Major League Baseball on Tuesday unveiled the first look at Capital One All-Star Village, MLB’s hallmark fan festival that comes to Arlington for All-Star Week from July 13-16. All-Star Village features appearances from legendary players, dozens of interactive baseball-themed attractions for fans of all ages – including a Ferris Wheel – and Capital One PLAY BALL PARK, where kids can play informal ballgames on different sized diamonds throughout All-Star Week. Capital One All-Star Village encompasses the Texas Rangers former home, Choctaw Stadium, which will hold PLAY BALL PARK, as well as the Arlington Entertainment District’s North Lawn and Esports Stadium Arlington + Expo Center, which will play host to meet-and-greets with legends of the game, panel discussions, video games, food, baseball art, historic exhibits and more. After more than 30 years of hosting fan festivals at MLB All-Star Week, this is the first time that one will take place inside a former MLB ballpark when the Capital One PLAY BALL PARK section of All-Star Village takes over Choctaw Stadium. Watch this video for a first look at Capital One All-Star Village.
