NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Soccer fans in Nashville appear more than ready for the 2018 USL season to arrive at First Tennessee Park.

Nashville SC announced on Thursday it had sold more than 2,000 season tickets for the club’s inaugural season in the USL during an exclusive pre-sale window. With tickets getting set to go on sale to the general public on Nov. 1, the club is confident of reaching its goal of 6,200 season ticket holders for the 2018 season, a number that would represent a record for any first-year USL club.

“Becoming a Nashville SC season ticket member is another opportunity for supporters of our professional soccer movement to show the sports world that Music City is Soccer City,” said NSC majority owner John Ingram.

Nashville’s potential season-ticket base of 6,200 would place it in the top five within the USL based off 2017 figures. The past regular season was a historic one for the USL as its teams welcomed more than two million fans to their venues during the 2017 USL regular season. Nine teams in the USL averaged more than 5,000 fans per game this season, more than double the number in 2016, with First Tennessee Park’s capacity of 10,000 putting Nashville in line to join those clubs in the 2018 regular season.
