The rosters are (mostly) set and all is just about ready for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday at Globe Life Field in Arlington. The home of the Rangers will host the 94th Midsummer Classic for a game that will have a distinct Texas vibe, from the player uniforms to the concessions and more.

Does the All-Star Game still decide home-field advantage in the World Series?
No. That element was removed as part of the Collective Bargaining Agreement before the 2017 season. Since then, the All-Star Game has returned to being an exhibition and home-field advantage in the World Series has gone to the pennant-winner with the better regular-season record.
How many times have the Rangers hosted the All-Star Game?
This is the second time the Rangers have hosted the All-Star Game, the first coming in 1995 when they played at The Ballpark in Arlington. In that game, the NL edged the AL by a 3-2 score and the Marlins’ Jeff Conine (pinch-hit go-ahead homer) was named MVP. This is the first time a defending World Series champion has hosted the All-Star Game since 1939.
