BREAKING NEWS from @Jordan_Bianchi and @EvanDrellich: Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds to play game next season at Tennessee’s iconic Bristol Motor Speedway, multiple sources tell @TheAthletic.https://t.co/jf51ZGC3pa— Marc Carig (@MarcCarig) August 6, 2024
Finding non-traditional sites to play regular season baseball games is nothing new for MLB. They played the Field of Dreams game in Iowa a few years ago, they played at the historic Rickwood Field just this year, as well as hosting games in other countries, such as London, Mexico, Tokyo, and Seoul.
This is also nothing new for Bristol Motor Speedway. The world famous racetrack with a seating capacity close to 150,000 hosted a college football back in 2016 when the Tennessee Volunteers faced off against the Virginia Tech Hokies.
MLB declined to comment on the report but an official announcement is expected by the end of the week.
