By scheduling a game at Bristol Motor Speedway, MLB is adding another venue to its list for special events. In recent seasons, the league has scheduled games at the Field of Dreams in Iowa, the historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, and Williamsport, Pennsylvania, site of the Little League World Series.
The league has also expanded its international schedule with games in London, Mexico City, Tokyo and Seoul.
Bristol is no stranger to special events, as it hosts two NASCAR races per year that draw nearly 150,000 spectators. In 2016, the venue hosted a college football game between Tennessee and Virginia Tech that drew a crowd of 156,990, the largest ever for an NCAA football game.
The Braves have been one of the top teams in the National League over the past few seasons, while the Reds are led by one of the most exciting players in the majors, shortstop Elly De La Cruz.
Fans will certainly be pumped to watch Atlanta and Cincinnati battle it out at Bristol next year.
