Nashville’s Major League Soccer Team Is Set To Take The Field. Will The Fans Turn Out?

By

Anticipation has been building for Nashville SC's first season, but a big question is whether that enthusiasm will translate into ticket sales.

Nashville’s first major league soccer team will finally take the field in February.

It’s been two years since the city was awarded an expansion franchise, and it might be that long before Nashville SC plays in its own stadium. There are also questions going into the season surrounding who will be on the field — and who will be in the stands.

Drake Hills from the Tennessean is covering the franchise. He joins WPLN’s Jason Moon Wilkins to talk about its first season.
