On the Grid : First Tennessee Park (Sounds Stadium)

"For a good time, call 1-800-Sounds. No really. This ballpark was voted best minor league fan experience. Sure, you can grab a seat and be a classic fan. Or you could skip the peanuts and cracker jacks, pass go, and make a line drive to right field, where 4,000 square feet of fun awaits. The Band Box is an outdoor bar, restaurant, and game mecca (games at a game? So meta). Try your hand at corn hole or ping pong while your other hand tries a whiskey and coke icee. Or chomp on the Band Box Dog, stuffed with pimento cheese, potato chips, pickled onion, and pure joy. This is what a home run feels like." - redpepper

Where to Cool Off in Nashville With Boozy Frozen Drinks

"When asking Nashvillians about their go-to frozen drinks around town, many of them immediately cite The Band Box. The outdoor venue at First Tennessee Park serves a George Dickel Whiskey and Coke Icee and a Field of Dreamsicle featuring Pickers blood orange vodka. And both pack quite a punch." - Clara Wang, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff

First Horizon Park – Sports Venue Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Give us the big picture: What’s the vibe of the place, what’s it like? The new stadium for the Nashville Sounds has an air of nostalgia, like an old-timey ballpark from a 1950's movie. While it honors a favorite American pastime, it still has all the modern amenities you'll want for when you're out with friends or the kids. What kinds of events can we see here? Baseball games from April through September, and the occasional concert or special event. How are the seats? It's a smaller park since it's home to a AAA team (an affiliate of the Oakland A's). But that means every seat has a view. If you're looking to socialize, buy a ticket to the 4,000-square-foot Band Box, located in right field. It has a bar, ping-pong tables, and elevated park food, such as smoked pork nachos and a Korean fried chicken sandwich with sorghum Sriracha glaze. Is it good for kids? Kids will love First Horizon Park. There's even a nine-hole mini-golf course, called the Country Club, if they get bored with the baseball. Anything in particular that makes this place special, from the programming to a unique feature it has? The Country Club and the Band Box are the park's true standouts. Where else can you go watch a game while also working on your putting or playing cornhole? If we’re going to be in town, what—and who—do you think this is best for? A family night out in the warm summer months." - Kristin Luna

Nashville was home to me for 20 years before I moved to Florida. After a 5-year absence, I finally went back, and my son and his wife took me to a Sounds game. It’s a very nice minor league stadium with plenty of dining and drink options. There’s a little something for everyone. Plus, it was a great game. We won! The place is clean and secure, and everyone I interacted with was super nice and friendly. Food prices are what you’d expect from a sports venue, but the quality was excellent—everything we had tasted great. If you're in town for a few days, I highly recommend catching a game here as part of your visit. You'll have a great time!

Amazing! This was easy to navigate and get around. We were there for the cosmic tour. Soooo much fun with the black lights and all the silly fun things we did there.

Overall great experience. Park was clean, the field is well maintained, and I'm not sure there's a bad seat in the place. It's not very handicap friendly though. My husband has limited mobility and uses a cane to walk. We couldn't find a good way to get in and out without walking forever, the parking attendant pointed out the farthest handicapped parking spots from the field, and after you jump through hoops to get in and to your seat, you have to walk further to pickup hot dog/drink tickets for the Kroger family tickets. It's really just too much. I hope the stadium will take steps to be more accessible to those with mobility challenges.

If you're a baseball fan, and you're ever visiting Nashville, go see the Sounds. It's a fun atmosphere, ticket prices are reasonable, their swag is cool lookin and getting out to meet the local fans is a blast. There are some great people in Tennessee!

I've lived in Nashville for 51 years. My kids and I are avid sports fans. While the Sounds aren't the biggest sports name in town, First Horizon is definitely the stadium with the most bang for your buck. Outside of the game, they offer many fun things to do. Ping pong, cornhole, basketball, mini golf, and a booth with a radar gun so you can see how fast you can throw a baseball. Most of these things are free of charge! My kids also love the soft serve ice cream in the little helmets. If you have kids, you should really check it out.

Have been here for a few games now and it has been fun every time. We just saw Cosmic Baseball and it was on another level. Look forward to more baseball games in the future.

