Nashville is in. Now, three other MLS expansion hopefuls — and a fourth that has been in limbo for years — will await their fate with the growing soccer league.
The league said Tuesday that Commission Don Garber will join political and business figures Wednesday at the Country Music Hall of Fame for a “major soccer announcement.” Multiple sources confirmed MLS will announce it’s expanding to Nashville, with the team probably beginning play in 2020.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Nashville Mayor Megan Barry will attend the event.
The city and team plan to build a 27,500-seat, $275 million stadium at the fairgrounds a few miles south of downtown.
