Nashville has the Sounds. It is a good local team where the locals come out and have a good time. The stadium is nothing flashy with a comfortable air about it.

If they went to full Major League pro team it would just ruin it. There would not be any more local politicians making a friendly appearance, no more celebrities mixing in with the spectators, and the price of admission would go through the roof.

Leave Nashville out of it.
