I think the article might actually be talking about the 2010 game. I haven't seen anything announced for it yet and the 2009 game was at Holyoke (West Division), so I'd think the 2010 one would be at an East Division team (like North Shore) and 2011 would be back in the West. I'm not sure on that though. The 2009 ASG in Holyoke set an All-Star Game attendance record of 4,906.

Thanks for the clarification. It'll be interesting to see how the attendance fares. Newport is consistently at the top of the league in attendance, whereas Holyoke (last year's game) is around 4th or 5th. However, Holyoke is FAR more centrally located than Newport in New England, right at the intersection of routes 91 and 90.
