With every element of the new stadium designed to cater to both the die-hard and the casual fan — not to mention one of the top teams in the league — @nashvillesc CEO Ian Ayre and the club are expecting a sellout for GEODIS Park’s debut. The 30,000-seat venue, which was initially given a cautious mid-May completion date, finished approximately four weeks ahead of schedule. The team has already sold more than 20,000 season tickets — approximately two-thirds of the stadium’s capacity. If just those season ticket holders show up, the club would still have the fifth-highest average attendance in MLS. As the anticipation builds and that May 1 match against the Philadelphia Union draws near, Ayre expects to see a surge in ticket sales that will pack the place. He has good reason to believe that will come to fruition too. Link in bio. Hany Mukhtar (left) and Dax McCarty Photo: Casey Gower — Casey’s Photography
