Geodis Park
Geodis Park, known during development and construction as Nashville SC Stadium and Nashville Fairgrounds Stadium, is a 30,109-seat soccer-specific stadium at the historic Nashville Fairgrounds in Nashville, Tennessee. It is the home of Major League Soccer club Nashville SC. The stadium opened on May 1, 2022, with Nashville SC hosting the Philadelphia Union in the stadium's inaugural match. The stadium was one of twelve venues to host the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
In December 2016, the construction was expected to cost $275 million. Billionaire businessman John Ingram was expected to pay "$25 million up front and $9 million a year over 30 years to help retire Metro's annual $13 million debt for the $225 bond issuance." Additionally, the Nashville Fairgrounds would be renovated for an additional $40 million.
As part of the public-private partnership, Mayor Megan Barry vowed to give "10 acres of city-owned fairgrounds land for a mix-use development next to the stadium" to the developers, including Ingram.
The Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County approved $25 million in 2018, and an additional $5 million was approved directly by Mayor David Briley's office "from a 2017 contingency fund" without the council's approval in February 2019, for a total of $37.6 million.
The stadium is part of a re-development project at the fairgrounds site that also includes a relocated Expo event space, new mixed-use retail and residential buildings and an upgraded Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway capable of hosting NASCAR Cup Series events.
By February 2019, its construction had been delayed and its budget had increased. The original builder, Ely Concrete, abandoned the project and they were replaced by TRC Construction Services. By August 2019, the construction was expected to cost "between $325 million and $345 million", or "between $50 million and $70 million more than initial estimates," to be covered by billionaire Ingram and other investors, not taxpayers.
As of July 2019, an exposition center was under construction for the State Fair. By August 23, the fair was expected to be held on September 6–15 "in the old fairgrounds space."
A resolution to stop the demolition of buildings and make way for the stadium was introduced by council member Steve Glover on August 2, but it was voted down on August 21.
