First Tennessee Park marks a return to the area where Sulphur Dell Park once stood. Sulphur Dell hosted Negro and Minor League Baseball teams from the 19th century through 1963, including a six-decade run as the home of the Southern Association’s Nashville Vols.

Minor League Baseball returned to Nashville in 1978, when the Sounds — named for the sound associated with the city’s famous country music scene — played their inaugural season at south Nashville’s Greer Stadium.
