First Horizon Park is a baseball park in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It is the home stadium of the Nashville Sounds, who are a Minor League Baseball team. It opened on April 17, 2015, and has room for up to 10,000 people.[3] It was named First Tennessee Park from 2015 to 2019.[8] Before playing there, the Sounds played at a stadium called Herschel Greer Stadium from 1978 to 2014.[8]
The ballpark was built for the the Nashville Sounds, but other sports teams have also played at the stadium. Nashville SC, a soccer team of the USL Championship, played its games there from 2018 to 2019.[9][10]
