Earlier today, NEW YORK METS owner FRED WILPON, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL COMMISSIONER BUD SELIG and NEW YORK CITY MAYOR, MAYOR BLOOMBERG announced that the 2013 MLB ALL-STAR GAME will take place at CITI FIELD STADIUM in Flushing, Queens! The 2013 MLB ALL-STAR GAME will take place on Tuesday, July 16th, 2013.

 This will be the first time since the ’60s that the home of the NEW YORK METS will host the ALL-STAR GAME – in 1964 SHEA STADIUM hosted the time honored event during it’s opening season. The ALL-STAR GAME, also known as the MID-SUMMER CLASSIC, was last held in New York during the 2008 season at YANKEE STADIUM. New York has hosted the ALL-STAR GAMES more than any other city in the country – the 2013 game will make New York host for the ninth time! In the past the ALL-STAR GAMES have been hosted twice at the POLO GROUNDS, once at both SHEA STADIUM and EBBETS FIELD, four times at YANKEE STADIUM.

New Yorkers, especially Queens residents, are excited to see the 2013 ALL-STAR GAME return to Flushing! All of us at the HOLIDAY INN LAGUARDIA AIRPORT HOTEL are especially excited to see the events take place next door! Our General Manager, Jeff, was interviewed by TV station NY1 NEWS today about all of the excitement being generated in Queens – Let us know if you spot him on the news!
