Geodis Park is a 30,109-seat soccer-specific stadium at the historic Nashville Fairgrounds, at 501 Benton Ave, and the home of Major League Soccer’s Nashville SC (Wikipedia). It opened on May 1, 2022, and was designed by Populous. During development it was called Nashville SC Stadium and Nashville Fairgrounds Stadium. Wikipedia says its seating for 30,000 makes it the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States or Canada. Metro Nashville owns it. The stadium was part of a redevelopment of the fairgrounds that also included a relocated Expo space, mixed-use buildings, and an upgraded Fairgrounds Speedway. In 2025 it was one of the venues for the FIFA Club World Cup.
