A representative for Nashville soccer told the Board of Fair Commissioners that the U.S. men’s national team will play at the fairgrounds stadium on June 10 against Switzerland, and that FIFA Club World Cup and other FIFA site activities are being prepared at the venue.
The campus partner representative said the team recorded a 2-0 win Saturday against the Portland Timbers, marking the club’s first win of the season after a draw in the home opener. The representative described a recent themed home match (referred to as "Barbie night") as successful, and said FIFA has been conducting walk-throughs and site surveys in advance of upcoming FIFA matches.
The board also heard a report from a racing representative who said weekday practices (25 scheduled for the year) will begin soon, that the season racing schedule is out, and that a banquet is scheduled for Sunday in Expo 3. The racing representative said there is strong interest from teams and encouraged outreach to community organizations and schools to boost attendance and participation.
Board members asked a small number of logistical questions, including the banquet time and whether social media is active for promotions; the banquet was identified as 4 to 7 p.m. and staff confirmed separate tracking exists for parking revenue.
Ending Staff and board members thanked the campus partners for the updates; there were no formal actions related to the event announcements.
