The Sports Credential Essentials—May 2023

/in /by

Summer is practically here and May is the first month prepping fans for the sunny sports-filled days with tons of Sounds baseball, Nashville SC and the wind down of college baseball season.

Nashville SC just picked up a huge 3-1 win over rival Atlanta United on Saturday (April 29), setting themselves up for an important May. The MLS season is a long one but May and June are important months that could help solidify a playoff spot or make it more difficult. Nashville SC has a number of home games, including a U.S. Open Cup match against FC Dallas, that you won’t want to miss.

Additionally, Nashville SC will host Chicago Fire on May 6, Inter Miami for the first time ever on May 17 and the Columbus Crew on May 28. They face Dallas in the U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday May 10, also at GEODIS Park.

Vanderbilt baseball has three more series before the regular season ends and one home series left. Vandy Boys will take on Alabama and Florida, and will finish the season hosting powerhouse Arkansas at Hawkins Field between May 18-20. The Commodores will then head to Hoover, Alabama for the SEC Tournament before the NCAA Baseball Regionals begin in June.

Another major event hitting Nashville this month is the 2023 Iroquois Steeplechase. The yearly horse race will take place at Percy Warner Park on Saturday, May 13. Proceeds from the day of racing in Middle Tennessee will go to benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and other local charities. Tickets are still available now.
