The Chicago Cubs’ bid to host the 2027 All-Star Game is reportedly “gaining momentum,” with indications that the game may be awarded to them later this summer, although no final decision has been made. MLB has expressed security concerns regarding the event in the densely populated Wrigleyville area, prompting an alderman to propose a $30 million project to enhance safety around Wrigley Field, with the Cubs expected to contribute at least $8 million. Wrigley Field has previously hosted the All-Star Game thrice, with the last occurrence in 1990, and MLB typically announces host cities two years in advance.
