MLB won’t consider game at Grand Teton National Park, says was only conducting initial due diligence

Major League Baseball (MLB) has decided not to consider staging a game in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, according to a letter from Commissioner Rob Manfred. The team had only been conducting initial due diligence on various potential sites when the story about Grand Teton being under consideration was reported. Manfred stated that MLB had not made a decision on the feasibility of staging a game in the park and had not yet reached the stage where they evaluated the environmental impact or spoke to community members.

The local community had expressed concerns about the venue, leading MLB to conclude that they would not continue evaluating Grand Teton National Park as a potential site.
