To determine the current success of the Nashville Sounds I interviewed fans of the game. I used the "snowball effect" to get responses from fans I knew and then had fans they knew refer me for responses to my questionnaire. I also sent my questionnaire to a local baseball blogger from the Nashville Sounds. By getting 38 responses, I feel I have gained an understanding of the typical fan and the differences in the game's appeal to different types of fans. The typical Sounds fan is male and between the ages of 22 and 40. He has a family most of the time and brings them to play with him. He played baseball at some level, most of the time, at least in high school. He first attended a game as a child or young adult depending on whether or not he grew up in Nashville. He attends 5 to 10 games per season and is not a season ticket holder. He usually enjoys a meal at the stadium and has purchased souvenirs for himself or his family. He doesn't usually have a favorite player or see the Sounds play on the road. It also doesn't mostly follow players in their winter leagues. He has attended at least one major league game in his life and sometimes attends other sporting events in Nashville (Titans or Predators). His favorite is minor league ball over major league ball because it's cheaper, there are more activities at the ballpark and it's convenient. He calls himself a fan for two reasons: he's affordable family fun and he loves baseball. The respondents to the questionnaire were overwhelmingly men (84%). Mills writes in his book Chasing Baseball that success in sports has long been seen as a sign of but... middle of paper... still features a guitar-shaped scoreboard that respondents 100% liked. Several fans said the scoreboard, which is shaped like a huge guitar, is iconic. It is unique to Nashville and showcases our musical heritage. Although they would have liked to see an updated version, they seemed nostalgic in wanting the device to be present in the new stadium. Tickets are on sale now for the inaugural 2015 season. Many older Sounds fans are happy with the location of the new park. The historical significance of the area brings back fond memories of their childhood watching the old Nashville Vols game. Most likely there will still be Fireworks Fridays and Ozzies, because in America they are business. But there will also be baseball, as father and son watch unsung heroes try to realize their American dream of playing Major League baseball.
