MLB fans are gathering in Seattle ahead of the All-Star Game, which is expected to see a protest from activists and the homeless just hours before the game begins.
The majority of people who spoke to Fox News Digital outside the stadium, however, said they had not heard of the protest and were overall happy with how city was handling the influx of visitors for the Midsummer Classic.
Alice, who is also from the Seattle area, said a potential protest might disturb festivities, but that the big game will likely outweigh any disruptions from an RV protest. "People are here for the game, and they're going to be wrapped up in how the Home Run Derby goes today. It might impact people's opinion of Seattle, but they're here for the game," Alice said.
"The city’s homelessness response has had a steady and consistent focus on SODO over the last year and a half due to a high concentration of RVs and tents. We have not changed this process or approach in the lead up to the All-Star Game," the mayor’s office said at the time.