Wow, our first time here. What a great ballpark. The seats had a very nice cushion to sit on, there are multiple multiple food choices, with prices you would normally find at a ballpark. The staff was wonderful the bathrooms were clean and the crowd control and flow was very good. There is lots of ample parking within a short walking distance, free and paid parking. It was never a dull moment with lots of videos and crowd shots on the jumbotron.

I was at First Horizon Park for Pizza City Fest Nashville and not a baseball game. This is a nice clean large venue. The attendance was much less than the capacity of this stadium. There were ample restrooms, power to keep the pizza ovens going, and the beverage service was good. I'd easily return!

First Horizon Park is home of the Nashville Sounds, the pride and joy of the Nashville locals that love the game of baseball! The team is a Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, so it's really cool to watch the journey of some of the players, both ways. The park itself is one of my favorite ballparks. From the concessions, to the pro shop to the extracurriculars you can take part in before, during or after the game. Speaking of, this includes basketball, mini golf, cornhole and several other games. The concessions, namely The Band Box is an absolute favorite! Honestly spend more time bellied up to the bar than I do in my seat! The park is easy to navigate, in good shape and clean on game days. Staff is usually friendly and helpful. Parking is plentiful with a few lots and a garage surrounding the park. I usually park in the garage near right field gates, as it's easy in/out and only costs $15. Another cool think about First Horizon is once the game is over, you don't have to go home just yet...you can hang out at one of the many restaurants and bars on the same block! Overall, love First Horizon!

This is a great minor league baseball stadium. Parking is easy in the adjacent parking garage or you can park anywhere in the city and walk here. Tickets are reasonably priced and they have lots of food vendors (lots of good restaurants are within walking distance too). The beer selection is great and much better than some MLB ballparks that we've been to before. The view of the game is great and I can't see any seat that wouldn't give you a great experience. We came on a Friday night so there were fireworks and they were much better than we were expecting and lasted longer too. It's a really nice ballpark all around we'll definitely be back for another game!

Alright, as a girly who's been in Nashville for years (7+) I've finally visited. I'm not a baseball extraordinaire but I do know a stadium. This was mid, probably should've expected that. Food was not bad but it wasn't...good, could probably eat way better before, at so many local spots (like park early eat and walk, trust me) $11 & $12 for ALL beer+wine, $13 plus for an any kinda sugar cocky mix they made a few days ago. You can get a miller/bud/coors light for $4 tho so that's nice to watch the game with :)

While driving around downtown Nashville on my first full day, I passed by the main gates of First Horizon Park. I saw that it was the home of the Nashville Sounds. The team is in the minor leagues and is the triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. It was a hot day and this ballpark was closed. Instead, I drove around it to check things out. Entrances are clearly marked. Centre and right fields have their own entrance. I'm sure that there are others, but was more focused on getting a glimpse of the playing field. Next to the latter field is the ticket office. The catch is the guitar-shaped scoreboard. You are able to see the score when you're seated in the ballpark. Sadly, I only was able to see the back of it. It still looked cool, though. I don't know whether concerts are held here. I can see it happening on a cooler day than when I was there. Otherwise, with the heat, you could roast hot dogs and you seated in the bleachers, I'd imagine. I like that there are restaurants and bars around this ballpark. If you want to grab a bite before or after the game, you can. There are parking lots nearby. I don't know how crazy they get when there's a game. They were pretty quiet when I was there in the early afternoon of a non-game day. It was nice passing by this ballpark. It looked pretty new and I'm sure that you can get a great view of the playing field no matter where you sit. (263)

Our company had an outing! And what an experience. We had access to the tent where there was ballpark food. Friendly staff and we had great seats, mainly we hung out at the top and walked around. Beautiful stadium! Love all the new areas putt putt, table tennis and signature cocktails.

Came here for a Sounds baseball game on a Wednesday night. The ballpark is awesome! However the concessions stand above the third baseline was terrible. Ordered chicken, rang me up and paid for it, but they were out (in the third inning!). Extremely rude customer service. Didn't know how to work the register to give me a refund. Every customer around me was frustrated. It was terrible customer service. But the mascot was fun. Got pictures with him. I came with a group that included 3 small kids; each one received a baseball from a player or coach which was really cool.

