A group of landowners that includes Cherokee Equity and construction materials company LoJac has come forward with a proposal to build a new ballpark for the Nashville Sounds between the Cumberland River and Interstate 24 north of the Jefferson Street bridge. They say the land comes with tremendous opportunities to produce related development in a part of town that can use it.

“The North End seems to us to provide a central location with great sight lines and interstate access, is located on Jefferson Street and has a massive potential upside for … [ancillary] projects that generate jobs, tax revenue and increase the city's tax base,” he added.
