Posted June 25, 20195 yr A collection for all Cleveland MLB all star game and surrounding festivities chatter: The MLB All-Star Game is coming back to Cleveland! The Indians and Progressive Field will play host to the Midsummer Classic at newly renovated Progressive Field, giving the organization an opportunity showcase our revitalized city and incredible ballpark. The Tribe and city of Cleveland last played host to the All-Star Game in 1997, when current first base coach Sandy Alomar Jr. hit a homer in his home park and was named the game's MVP. https://www.mlb.com/indians/fans/all-star-game Edited June 27, 20195 yr by MuRrAy HiLL
June 25, 20195 yr Author First topic of conversation...how brutal / embarrassing is it having Redline rapid down during the All-Star week?? http://www.riderta.com/routes/redline
June 25, 20195 yr ^ This comes hot on the heels of the ‘Ride RTA for Free’ day a couple of days ago that saw the whole rail system go down for several hours due to a ‘computer malfunction’. Anyway, to help get us back on topic; I do like the signage for the ASG going up around town. Still can’t stand the logo though. My hovercraft is full of eels

Soon, you'll be seeing a lot of Fanatics. The massive online retailer will be operating the MLBshop.com store that will be located at Play Ball Park. The park, which will be housed at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, is a five-day fan festival that will begin on Friday, July 5. The store will span 20,000 square feet and have 15,000 square feet of space for MLB licensees, said Brandon Williams, Fanatics' director of global communications. The usual suspects — Fanatics, Majestic, Nike, Under Armour, New Era and '47 — will be there. https://www.crainscleveland.com/kevin-kleps-blog/fanatics-major-presence-mlb-all-star-festivities-will-be-headlined-play-ball-park Edited June 27, 20195 yr by MuRrAy HiLL

June 27, 20195 yr Number of us in Cincinnati would definitely like to see photos of the area, prepped and ready to go for the All Star Game. Would like to see how Cleveland rolls out the red carpet for the event.

It's CSX's retaining wall at the S-curve that's collapsing due to poor maintenance. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
