This panel discussion will explore the Nashville Stars’ vision for bringing Major League Baseball to Nashville and how the effort continues to evolve. Attendees will hear about the project’s history, current progress, and the strategic path forward as the organization works toward securing a franchise. The conversation will also explore how Nashville’s identity as a global music and entertainment city shapes the broader vision, including a ballpark and surrounding mixed-use development designed to bring together live entertainment, sports, and community experiences.

Ex-baseball players turned country singers, Bryan Ruby and Adam Doleac, are joined by Will General, the Director of Marketing for the Nashville Stars, to discuss the cultural legacy behind the Nashville Stars name, how music and sports intersect to shape modern fan experiences, the role of storytelling and branding in building momentum for a franchise, and how a ballpark can function as a year round live entertainment venue.
