Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "Herschel Greer Stadium is a former minor league baseball park located in Nashville, Tennessee, on the grounds of Fort Negley, an American Civil War fortification, approximately two miles (3 km) south of the city's downtown district. It can currently seat 10,300 people.Built in 1978 to house the Nashville Sounds, an expansion franchise of the Double-A Southern League, the stadium played host to the club until 2014. In 1985, the Sounds transitioned into a Triple-A franchise, competing first in the American Association and later the Pacific Coast League. Amidst the Sounds' 37-season run, Greer simultaneously hosted two professional baseball clubs in 1993 and 1994, acting as a temporary home to a displaced Southern League franchise known during that period as the Nashville Xpress. The stadium has also seen occasional use as a field for college baseball and charity events.The stadium is best recognized by its distinctive guitar-shaped scoreboard, which displays the line score across the neck. It has been the site of three minor league all-star games, eight no-hit games, including one perfect game, and a 24-inning game which tied the record for the longest game in PCL history.The subject of numerous upgrades and repairs to maintain its functionality, Greer became one of the oldest stadiums used by a Triple-A team, and it now falls well below professional baseball's standards for a stadium at that class level. For over a decade, the Sounds attempted to secure agreements with the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for a new ballpark to replace Greer, eventually resulting in the construction of First Tennessee Park, which became the Sounds' new home in 2015.Greer Stadium has been closed and unused since the end of the 2014 baseball season, and virtually abandoned since the Sounds' offices were moved to the new facility in early 2015. Its future has not been officially determined, but a 2016 demolition has been proposed by the Metropolitan Nashville government."@en }
