Cobb County staff says 2025 MLB All‑Star Game operations went as planned after multiagency tabletop exercise
Summary
A Cobb County staff member said the county planned for months and executed a tabletop exercise with MLB, the Atlanta Braves and federal and state partners before the 2025 Major League Baseball All‑Star Game in Atlanta; cleanup and after‑action meetings were scheduled next.
Cobb County staff said the county’s months‑long planning for the 2025 Major League Baseball All‑Star Game in Atlanta culminated in a large tabletop exercise and that operations “went off just as we planned it.”
The remarks matter because the event drew tens of thousands of fans and residents to Truist Park, The Battery Atlanta and the Galleria, requiring coordination among county departments, Major League Baseball and other agencies to manage public safety and logistics.
An unidentified Cobb County staff member summarized the county’s preparations and immediate next steps in brief remarks. “Well, that's a wrap. The 2025 Major League Baseball All‑Star Game has come to a conclusion here in Atlanta where tens of thousands of fans and residents came down to Truist Park, the Battery Atlanta, and over at the Galleria to take in all the festivities,” the staff member said. The speaker said planning “started months and months ago with a series of strategy meetings” and was capped by “a huge tabletop exercise at a big ballroom” that included Major League Baseball, the Atlanta Braves, federal and state stakeholders, and Cobb County officials.
The staff member characterized the event as successful: “It was a tremendous event. Nearly every Cobb County department played some role in making this event a success.” According to the remarks, the county’s immediate follow‑up actions were cleanup and convening after‑action meetings to review the response and operations.
The remarks reported only planning and review activities; they did not announce any new county policy, funding decisions or formal actions. The speaker identified no specific performance metrics, timelines for after‑action reports, or department assignments tied to the next steps.
County officials and outside partners were described as participants in the tabletop exercise but no individual names, positions, or formal directives were provided in the remarks. The staff member said the event was “capped off” by the tabletop exercise and that subsequent steps included cleanup and after‑action review meetings.
The county’s statement provides an initial summary of coordination and immediate follow up after the All‑Star event; officials did not release further details about findings from the tabletop exercise or a schedule for any public after‑action report during these remarks.
