It opened in 1929 to serve as the home park for owner Thomas T. Wilson's Nashville Elite Giants, a Negro league team which competed in several circuits from 1929 to 1930 and 1932 to 1934. The ballpark also served as a spring training site for other Negro league teams. Wilson discontinued all baseball activities at the park in 1946, and it was later demolished. Herschel Greer Stadium Home of: Nashville Sounds – Southern League (1978–1984) / American Association (1985–1997) / Pacific Coast League (1998–2014) Nashville Xpress – Southern League (1993–1994) Location: The foot of St. Cloud Hill on the grounds of Fort Negley; 534 Chestnut Street () Orientation: Home plate faced southeast Opened: 1978 Closed: 2014 Demolished: 2019 Herschel Greer Stadium, located on the grounds of Fort Negley, an American Civil War fortification, was opened in 1978 for the Nashville Sounds, an expansion franchise of the Double-A Southern League who moved to the Triple-A American Association in 1985 and to the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in 1998. The facility closed at the end of the 2014 baseball season, after which the Sounds left for the new First Tennessee Park. Greer remained deserted for over four years until its demolition in 2019. Amidst the Sounds' 37-season run, Greer simultaneously hosted two professional baseball clubs in 1993 and 1994, acting as a temporary home to a displaced Southern League franchise known during that period as the Nashville Xpress. They were named for the railroad tracks located just beyond the right-center field wall to the stadium's east-southeast. Greer was best recognized by its distinctive guitar-shaped scoreboard, which measured across, high, and deep.
