City officials and the new owners of the Nashville Sounds are beginning to explore sites that could support a new ballpark for the Triple-A team. So far, three sites have been identified, including one near the Titans’ LP Field.
The talks follow the conclusion of the Sounds' inaugural season under new owners, MFP Real Estate LLC, a New York-based holding company led by partners Frank Ward, Steve Posner and Masahiro Honzawa.
The group kicked off their tenure by pumping $2.5 million worth of renovations into aging Greer Stadium, a move billed as a recommitment to the team's fan-base. From the outset, the new ownership also expressed a desire to ultimately move into a new ballpark, preferably downtown.
The city had been in talks with the franchise’s previous owner and developer Struever Bros., but those talks broke down.
Greer Stadium was built in 1978 and enlarged to 17,000 seats in 1988. About 5,000 of general admission seats have been taken out to create a picnic area. The stadium includes a restaurant. (BaseballMinor, Facilities, Financial, Professional Sports)
