Are you ready for some baseball?
It’s true that more people are thinking right about now (Jan 26) about football and the Superbowl.
But Nashville’s mayor and the Nashville Sounds are thinking about a warmer weather sport: baseball! On Monday, they hosted a groundbreaking for Nashville’s new minor league ballpark.
The stadium, appropriately, will be built on the old Sulphur Dell stadium, in the Germantown area of town. Some of our most seasoned, historic Nashvillians can talk to you for hours about the old Sulphur Dell era.
The new stadium is expected to be completed by the 2015 season. Developers expect that it will pump even more energy into an already revitalized area. Besides the draw of the stadium itself, with some 8,500 seats, there will be new walkways, new restaurants, new condos or other residences, simply a new spirit of community. The new stadium will provide a family-friendly resource, perhaps a “home run!” for all.
Welcome, new stadium.
