The game was initially supposed to take place in Atlanta, but the league decided to move the game and draft in response to Georgia's recently passed lawsthat placed new restrictions on voting.

Coors Field in Denver -- home of Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies -- is expected to be announced as the new host of this year's All-Star Game, according to multiple news outlets.


"We are excited about the possibility of hosting the All-Star Game and are awaiting MLB's decision," Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said.

"Like so many Coloradans, I'm excited and hopeful that Major League Baseball makes the best decision and formally chooses to play the 2021 All-Star game in Denver," he said in a statement. "It would be good for baseball and good for Colorado."