From a cold hot dog bun to an overcrowded ballpark because they combined Star Wars & Boy Scout night on the same day to storm troopers walking all over this joint, this is the WORST ballpark experience I've ever had. Idiots having "lightsaber" fights in the crowded concourse...POORLY BEHAVED CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT BEING WATCHED, even in premium seats. And whoever designed this place is an idiot - who only covers two rows of the club level seats and about five rows of the regular seats? I paid MLB prices for this? Okay, the guitar scoreboard is kitschy. The mini golf course & corn hole games? I had to navigate through THAT bottleneck because there are no signs pointing you to to anything from outside. This is my 78th ballpark and by far the worst experience yet.

This is home of the Nashville Sounds minor league baseball team. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! Everything was so clean and organizes. Lots of choices for food and drink. I would recommend the whiskey and coke slushy. Great on a humid day. I also had their chicken tenders which were off the chart good. There was so much flavor and they were perfectly cooked. We actually took an order to go. Having that for lunch today. Baseball team is awesome and there is not a bad seat in the stadium.

I got a "behind the scenes" tour of the park about a month ago and I was surprised at how impressive this ball park looks. The food options look amazing; Smokehouse BBQ, Hot or not Chicken, pizza, funnel cakes, and mini melts Ice cream. The bars here are fully loaded and I'm very excited to check-out the Band Box which is a bar right in front of the outdoor Picnic Place and Power Alley seating area. The place to park is near the center field entrance which is within walking distance to a paid parking garage. Before I left, I bought some Nashville Sounds gear a couple of hats and a shirt to get ready for the season, but then COVID-19 hit and halted all sports and outdoor activities. Hopefully this season won't be too impacted, and the healthy Nashville masses can return to the park and cheer on the home team.

Great ballpark to take a child to their first baseball game -- clean, safe & well managed. The event staff at every level & aspect of the scheduled activities are seemingly focused on providing an inviting & memorable experience for the attendees. We were part of a corporate sponsor group attending the game last night in one of four field level hospitality suites. What a way to experience the game. Great seat's & helpful staff. The pro shop is amazing and filled with the gear one would expect to find plus items you didn't know you needed! Parking is close by as well as several eateries for pregame meals.

I really like First Tennessee Park. It is home to both the minor league team the Nashville Sounds, and the Nashville Soccer Club. I've been here to see both and both were equally as fun. The stadium itself is centrally located downtown near the Nashville Farmer's Market and the capitol. There is plenty of parking surrounding the stadium and there are always police officers there to help guide people. The staff at the stadium are super nice and security lines are quick and painless. The restrooms are clean and there are multiple food vendors. Even if you aren't a big sports fan I introduce to you the band box. The band box is a huge bar next to a lounge and game area. There is corn hole and ping pong among other games. You could literally spend the entire game doing things besides watching the actual baseball or soccer game. Although I like how open the stadium is when it is cold and/or inclement weather you are pretty exposed to the elements. There are some vendors under a covered area but most of the stadium is not covered. In my opinion, a day at First Tennessee Park is a day well spent.

If you love baseball and having a great time, you've got to check out First Horizon Park! Home of AAA Minor League Nashville Sounds, the guitar shaped scoreboard helps you remember you are in the Music City. Check out the "Band Box" in right field for alcoholic slushies, cornhole, and ping pong. Right next to it is a 9 hole mini golf (that my kids MUST play every time we come). When you come here, you get the best of both worlds: professional baseball and a good time. Thousands of people each week purchase general admission tickets for like $10 to have some beverages and hang out at the stadium. Several great restaurants in the area around the stadium. Even a brand new bowling alley music venue.

Where can you go to properly celebrate Memorial Day weekend in Nashville?? First Tennessee Park to see a Nashville Sounds baseball game, of course. It was everything you'd expect from the experience from the smell of hot dogs roasting to the snippets of pop music blasting in between breaks to the finale of fireworks on center field. The breeze was a welcome gift to the sweltering day, but we were in great spirits as the home team won 9 to 5. Nashville is such a blessed city to have not only the amazing Nashville Predators, but also our hometown Nashville Sounds. I've lived here all my life and still fall in love with our city every day.

