Overview

• The Atlanta Braves–Cincinnati Reds game marked the first regular-season MLB contest in Tennessee before weather forced a suspension with one out in the first inning
• More than 85,000 tickets were sold, eclipsing the previous paid attendance record of 84,587 set in 1954
• The half-mile oval’s infield was transformed into a baseball diamond with temporary seating enveloping the track’s Colossus video board
• Fans enjoyed a 110-foot Ferris wheel, food trucks, batting tunnels and pregame concerts by Tim McGraw and Pitbull, plus ceremonial first pitches by Chipper Jones and Johnny Bench
• After the game concludes, MLB will donate the 124,000 square feet of AstroTurf from the infield to East Tennessee State University under its Better Together initiative
