Background on the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol (LMB) and its Significance
The Liga Mexicana de Beisbol (LMB) is a professional baseball league in Mexico, celebrating its 91st All-Star Game in 2025 as part of the league’s centennial anniversary. The All-Star Game is a special event, bringing together the best players from LMB teams to compete against a Mexican National Team.
Weather Conditions Force Event Extension
Heavy rainfall on the weekend in Mexico City disrupted the All-Star Game schedule. Initially planned for Sunday, June 29th at 7:00 PM, the game was moved to Monday, June 30th at 4:00 PM due to persistent rain.
The Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium, known for its modernity and advanced facilities, hosted the event. Despite being filled to capacity by enthusiastic fans who had spent over 15,000 pesos on tickets, the game could only commence with half of the first inning played before heavy rain forced another postponement.
Fan Reactions and Concerns
Many fans expressed their disappointment over the poor planning and scheduling, especially considering the ongoing rainy season in Mexico City. Some attendees, like Javier from Navojoa, Sonora, criticized the late-night event timing and the lack of consideration for weather conditions.
A family from León, Guanajuato, and a couple from Torreón, Coahuila, shared their travel expenses, which ranged from 16,000 to 18,000 pesos. While some accepted the situation with relative calm, others were unable to attend the rescheduled game due to work commitments on Monday morning.
Ticket Costs and Additional Expenses
All-Star Game tickets ranged from 330 to 2,900 pesos. However, fans also incurred additional costs for beverages, food, souvenirs, and parking, with the latter amounting to an extra 350 pesos.
Uncertain Future of the All-Star Game
As of Monday, June 30th, the LMB awaits clear skies to determine whether the centennial All-Star Game can conclude or face further postponement, according to The Weather Channel’s 34% probability of isolated thunderstorms in Mexico City by 4:00 PM.
