Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee
The Nashville Ballpark at Sulphur Dell was made possible by the leadership and foresight of Mayor Karl Dean, who served Nashville and Davidson County from 2007 to 2015. Mayor Dean's vision for this multi-use venue resulted in baseball returning to its historic home in Sulphur Dell and spurred significant economic redevelopment of the North Nashville, Germantown, and Jefferson Street areas. First Tennessee Park is the home of the Nashville Sounds, with First Tennessee Bank serving as the naming rights partner.
The Sounds are forever thankful to Mayor Dean for his contributions in bringing baseball home.
Erected 2015.
