MLB Speedway Classic between Braves and Reds set to break attendance record

Major League Baseball will soon see one of its highest-attended games ever on August 2.

MLB announced that the Speedway Classic, featuring the Atlanta Braves vs. the Cincinnati Reds, at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, has already sold over 85,000 tickets.

The game is set to surpass the previous regular-season game attendance record of 84,587, established on Sept. 12, 1954, when Cleveland Stadium hosted the New York Yankees.

August 2 will not only feature the game, but also concerts headlined by Jake Owen, Tim McGraw, and Pitbull.

It will also be the first MLB game ever in the state of Tennessee.
