Major League Baseball has decided against moving forward with the idea of potentially holding a regular-season game at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
Johnny Flores Jr. of The Athletic obtained a letter sent by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred to Teton County officials. In it, Manfred noted that MLB had done “due diligence” on Grand Teton National Park as a potential site for a game, but ultimately opted to not pursue it any further.
“That said, since the story was reported, it has become clear the local community does not want us to continue evaluating Grand Teton National Park as a potential site,” Manfred wrote. “We obviously would not bring a game to a community that has concerns about the venue, and will not continue to evaluate Grand Teton National Park as a potential site.”
