Getting there

First Horizon Park sits at 19 Junior Gilliam Way in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood on the north side of downtown, between the State Capitol and the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Driving uses I-65 to the Jefferson Street or Rosa L. Parks Boulevard exit and a short drive south. There is no commuter rail in Nashville. WeGo Public Transit buses serve Germantown from downtown. From Memphis it is about a three-hour drive east on I-40; from Chattanooga it is about a two-hour drive northwest on I-24; from Louisville it is about a three-hour drive south on I-65. Team-affiliated and adjacent surface lots and garages ring the ballpark, and reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats game-day pricing on weekend dates and on any date with downtown Nashville event overlap. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed along Junior Gilliam Way. Important disambiguation: First Horizon Park is the Nashville Sounds' MiLB ballpark in Germantown — distinct from First Horizon Coliseum (the Greensboro NC arena, formerly Greensboro Coliseum). Confirm bag and entry rules on the Nashville Sounds' official site before going.

The neighborhood

First Horizon Park anchors Germantown — Nashville's oldest neighborhood, established in the mid-1800s by German immigrants, and one of the most genuinely walkable and food-destination historic-residential districts in the South. The blocks immediately around the ballpark are restored Victorian-era cottages, restaurants, and the iconic Nashville Farmers' Market directly adjacent to the ballpark. The Tennessee State Capitol and Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park (with its 200-foot World War II memorial) sit a short walk south. Downtown Nashville — Broadway's honky-tonk corridor, the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman Auditorium, and Bridgestone Arena (NHL Predators) — sits a short ride south. The Cumberland River and the Pinnacle at Symphony Place sit a short ride southeast. The neighborhood reads as one of the best walkable urban Triple-A ballpark settings in the country — directly comparable to Polar Park (Worcester) and Truist Park (Atlanta's Battery district at the MLB level) in terms of integration with a destination food-and-drink neighborhood.

Where to eat & drink nearby

Pre-game stops within walking distance in Germantown include Rolf and Daughters (the destination contemporary-Italian sit-down — chef Philip Krajeck's nationally recognized restaurant, the canonical Germantown pre-game destination), City House (the destination wood-fired Italian sit-down — chef Tandy Wilson's longtime Nashville institution), and Henrietta Red (the destination raw-bar and wood-fire sit-down — chef Julia Sullivan's nationally recognized restaurant). 5th & Taylor is the destination contemporary American sit-down in a converted warehouse. Steadfast Coffee is the canonical Germantown specialty-coffee bar for a pre-day-game stop. Geist Bar & Restaurant in a restored 19th-century blacksmith's shop is the destination cocktail-and-small-plates sit-down. Butchertown Hall is the destination Texas-Mexican-and-barbecue sit-down. Nashville Farmers' Market directly adjacent to the ballpark is a multi-stall food hall with multiple counter-service options pre-game. Pre-game crowds at Germantown restaurants build sharply on Sounds weekend home dates.

First-timer tips

Plan to arrive about 45-60 minutes before first pitch — Germantown parking flow picks up on weekend Sounds home dates and on any date when Bridgestone Arena or downtown Nashville has a major overlapping event. First Horizon Park opened in 2015 as the new home of the Nashville Sounds, replacing the legendary Greer Stadium (the previous Sounds home from 1978 to 2014, famed for its guitar-shaped scoreboard, which carried over in modernized form to First Horizon Park's video board). The Sounds have been the Milwaukee Brewers' Triple-A affiliate since 2021 — earlier major-league parent clubs include the Reds, Pirates, Brewers (first stint), Royals, Brewers (second stint), Brewers (current). The naming-rights agreement is with First Horizon Bank, the Memphis-headquartered regional bank. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the Sounds' site before going.

Best games to catch

International League divisional matchups against the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals affiliate) — the in-state Tennessee Triple-A rivalry on the I-40 corridor — are the most reliable above-average draws and consistently the hottest tickets of the season. Visits from the Louisville Bats (Reds affiliate), Indianapolis Indians (Pirates affiliate), and Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers affiliate) anchor the regional rivalry calendar. Any date when a top Brewers prospect or rehabbing American Family Field major-leaguer is scheduled to play lifts demand sharply. Fireworks Fridays, Independence Day weekend, and themed promotional nights anchor the strongest weekend crowds. The Sounds publish their full promotional calendar on the team site; specifics vary year to year.

What to know

First Horizon Park opened in April 2015 in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood as the new home of the Nashville Sounds, replacing the legendary Greer Stadium that had hosted the team from 1978 through 2014. The signature guitar-shaped scoreboard from Greer Stadium was carried over in a modernized form to First Horizon Park's main video board — a direct nod to the franchise's Nashville-music identity. The Sounds have been the Milwaukee Brewers' Triple-A affiliate since 2021 (previously and historically rotating among the Reds, Pirates, earlier Brewers stints, and Royals across the franchise's modern era). The naming-rights agreement is with First Horizon Bank, the Memphis-headquartered regional bank. Capacity sits around 10,000 with views of downtown Nashville and the Tennessee State Capitol. The franchise plays in the International League under MLB's 2021 minor-league reorganization (previously the Pacific Coast League Triple-A). The ballpark anchors Germantown — Nashville's oldest neighborhood and one of the South's most genuinely walkable food-destination districts — and is widely cited as one of the best Triple-A venues in the country. Important disambiguation: First Horizon Park (Nashville MiLB ballpark) is distinct from First Horizon Coliseum (Greensboro NC arena).