Had a blast at the Nashville Sound game! We had a patio area reserved for a small send off for my son, future daughter in law and 18 of their closest friends! Our server, Courtney, was on point. You would've never known she's been off doing other things for the past 2 years. The drink and food prices were as you'd expect at a ball park. The quality of the food was very good. We had nachos, which seemed to be made to order and loved the queso and corn on them. Lots of people ordered burgers, which came wrapped in foil, so not made to order, but def fresh! I ordered the hotdog -when at a baseball game, what else do you get?! I loved that it came with mustard, catsup and relish on the side. It was really good! Did I mention the food came almost instantly?! Courtney def got her steps in last night! The drinks also came super quick. I was drinking margaritas, and even though I knew they came from a can, they were served with a slice of lime. Nice touch! The greatest part was being able to take our masks off while in our bubble in the patio. If we needed to leave the area, masks on. To top off the enjoyment, we stayed for the epic fireworks! What a super night, in a super city, watching a game and having literally, a BALL!

Wow! First Horizon Park is a stellar upgrade for a home field for the Sounds. It's one of the best AAA parks I've been to and there's not a bad seat in the house. Views of the field, views of the Nashville skyline, proper coverage to protect you from the heat a bit. Nice layout with plenty of vendor and booth space including bars. Prices on concessions are what you'd expect but better than the Major leagues. The food is mostly really good ballpark food, too. It's a great place to see a baseball game.

This place is great! I recommend going on Thursdays, because it's $2 beer night! Also, there are plenty of activities outside of watching baseball. The park also features the field-adjacent bar The Band Box, complete with ping pong tables, mini golf, and cornhole. You're also right in the heart of Germantown, so there's plenty to do before/after the game. You can even watch the game from the nearby restaurant Third and Home! Definitely a cool area. Happily, Clayton Cohn

Was so excited to visit this ballpark. Disappointed/epic fail is my review. I wore a small over the shoulder purse which was about 1" too big. It contained my small credit card sized wallet, phone and hotel key. NOT ALLOWED, TOO BIG. Security suggested I lock purse in my car. MY CAR IS AT AN OUT OF STATE AIRPORT. Asked if I could have my husband go to merch store and purchase a clear bag, empty contents into it and roll my empty purse for entry. NOPE. I offered to empty my purse contents in their security tray. NOPE. There was no wiggle room. None!!!! I ended up stashing my empty purse in a security dudes pick up truck so I could enter the park. Obviously not a comfortable feeling. We grabbed a beer, a dog, a few pictures, and quickly left. Visiting was a bucketlist trip. Glad I went but completely disappointed with the whole visit. What frustrated most, inside I noticed parents carrying very large diaper bags, and several fans with non-clear purses and drawstring bags way larger than my tiny fabric purse. The ballpark is beautiful. But some of these rules, come on!!!! Truly didn't meet any staff that made this visit special. I even asked a gal what was being built behind the park, apartments? She had no clue. You failed me, Nash. You failed this HUGE baseball fan. Glad I saw you, will NEVER come back.

3.5/5 First Tennessee Park is a beautiful stadium! It is home to the Nashville Sounds and, most recently, Nashville SC. I was able to enjoy my first visit to FTP for a NSC game! The intimacy of a smaller stadium made the atmosphere so much more exciting. FTP offers a comfortable (as can be) seating, clean bathrooms, a patio-esque area with couches, connect four, shuffle board, putt putt, etc, clean bathrooms, and well laid out entrance and seating areas. A couple concerns are the limited parking in proximity to FTP and lack of beer choices. Parking I think will come over time as Nashville continues to develop. Lack of beer was odd as the bar did not even have the options that were listed on their menu. They had quite a few can selections throughout the stadium, but if you wanted draft, you had to go all the way back to the one location that serves it. Food was as to be expected for a ball park - mediocre. I'm looking forward to coming back for Sounds and NSC games!

Nice field. The entire experience is pleasant. The views from the seats are clear. There are many activities for families, including miniature golf. There are many parking options. The team website clearly details where to park. It is worth the price of a ticket to see Johnny Cash race against Dolly Parton.

Great venue all around. Many things to do at this ballpark, such as ping pong, pitching, basketball, mini golf, cornhole, and more. The Band Box bar is one of the best I've been to, and every seat in the stadium is a good one. Also, if you ask you almost certainly will receive a used ball from the bullpen or dugout. 10/10 from me.

