Texas once again brought scorching temperatures to the All-Star Game. It was 99 degrees outside when the 94th Midsummer Classic began on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field, where the retractable roof was closed. Inside the stadium, it felt much cooler at 74 degrees.
When the Texas Rangers first hosted the game in 1995 at their old open-air ballpark across the street, there was no roof or air-conditioning. The game-time temperature then was 96 degrees, and it felt even hotter.

The day before, Monday, the temperature peaked at 101 degrees while the All-Star workout and Home Run Derby took place inside the retractable-roof stadium, which opened in 2020.
