Frank Ward Statement Regarding Stadium Site Study

Nashville Sounds owner Frank Ward issued the following statement today regarding the baseball stadium site evaluation study released by sports consulting firm Populous:

"We are especially excited about possible sites for a new stadium on the East Bank. While there are other attractive sites, none offer as many plusses -- ease of access, ready parking, and proximity to downtown are just a few. And the Sounds would be delighted to be part of Metro's bold plan to develop and upgrade a significant piece of riverfront property. Thanks to the administration and to Populous for doing such a thorough study of this important issue."
