2019 Baseball Stadium Tour --First Tennesse Park

Planning our trip to back from the World Series Nashville became a logical stop because the Sounds were home. Sometimes you hit stadiums you want to because the schedules work out.. other times you are stuck with whatever works in the schedule. Lucky for me Nashville Sounds were pretty high up on the list of teams I won't mind visiting mainly because there's a ton to do in Nashville besides baseball.

First Tennessee Park, the home of the Nashville Sounds was built in 2015 in a relatively industrial area of town. It is getting more commercial and residential but it is going to take awhile. We actually ended up parking a couple blocks from the stadium in a sketchy business parking lot. I wasn't too keen on leaving the car there but the hubby decided it was safe. And it was. Next time we will have a better idea of the area so we should be able to get closer parking.

The stadium itself is very spectator friendly and open. There is mini golf for families. There are lawn games in one of the bar areas. It also for a lot of mingling while watching the game. The hubby didn't want to play mini golf. I was slightly disappointed. It would have been fun to play golf at a ballpark.

One unique feature of First Tennessee Park is the scoreboard. It is shaped like a guitar. The give-away as a replica scoreboard picture frame. We made sure we came home with two of them.

We had great seats and were only a few rows from the field. The game was a typical AAA game. Nothing really special but it was good fun.

Milwaukee has the racing sausages. DC has the racing presidents. Nashville has racing Country Stars. Dolly, Johnny, and two of there friends race along foul territory. You gotta root for Johnny but Dolly was the winner when we were there.

Great ballpark. We would definitely go back if we are in the area. Hopefully in the future they will remedy the parking situation and make the area around it more ballpark friendly.
