All About the All-Star Games
The MLB All-Star Game, also known as the Midsummer Classic, is an annual event that brings together some of the best players across Major League Baseball for a fun and competitive game between the American League (AL) and National League (NL). It's a tradition that dates back to 1933, when the first All-Star Game was held in Chicago. Since then, the game has been played every year except for 1945, when it was cancelled due to World War II, and 2020, when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Seattle has played host to the All-Star Game twice before, in 1979 and 2001.
The All-Star Game has undergone many changes over the years. Initially, it was a one-time event to celebrate the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. However, it proved to be so popular that it became an annual event. The format of the game has also changed several times, with various rules and regulations being introduced to make it more exciting.
Over the years, the All-Star Game has become more than just a game. It's now a week-long celebration of baseball, with various events and activities taking place leading up to the game. These events include the Home Run Derby, the Futures Game, and the Celebrity Softball Game, among others.
In 2023, the MLB All-Star Game will be hosted by the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Stadium in Seattle, and baseball fans from around the country will flock to the city to watch the game and participate in the festivities. If you're planning to visit Seattle for the All-Star Game, be sure to check out the various events and activities happening throughout the week. And don't forget to pack your baseball gear and show your support for your favorite players!

FAQs
How do I get to the All-Star Game?
The best option to get to the 2023 MLB All-Star game in Seattle is by riding the Link Light Rail. The Stadium Station is the closest station to T-Mobile Park.

The International/Chinatown Station is another good option that will drop you closer to food options for pregame munchies and drinks and is a short walk to the ballpark.
Fares range depending on how far you travel. Link trains run every 6, 10 or 15 minutes depending on the time of day. Postgame service is available until 1a.m.
