As the Nashville Sounds played their final homestand of the 2021 season, they welcomed fans all weekend, ending the season with an attendance of 436,868, the highest in all Minor League Baseball.

The Sounds finished the season 41-24 at First Horizon Park–the fourth-best home record in the Triple-A East. Nashville has won eight of their last nine games overall and nine of their last 11 at First Horizon Park.

However, the club saw less fans this season than in 2019 and before, notably due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, the Sounds welcomed 578,291 fans to First Horizon Park, the fifth straight year of over 500,000. It was the fourth time in the five-year existence of the park with over 550,000 fans. The average attendance of 8,631 fans per game was the second-highest average in the Pacific Coast League.

All of Minor League Baseball was cancelled in 2020, so many teams took a major economic hit by not having fans come to games. Though the club’s attendance was lower than years past, even in the middle of a pandemic, the Sounds welcomed almost half a million fans.
