The news that the Nashville Sounds (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League) are being sold to a New York real-estate outfit — at a price of around $20 million or so, we’ve been told — seems to have gone over well in the Music City, where former owner Al Gordon may have worn out his welcome in attempts to procure a new ballpark.The news that the Nashville Sounds (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League) are being sold to a New York real-estate outfit — at a price of around $20 million or so, we’ve been told — seems to have gone over well in the Music City, where former owner Al Gordon may have worn out his welcome in attempts to procure a new ballpark. Truth is, Greer Stadium is not a very nice facility given the state of the art in minor-league baseball these days. The Sounds were forced by parent team Milwaukee to install new clubhouses, but they weren’t done at the beginning of the 2009 season, forcing both the Sounds and visiting teams to dress at LP Field and then take a bus to the ballpark. We would be very surprised if the new ownership group is foolish enough to spend a lot of money on Greer Stadium past some obviously needed changes; the real future of baseball in Nashville lies in a new facility, and the challenge will be structuring a financial deal that meets with the approval of all involved.
