Construction of GEODIS Park started in 2020 with the demolition of the fairgrounds site. The stadium was designed by Kansas City firm Populous, which had also designed Nashville’s other major venues, including Nissan Stadium.
The proposal for Nashville SC’s new stadium was unveiled in December 2016 with an expected cost of $275 million, which increased to $345 million. The cost would be funded initially by $25 million up front from Nashville SC owner John Ingram and a $225 million bond issuance from the city, with another $40 million in Nashville Fairgrounds renovation. The stadium features a 360-degree canopy, a 65-foot-wide shared concourse and a safe standing supporter’s section.
