PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The Capital One All-Star Village at the Pennsylvania Convention Center opens to the public Saturday morning, offering fans an expansive, hands-on celebration of baseball ahead of the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n

The attraction spans an overwhelming, awe-inspiring experience inside the convention center, featuring interactive displays and two baseball diamonds where visitors can test their skills.<\/p>\n

Senior Manager of Global Events for MLB Robert Field said the space is designed to give fans room to explore.<\/p>\n

“500,000 ft. they’re able to eat, they’re able to play, they’re able to buy merchandise,” he said.<\/p>\n

Food offerings highlight ballpark favorites from around the country, including a 9th inning Sombrero from the home of the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n

“It’s made for four people; you get a bunch of chips and dips in the middle. It’s supposed to be fun for the entire family,” said Jim Wolf with Aramark.<\/p>\n

The village also features virtual reality experiences and appearances from baseball stars.<\/p>\n

“We have Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard doing their podcast here on Tuesday,” Field said.<\/p>\n

Just down the hall, the MLB Draft stage will host one of the weekend’s most anticipated moments.<\/p>\n

“The commissioner will come out; he’ll say the pick is in, and life will change for some great athletes,” Field said.<\/p>\n

The All-Star Village is a ticketed event and opens to the public at 9 a.m. Saturday, running through Tuesday for the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n

The Benjamin Franklin Bridge will close to vehicle traffic from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday due to a 100-year birthday celebration. Fans are being encouraged to plan ahead.<\/p>\n
