Reds are making a push for a 2013 ASG in Cincy

Honestly, I am not overly optimistic. There are a lot of teams with new stadiums waiting their turn too and the Reds have had an ASG more recently than some. With The Banks project, convention center, etc you would think the Reds would have a shot at maybe 2015/2017, but I really think the Mets will get the next NL spot personally.

Arizona was just awarded the 2011 All-Star Game. The Reds are pushing to get the next one available for an NL city. That's in 2013.
“We’re pushing hard on it,” said Karen Forgus, the club’s senior vice-president of baseball operations. “We’re actively pursuing. Bob Castellini is always telling (Commissioner) Bud Selig what a great place Cincinnati is.”

One of the reasons the club so aggressively sought the Civil Rights Game was to show off the city to MLB.

“We want to illustrate how great of a city Cincinnati is,” Forgus said.

Would be nice, but I'm pretty doubtful myself. To many bigger markets that could easily jump ahead of us.
