First Tennessee Park
First Tennessee Park.
First Tennessee Park is a baseball park in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States. It opened in 2015 as the home of the Triple-A Nashville Sounds of the Pacific Coast League. It was built on the site of the former Sulphur Dell, a minor league ballpark in use from 1870 to 1963. The design of the park incorporates imagery inspired by country music, Sulphur Dell, and the city's former baseball players and teams. Its most distinctive feature is its guitar-shaped scoreboard. During construction of the park, artifacts dating to around 1150 were uncovered; these are now on permanent display in the Tennessee State Museum's Mississippian Period exhibit. Archaeologists believe them to be the remnants of a workshop in a Native American settlement where mineral water from underground springs was boiled to collect salt. The park is on a flood plain of the Cumberland River that flooded in 2010.
