New Nashville SC stadium gets a name

Nashville SC announced its new 30,000-seat soccer stadium will be called Geodis Park.

• Geodis is a France-based supply chain company with North American headquarters in Brentwood. Financial terms of the naming deal were not disclosed, per the Tennessean.

Why it matters: Geodis Park is set to become a major Nashville landmark on the fairgrounds and in Wedgewood-Houston when it opens May 1 with a game against the Philadelphia Union.

• Team officials say it will be the biggest soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. or Canada.

What they're saying: "We have repeatedly said that the new stadium will become the spiritual home of Nashville Soccer Club," team CEO Ian Ayre said during Thursday's announcement.

• He called the partnership with Geodis "a landmark part of the history and journey of the club."
