The 2010 All-Star Game will be played in Angels Stadium in 2010, according to a report in today’s LA Times. The announcement is to be made on Wednesday by Commissioner Selig.

The game is scheduled for Tuesday, July 13, with a fan festival at the Anaheim Convention Center extending from the previous weekend through game day.

The Angels and the city of Anaheim worked together to secure the All-Star game, even as the two sides prepared for another round in court.

In related news, it is also being reported that Dodger Stadium will host the finals for the 2009 World Baseball Classic, but that Selig is not expected to announce that news at the press conference on Wednesday.

The last ASG was played in Dodger Stadium in 1980.

The last All-Star Game in the Los Angeles area was hosted in 1989 at Angel Stadium. The attendance of 64,036 remains he fourth-largest in All-Star game history, behind the three games played at Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
