Herschel Greer Stadium is a minor league baseballpark in Nashville, Tennessee, approximately two miles (3 km) south of downtown. Opened in 1978, the stadium was named for Herschel Lynn Greer, a prominent Nashville businessman and the first president of the Nashville Vols minor league baseball team. It is home to the Triple-ANashville Sounds of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) and can seat 10,300 people. It has been the site of three minor league all-star games, eight no-hit games, including one perfect game, and a 24-inning game which tied the record for the longest game in PCL history. In 1993 and 1994, it also served as the home ballpark for the Double-ASouthern League's Nashville Xpress. Greer is one of the oldest stadiums used by a Triple-A team, and it now falls well below professional baseball's standards for a stadium at that class level. It has been the subject of numerous upgrades and repairs to keep it functioning long enough for the Sounds to secure a deal for a new ballpark. (more...)
