs would host the 2027 All-Star Game at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, July 13.  Wrigley will become the third stadium to host four All-Star games, having previously hosted in 1947, 1962, and 1990.  “This is an honor for our team, our city and our state,” said Cubs Executive Chairman Tom Ricketts. “We can’t wait to showcase how we have preserved this iconic ballpark. Wrigley Field means so much to Cubs fans and millions of people who have visited what we believe is a baseball cathedral and one of Illinois’ top tourist destinations.

The very first All-Star Game was held in Chicago at Comiskey Park in 1933, as was the 50th anniversary game in 1983.  With just six years separating 2027 and 2033, it would be surprising, but not unprecedented, for Chicago to get the 100th anniversary game.
