Major League Baseball is expected to announce the All-Star Game will be relocated to Denver after the event was pulled from Atlanta amid a growing outcry over Georgias restrictive new voting laws.

ESPNs Buster Olney first reported that the game is expected to be held July 13 at Denvers Coors Field. The Associated Press later confirmed the reports, citing sources familiar with the decision, and said the event will be hosted by the Colorado Rockies.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock (D) responded to the reports, saying the city was excited about the possibility of hosting the game once the MLB officially announced the news. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) added that he, too, was hopeful following the reports.

Like so many Coloradans, Im excited and hopeful that Major League Baseball makes the best decision and formally chooses to play the 2021 All-Star Game in Denver, Polis told The Denver Post. It would be good for baseball and good for Colorado.

The city last hosted an All-Star Game in 1998.
