I have been to many Pro ball parks and find Clevelands Jacobs Field as one of the best. I attended the last All-Star game in Cleveland and it was electric.
The City it self has really come along way.

I agree that the Jake is one of the best, and the city and Tribe fans have certainly regained the passion they had in the late 90s. However, it will be a while before the All-Star game returns to Cleveland. You'll have to settle for a World Series instead!
Wedge47, the 2009 All-Star game is in Busch Stadium, and I heard that MLB is waiting for the renovations to Kaufman Stadium to be completed before putting a game there.

Cleveland isn't likely to come up in the AL half of the rotation until after 2016.
Last AL-hosted ASG:
Baltimore -- 1993
Boston -- 1999
Chicago WS -- 2003
Cleveland -- 1997
Detroit -- 2005
Kansas City -- 1973
Los Angeles A -- 1989
Minnesota -- 1985, new park opening 2010
New York Y -- 1977, scheduled 2008 (new park 2009)
Oakland -- 1987, new park opening 2011
Seattle -- 2001
Tampa Bay -- never
Texas -- 1995
Toronto -- 1991
New parks have hosted before in the first season, but it's usually better to let a year or two go by to shake out any logistics -- park operations, traffic flows, new luxury hotels in the immediate vicinity -- and have a better overall ASG experience.
So, here's a guess:
2008 -- NY Yankees (confirmed)
2010 -- KC, if the renovations are done
2012 -- Minnesota
2014 -- Oakland
2016 -- LA Angels
2018 -- Tampa Bay, as MLB sighs and bows to the inevitable (no one really wants an All-Star Game in the Trop)
--- This would complete the new AL parks (except Yankee II) as well as all the teams that haven't hosted since the 1990s.
So, starting here, we just reach as far back as possible, though these could go in any order:
2020 -- Toronto
2022 -- Baltimore
2024 -- new Yankee Stadium
2026 -- Cleveland
2028 -- Texas
The Indians won't be hosting the ASG any time soon.

In my opinion... not yet. Cleveland just had an all star game in 1997. That was only 10 years ago. Kansas City hasn't hosted an all star game since 1973, St Louis hasn't had one since 1966.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh, Houston, and Chicago have hosted 3 each in the last 40 years. Time for some other cities to have a turn.

wait to 2010's to 2020's as the league has rights to put the all-star game in the city. Jacobs Field can consider for the All-Star Game again but they has high wall outside the field as double as than other stadium's wall. That why does Home Run Derby is more hard for the players to hit the home runs.
the highest wall is on the left field as the normal wall is on the center and right fields.

i admire the added gamers, and the skill to interchange any injured participant. i don't purely like the DH each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, yet i will understand why they did it; I enjoyed the way it became purely used in AL parks. the rule approximately pitchers not being in the All-megastar interest in the event that they pitched the Sunday before- will they nonetheless be 'formally' All-Stars? Or will they be 'kicked off the group'? i think of it rather is clean that they actually do not % yet another tie- did not final years bypass into greater-innings? perhaps they should make a rule approximately what number innings the starter has to pitch? i don't think of it rather is honest that the All-megastar interest determines residing house container benefit in the WS, yet I DO think of the All megastar interest ought to count selection for 'some thing'. What might different thoughts be, although?

I think it should host it myself, but then you can argue that a team like Tampa Bay has never hosted the game. Yet then the Rays don't really have many fans so there is little point to having it there. I would like to see the Jake host one in the near future but I see it happening sometime in the late 2010's or early 2020's.

Other cities that haven't hosted an all-star game recently should get a chance first, but eventually Cleveland should get another one.

They're not going to have it in Cleveland again for a while. Yankee Stadium hosts 2008.

Not until they have played in all the other parks first.
