Venue selection The Florida Marlins were originally awarded the 2000 All-Star Game in July 1995, but due to concerns over the chronically low attendance figures at Pro Player Stadium and the long-term viability of the South Florida market, National League president Len Coleman revoked the game from Miami in December 1998. 1998-12-01 2000 All-Star Game Taken From Miami https://www.nytimes.com/1998/12/01/sports/plus-baseball-2000-all-star-game-taken-from-miami.html 2025-01-07 The New York Times en-US 0362-4331 Associated Press The Marlins finally got to host the 2017 All-Star Game. Coleman announced Atlanta would be the replacement host of the game, giving the Braves the chance to host their first All-Star Game since the 1972 edition. Turner Field, which opened in 1997, played a factor in Coleman's decision to award the game to Atlanta, citing Major League Baseball's desire to have the All-Star Game played in newer venues as a way to showcase the ballparks. This was the only All-Star Game to be played at Turner Field, as the Braves left for Truist Park at the end of the 2016 season.