What?? I wanted to give the park a 5 star rating but I fully recognize that my experience was a bit out of the norm so I lowered it to a 4. That said, it's obvious that money, time and effort went into the park and as it welcomes club soccer to Nashville and continues to house the Sounds, I look forward to FTP having even more visitors and adding even more excitement to Nashville. It's pretty unusual for a city to have its sports venues within a few miles of each other. Yet, Downtown Nashville holds FTB and Bridgestone Arena while Nissan Stadium sort of anchors its own neighborhood just across the river. This means that during games/concerts, getting around is even more of a chore than it is regularly. Hopefully this will be the impetus to increase pedestrian traffic/access to/in Music City. Wow. Tangent. Sorry. FTP... it wasn't an accident that Nashville baseball traveled from Greer to FTP. Nashville is making power moves and, right now, the nucleus of those moves is Downtown. You have to follow the money. If you're confused, might I suggest you look up? Yeah. Cranes. High Rises. Gleaming shiny buildings. You see where I'm going? FTP fits well within this new(er) look. I came here (in theory) to watch the Sounds. In reality, I took advantage of the suite life. Much like its neighbor other arena/stadium, FTP appreciates its corporate benefactors and it's built out special places for them. To begin, there's a separate suite entry into the Park. With less traffic and a covered staircase, your ballpark experience already starts on a good note. From there, you make your way to the suite and... yes: a fantastic view of the field; private outdoor seating so you can really take in the game; private air-conditioned indoor seating so you can avoid the elements; all sorts of savory and sweet ballpark foods (hot dogs, pizza, gourmet chips, salads, cookies, brownies, etc.); and more booze than a Real New Jersey Housewife could drink (wine, beer, liquor). Do you need anything else for a ball game? No. No you don't. Obviously, taking in a Sounds game from this vantage point is 5-stars. Realizing, though, that enjoying a game at the Park isn't always like this, I didn't think it was fair to categorize every experience as the one I had. That said, the Park is shiny and new. The views are great. The location is central to transportation and post-game fun. The seats are comfortable and the staff is extremely helpful. FTP is better than some major league ballparks I've been to. As sports traffic to this venue continues to grow, I'm excited for more Middle Tennesseans to come enjoy the new, improved look of non-hockey/football. Play ball!

This is truly a lovely ballpark. I had the pleasure of visiting here for a Sounds game right after it first opened; sitting in the upper area with a bag of peanuts, a beer, and a nice breeze. I've returned since for a few Sounds games, all of which have been enjoyable. While I appreciate baseball, I'm not a huge fan. However, when FTP agreed to allow our then new USL soccer club, Nashville SC, to call this park home, I started visiting a lot more. FTP does a great job turning the diamond into a pitch, and more-than-tolerates us soccer supporters. It's nice to feel wanted. (Although some supporters are too rowdy for sure.) In fact, one vendor told me she prefers serving the soccer crowd over the baseball folks. She couldn't really explain why other than soccer supporters are just as nice...but "cooler". Haha. Security is painless (and is lax in my opinion if I'm gonna be blunt -- except when they break your handbag), the bathrooms have a great layout and seem to be clean most of the time, part of the venue is covered which helps immensely when unexpected, undesirable weather strikes, and overall the venue is easy to navigate. Positives aside, l'll give three reasons why I deducted two stars: 1. Parking. With the recent developments of restaurants and housing around the park (thanks to Nashville ever-growing), it's become a lot harder to find parking. It looks like FTP is building an addition, and I don't know what it intends to house. Perhaps a garage?!? 2. Recent beer selection...has sucked. Not everybody and their mama wants an IPA, or a cider, or fruit in their beer. Will somebody please throw in a brown or a red ale somewhere?! Anywhere?!?! Draft. Can. Whatever. I'll take it. And no, don't give me a stout and call it a brown. That's crap. I walked around to every beer station, and then into the new Twice Daily cooler thinking for sure I'd find a brown or a red ale *somewhere*. Nope. Look, I know it's summer, but if you're gonna sell a stout.... 3. The Pro Shop is closed on match days. I get we are there to watch a soccer match, so the Sounds' Pro Shop isn't necessarily going to be the first choice amongst attendees to shop. The Titans kept their Pro Shop closed too in the past, but I think it was eventually realized they were missing out on some decent sales. I noticed they started selling a few other handy items in their store (e.g. mini tubes of sunscreen) and opening during sporting events that aren't NFL games -- such as when the USMNT and USWNT are playing at Nissan. Smart. The Sounds' Pro Shop should take note. And if USL Nashville SC is going to stay at FTP until at least 2022 (I don't know if they are - jus' sayin'), perhaps they should be invited to sell their merch in the Pro Shop too instead of fooling with all those tents and such? A baseball and soccer team shop open during every game/match?!? That'd be American brilliancy.

