Cubs, Wrigley Field to host 2027 MLB All-Star Game – NBC Chicago

After decades of waiting and hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations, Wrigley Field will host the 2027 Major League Baseball All-Star Game .

The game will mark the first time the Chicago Cubs have hosted the All-Star Game since all the way back in 1990, and will mark the first time the game itself will have been played in Chicago since the White Sox hosted at Rate Field (then U.S. Cellular Field) in 2003.

The team announced the news in a press conference Friday, just days after the death of Cubs legend and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg -- a fitting move noted by Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts.

"Fitting because Ryne played in 10 All-Star Games, notably he played in the last All-Star Game that was at Wrigley in 1990," Ricketts said. "And he won the Home Run Derby that year."
