FROM NEW YORK Major League Baseball rolled out a red carpet yesterday afternoon that stretched from 40th Street to Central Park South (a total of 19 city blocks) and covered more than 95,000 square feet of the Avenue of the Americas. The floor covering was for the All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade presented by Chevy, and over the course of two hours, the members of this year’s All-Star teams and 49 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame (who were transported in the backs of pick-up trucks).

Though red in hue, the carpet was green in design and construction. Created by California-based firm Bentley Prince Street Inc., the parade’s largest production element was made entirely of recycled fibers. Green-e renewable energy certificates and the use of on-site solar power also offset any electricity used during the carpet’s construction. MORE >>

Bon Jovi's Central Park Show Launches Week of All-Star Game Celebrations

FROM NEW YORK Festivities for Tuesday's Major League Baseball All-Star Game kicked into high gear on Saturday with Bon Jovi’s highly anticipated concert on Central Park’s Great Lawn. An estimated 48,500 people (many of them from New Jersey) attended the show, which was free for those who didn't get their tickets from scalpers.

Though plans were only finalized two weeks ahead of time, fans turned out in droves to pick up tickets the day after the July 1 announcement. All 60,000 tickets were given away almost instantly, but an extra 7,500 were distributed in the days leading up to the show to extend the opportunity to other fans. Many die-hards had already shelled out as much as $1,000 to scalpers for the free pass, which didn’t even guarantee admittance. Despite the 67,500 tickets, the Department of Parks & Recreation was adamant that only 50,000 would be allowed to attend the show, so the particularly anxious started lining up the day before.
