The MLB Speedway Classic is set to be historic as it represents the first Major League Baseball game played in Tennessee. Anticipation builds for a potential attendance record, surpassing the previous mark of 84,587. The event outside Bristol Motor Speedway features various entertainment options, including a Ferris wheel, food trucks, live music, and interactive baseball activities. Tim McGraw's performance before the game adds to the excitement. The capacity considerations allow for hosting over 90,000 fans despite certain sections being blocked off.
The first American or National League game ever played in Tennessee will surpass the previous paid attendance record of 84,587, set on 12 September 1954.
MLB didn't try to sell every ticket inside the speedway that drew 156,990 for the Battle of Bristol college football game in 2016.
Fans outside the speedway were entertained by a 110-foot Ferris wheel, food trucks, live music, pitching tunnels, and batting cages.
