Nashville group finds partner in search for land that could become the site of an MLB-ready stadium
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Music City Baseball is teaming with a property company in hopes of buying land that could one day serve as the home of a Major League Baseball team. The deal between Music City Baseball and Lincoln Property Company announced Tuesday is designed to secure land for a mixed-use development that could include an MLB-ready stadium. Music City Baseball, formed in 2019, is an organization of business and community leaders in Nashville that is seeking to bring the majors to Tennessee. The group has already picked a nickname 'Stars,' a nod to a Negro League Team that played in Nashville in the 1940s and 50s. The group could have some time to find a location. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has said MLB won't explore expansion until securing new ballparks for the Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays. The A's plan to move to a new park in Las Vegas in 2028, but construction has not started, and they will send at least three seasons playing home games at a minor league stadium in Sacremento. Tampa Bay withdrew this month from a planned $1.3 billion stadium plan in St. Petersburg, citing a hurricane and delays that likely drove up the proposal's cost, and will play home games this season at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, the New York Yankees' spring training home.
