Sulphur Dell: Going, Going, Gone

  • Summary

  • In January of 1969, Herschel Greer, vice-president of Vols, Inc., the stock corporation that owned the now-defunct Nashville Vols and the property known as Sulphur Dell, announced the ownership group approved a sale to Frederic Gregg, Jr. Gregg was a financier and owner of Lin Broadcasting Group.

    According to Greer, Gregg paid $255,000 for the land.

    On Wednesday, April 17, about 35 people gathered to say goodbye to Sulphur Dell. A little after 2 PM a giant claw was raised at the roof of the grandstand near right field and took a big bite out of it.

    In this episode, I tell about the events surrounding the sale of the beloved old ballpark!
