The MLB Speedway Classic was held at Bristol Motor Speedway, known as 'The Last Great Colosseum.' Cincinnati's manager Terry Francona noted the impressive scale of the venue. Francona praised the design of the stands, which enhance the viewing experience. This event marks MLB’s initiative to introduce baseball to new locations, following previous games at iconic sites. Tennessee has a vibrant sports culture despite lacking an MLB team. The festivities included performances, attractions, and interactive activities for fans, underscoring the event's significance in sports entertainment.
"When you walk up to Bristol Motor Speedway, much like many of our venues, you know you're at a big iconic sports location... And that's what Bristol Motor Speedway is for NASCAR."
"The way the stands kind of all face in, the ones they're using, it looks pretty cool."
"The MLB Speedway Classic was first announced nearly a year ago as part of commissioner Rob Manfred's push to take MLB to places where baseball isn't played every day live."
"You feel it. You walk into Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, you feel it."