Great minor league stadium. Love taking the whole family out for a good time. Burgers, dogs, beer, and icees we do it all. Great entertainment if you're a baseball fan. Fun times for those who are not as much into baseball but just want to get out. The have entertainment in between innings. They have corn hole, ping pong, and putt putt golf in the outfield. All for a pretty reasonable price. One of my favorite places to go every year.

This is such a great ballpark, great location, fab- and family-friendly night out. But this is my 2nd time here and I am STUNNED at how loud the "background" music is so loud that I honestly can't hear my family to talk to them--and they can't hear me. In all honesty, it so takes away from my enjoyment of the park, but I'm not sure I will ever come back. I love minor-league baseball, and I love loud music, But I don't love them together.

Had formal here, there were only two bartenders and the manager did not help the employees. They also knew the amount of people coming and did not accommodate to it. they did not play music for the first hour and had no food options for the guests

No better place to spend a summer evening in Nashville than in the right field of First Tennessee Park.

What a great minor league park! We went to see the Giants farm team ply the local A's farm team last weekend and it was an absolute blast! The park had a great beer and liquor garden and had live music before the game. They have tons of fun activities like ping pong and cornhole to enjoy before during or after the game. Tickets were next to nothing even for front row right between home and 1st. The beers were around what you'd expect to pay for beer at a ballpark, but nowhere near as outrageous at $8 vs $12.50 back in SF at ATT park... All in all, great stadium, small, but with a big league park feel, definitely a great place to bring the family. I have heard there are tons of social events here as well that we will have to come back for. Enjoy the park!!

Great Park and Well Done Nashville on getting a new stadium! Hopefully we will have soccer there too. I have yet to experience a suite, however had a wonderful time at the game. If you don't like baseball, there are other things to do while your friends, family or significant other watches America's favorite past time. Food is nice of course, there are shows about how the food at every ball park is slated specially for the city. Nashville has it's own hotdog, I can't remember but hot dog people will like it. I saw Hot chicken somewhere and of course booze to make it a party with well booze. Getting here is easy peasy, GET AN UBER or LYFT. Why bother drinking and driving or parking. Love that the city has things so close. Nashville is one of the easiest cities. Although prices are getting to steep for people who expect it to stay same as the 1990's, people are making the move here and giving the city money to make stadiums like these. We are quite blessed/lucky to have a new stadium and you should go out and enjoy it at least once while you stay or live in Nashville.

I've been to about ten Nashville Sounds games in my thirty years as a Nashvillian, the first in my preteen years with a church group. When the new park was first proposed, I was pretty reluctant. I'd never been to a game at more than 45% capacity. Although Nashville has a long history with baseball, the price tag of a new stadium at the expense of the city seemed to not be worth it. "But Brandi," my husband said, "with the new park, more people will go. It'll be worth it in the end." 'Kay. We went, and it is beautiful. There's no point in me being annoyed any more about the cost to the taxpayer as what's done is done. The new park is definitely working hard, doing its job breathing life into the Sounds. I don't know that I personally will go any more regularly than I have, as its fun an exciting but I'm not enough of a fan to be a regular. The games and food and shop were definitely worthwhile amenities for even the most "bored by baseball" member of your household. The park still was only at 45-50% capacity, so I'll let hat observation speak for itself.

What a fantastic field! I'm really not into baseball, but I would come to these games every weekend! The field/ stadium is smaller than a major league stadium, but that's what I love about it! I love the small, intimate setting. They have corn hole, good food, clean bathrooms, great drinks, icecream, mini golf, grass and stadium seating, a fantastic picnic area, ping pong tables... SO much fun!! I loved everything about this field, and will surely be back for another game!

have you ever wanted to spend five dollars on a bottle of water and have no access to a water fountain? first horizon park is for you! ever wanted terrible food and see SAD baseball grass and play that will make you miss your tiny little town little league park..... because the food there is better and so is the atmosphere? the music they play is sporadic and terrible....they have you covered for ESPN sound clips and thats about it. you thought you might hear some live organ play or even country music while staying in Nashville???? NOPE!! enjoy silence and nachos that will make you miss taco bell. it you ever wanted a baseball experience that made you miss the excitement of intramural lacrosse...they have you covered.

