About First Horizon Park
First Horizon Park opened in 2015 and is consistently ranked among the top minor league ballparks in the country. The Nashville Sounds are the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, and the park sits in Germantown — one of Nashville’s most walkable and well-maintained historic neighborhoods.
A Sounds game is genuinely one of the best value entertainment options in Nashville — tickets run $12–$25, the food is good, the views of downtown Nashville from the upper concourse are exceptional, and the vibe is relaxed in a way that big-league stadiums rarely are. Summer fireworks nights and specialty promotions make certain games worth planning around specifically.

Tips for Nashville Sounds Game Day
- Arrive by 5:45pm for weeknight games. Meters go free at 6pm. Most games start at 6:35pm. The 15-minute window is all you need to find a free street spot in Germantown.
- Book early for fireworks nights. July 4th and other fireworks promotion games sell out — parking follows the same pattern. Book days in advance for those specific dates.
- Eat in Germantown before the game. Germantown has some of Nashville’s best restaurants within walking distance of the park. Steadfast Coffee and the neighborhood restaurant scene are worth arriving early for.
- Upper concourse views are worth the climb. The view of the downtown Nashville skyline from the upper concourse at First Horizon Park is genuinely one of the best in the city. Don’t miss it.
- Exit strategy matters on sellout nights. For big promotion games, have your exit route planned before you park. The streets around First Horizon Park are narrow and back up quickly after the final out.
