MLB Abandons Grand Teton Game Plan After Local Outrage
Major League Baseball has officially dropped its proposal to host a game at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Commissioner Robert Manfred confirmed the decision in a letter to Teton County officials on October 2, citing strong local opposition. The idea, first reported by The Washington Post on September 26, involved MLB approaching the White House and having National Park Service staff scout sites. While no permits were issued and the White House denied it was a presidential priority, the backlash from conservationists and local leaders forced the league to withdraw the plan.