I hadn't been to the new ballpark for the Sounds since it opened, so when there was a faith and family night hosted by the school one of my kids goes to I decided to take the family. In summary: The park is nicer than the old one, for sure, but the food is terrible, IMO, and terribly overpriced. First, a note about faith and family night: there was a band that played a few sets prior to the game. Then it was over. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't that. It was over really quick and if you don't come in right when the gates opened you miss out. FYI. The park is comfortable and clean. I loved the fun areas: there was ping pong, something that looked like mini golf ($), and inflatables ($) that were a dollar for three tickets/ slides. The bathrooms were clean and everything looked really inviting to me. I bought several food items to give them a try for me and my family. No one ate their CHICKEN STRIPS or HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH (which was two chicken strips with chili powder on a bun). There were not tasty and we threw them out. Considering that these were $10.50 each, I threw out probably $45 worth of food. The WAFFLE FRIES are over cooked, but at least we ate them. Don't think Chick-fil-A here. There's a huge difference in quality and taste, IMO. As for snacks, the POPCORN was dry, but edible. But the hat we got had the old Sounds logo. It's been like 3 years now so why isn't the logo right? We also got DIPPING DOTS ice cream that had melted a bit so it was gooey instead of dry ice dots. The kids still liked it and no one got sick. The SUNFLOWER SEEDS were stale even though the expiration date was next year. The POPCYCLES were a mixed bag. Some kids liked it, some threw theirs away. In the end, the game was a win for the Sounds and our family time was rewarding. But this isn't a cheap outing. The tickets were about $15 plus fees (so like $23 or so) each. Plus the food was about $15 for tenders, fries and a drink. Snacks or dessert push the per family member cost to something like $50 each. For AAA baseball, that's a lot. Parking was cheap at least at $10. My recommendation: get tickets and parking and eat prior to going, then get unlimited popcorn for the kids. Nothing else. The cost and taste of the food just isn't worth it, IMO.

I must admit, I was probably the most excited girl in town to get a new ball park for the Sounds. Not only do I like ball park food more than I probably should, but I love having a nice new place to hang out in my neighborhood. Nestled in the middle of some (soon-to-be completed) construction in the North Capitol District, you will find one of the prettiest AAA ballparks you've ever seen. This place just screams Nashville. The scoreboard is a huge LED guitar. There is country music blasting, There are Goo Goo Cluster ads everywhere. And the mascot is a hot chicken. Oh, and there's baseball too. Affiliated with the Oakland A's, the Nashville Sounds have quickly found a great new home at FTP. You walk in and immediately notice that you are almost eye level with the field. The covered concourse is huge - making navigating the place much easier, and dodging any Tennessee summer storms no longer a worry. One of my favorite things about the new FTP is the fact that you can walk all the way around the park - never missing a single play. In the right outfield is the Band Box - a full service bar that overlooks the field, complete with lounging furniture, board games, tables, and yard games like corn-hole and shuffleboard. My only complaint there is that it should be 21 and up - to deter young kinds from hogging all the fun! Big fan of the Band Box's concession stand, also in the outfield. From the folks at Strategic Hospitality - this place is fantastic. Get the nachos. Best $8 you've ever spent. Thank me later. In terms of other facilities, the bathrooms are meticulously clean, the seats are comfortable (CUPHOLDERS!) and the staff is very friendly. FTP is always doing fun activities and promotions to drive attendance. Last weekend, they executed a flawless "Bark in the Park" event in which we could bring our dogs. We did and had a blast. My husband and I are season ticket holders for the new Nashville Sounds.. and I think we'll always be! Thanks FTP for all that you do to make Nashville a great place to watch some baseball!

The stadium is beautiful! We lucked into club level tickets, so we were treated to air conditioned hallways, a beautiful bar, padded seats, and a great view of downtown. It seems like every seat is a great seat though. There is a trendy bar area called The Band Box out in right field with loungers, corn hole boards, and an awesome atmosphere. It seems like a great place for a corporate event, too. As a bonus, parking couldn't have been easier. We parked at a free city lot I found on the Sounds website and walked through Bicentennial Park. We'll do that again!

Sounds games are so much fun! During good weather, going to a game is a great way to spend an evening with friends and family. Now that the Sounds have relocated to the newly built First Tennessee Park next to Bicentennial Mall, which is a very central and accessible location, going to games is now much easier and more convenient. We bought lawn tickets, which are only 7 bucks. Grab a picnic blanket, sprawl it out on the lawn, and you're set for the game. Watching the game on the lawn from the outfield was relaxing and low-key. If I had to choose the lawn or seats, I'd probably go with the lawn! Luckily for all you non-sports fans (yep, that's me), there is still much to enjoy at the game, most notably the Band Box. It's a fantastic hangout spot that reminds me of a mini-Pinewood Social; there's many, many games to play (ping pong, corn hole, shuffle board, etc.) and a full bar serving cocktails AND...drum roll please... Jack and Coke icees. We went there during the middle of the game, and we didn't leave for the rest of the game. Ha! The stadium has good food and beer options. It's mostly your typical ballgame food, but they also offered a few healthy options, as well as foods from local farmers and producers. I got a locally sourced hot dog that was a little lukewarm and not very good, but whatever; I should never expect to have superb ballgame food. I was happy to see (and drink) local and craft beers at the beer stands. The season has ended this year, but I will most certainly be going again once the season starts up again!

While the new stadium has things like chairs that aren't broken, it is not Greer Stadium. First TN Park is visually appealing, as well as meticulously engineered. If you're over 21, make sure to stop in to The Band Box in the outfield. I would have been happy to hang out and watch the game from there the entire evening. Buy tickets before the day of because the price jumps game day.

I've never been into baseball. But man, this stadium makes it really easy to LOVE baseball! I've never been to a stadium like this (and I moved here from Pittsburgh, where they are super crazy about their new-ish stadiums). The Sounds stadium is legit. There are all kinds of games that I've never even seen at any stadium before (e.g., cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping pong tables, miniature golf, pitching cage, bouncy houses/slides, etc.), a huge outdoor bar and grille overlooking the field and fireworks at the end of the game. I had an AMAZING time! I guess I love baseball now. :)

A very well-maintained stadium to enjoy all the comforts that a minor league baseball game has to offer, all very close to downtown Nashville. Surely most of the fans aren't there solely for the baseball, and the stadium has plenty to keep you entertained throughout. Clean seats and grounds, no-worse-than-normal stadium price gouging, easy-to-get tickets, and lots of food options relative to the size; all the classics are there. Kids activities over in one corner of the stadium and support/recognition for numerous local organizations. Easy to get to and is walkable from just about anywhere downtown, as well as easy access for ridesharing services like Lyft or Uber and lots of bike parking (along with a BCycle bike share hub)

Beautiful new park. Concourse goes 360 around the stadium. Lots of concessions, restrooms, and plenty of employees. The walk to the park is safe being well lit with a good police presence. There are many opportunities for improvement and that will come with time. I also like the music being played. Jack White, Raconteurs, and other good local music. Looking forward to many great experiences in the future.

Sounders Ballpark- We went the 4th of July. Nice venue. As in all of Nashville, they need more help. Even though we went on the 4th & they had 10,000 people, they usually draw about 8,000, so they are used to large crowds. However, I spent the 4th-6th innings standing in line to get food. $9.50 beers! Sloooow workers and not enough since there were 2 stations not staffed. I assume due to people not wanting to work. From my visit, I would say that the work ethic is sorely wanting in Nashville!

Ok this is worst music venue in town. Please keep in their show, but here are the issues: over an hour wait for some to get. The concession lines were out of control and in the first 25% of the night many stands were out of selection on beverages. Actually fighting and arguing over where the line was, when there was no line it was so long it just made a crowd. The seats in which you additional funds for before the show was 100yds from the (thats the best ones) and the majority of those seats view was blocked. Y the sound board and equipment. The worst issue the full lights were on in the stands. So if watching the show in the same light as say your kitchen is your thing then pay the 89.50. Then if went to ask question through the sea of irate people they offered a wristband to go on the floor for an additional 20.00each as the show was half over. That 20.00 price was regardless of the level of your original ticket price! So my take on it Nashville is the music capital of the world don't waste your money here.

The Band Box! Favorite spot to be on a summer night in Nashville. The slushies are my suggestion if you're looking for a good frozen drink.
