WELCOME A BRIEF LETTER On behalf of the Nashville Sports Council, we are excited to celebrate over 30 years of making a difference through sports tourism. Over the past three decades, we have hosted major events that have become central to Nashville’s expanding sports calendar, including the TransPerfect Music City Bowl, the St. Jude Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series, and the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament.

In addition, the Sports Council has played a key role in supporting high-profile events such as the 2019 NFL Draft, the 2016 NHL All-Star Game, the 2014 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and the 2022 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Through our dedication to volunteerism and community involvement, these events have generated over $1 billion in direct economic impact since our founding in 1992.

The success of these events, as highlighted in this annual report, would not have been possible without the invaluable support of our individual and corporate members, as well as the countless volunteers who have made a profound impact on Nashville’s sports tourism industry.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to advancing sports tourism in Nashville for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Scott Ramsey President/CEO Nashville Sports Council 4

The 2023 TransPerfect Music City Bowl at Nissan Stadium celebrated 26 years December 30 premiering on ABC with a strong matchup of Maryland vs. Auburn; only the 4th ever time competing against one another. Despite a short-handed offense, Maryland came out strong against Auburn in their first matchup since 1983. The Terrapins quickly took control, scoring 21 points in the first quarter and cruising to a 31-13 victory before a crowd of over 50,000.

Maryland found the end zone on its first 3 drives, racking up 226 yards in the opening quarter. With quarterback Billy Edwards stepping in for Taulia Tagovailoa, he led the charge with a touchdown run and a touchdown pass to Preston Howard. Cameron Edge, usually the Terps’ No. 3 quarterback, also contributed with a touchdown pass to Dylan Wade.

Auburn’s offense struggled throughout the game as starting quarterback Payton Thorne completed just 13 of 27 passes for 84 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. The game was sealed when Maryland’s Glendon Miller returned a 44-yard pick-six in the third quarter, extinguishing any hope of an Auburn comeback.

RICK REGEN VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR ANDREW STEWART In the bustling city of Nashville, where sports and music dance together in harmony, there is a man named Andrew whose heart beats for both. Retired in 2018 after a bicycle accident that could have dimmed his spirit, Andrew found himself with time on his hands and a desire to give back. Little did he know that this path would lead him to become the Rick Regen Volunteer of the Year.

chair navigate the crowded track to find parking downtown, a task made possible with the help of another dedicated volunteer whose name escapes him but whose kindness is not forgotten. Beyond these moments, what Andrew treasures most are the connections he’s made—the amazing people he’s met, both in the stands and behind the scenes, and the NSC staff who have become like family.

Andrew’s journey with the Nashville Sports Council began in 2020, a year that the world will not soon forget. He eagerly signed up to volunteer at the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament, only to watch as the event was swept away by the pandemic’s tide. But this setback didn’t deter him; it only fueled his passion. In 2021, Andrew found himself at The Golf Club of Tennessee, participating in the NCAA Men’s Golf Regional. It was his first real taste of volunteering with the NSC, and he was hooked.

When he’s not volunteering, Andrew can be found cheering on his beloved Tennessee Volunteers, with a soft spot for all the local teams, even Vanderbilt on occasion. Andrew’s story is one of resilience, community, and an unwavering love for the sports that bring people together. Through his dedication and kindness, he has not only made a difference in the lives of others but has also found a renewed sense of purpose in his own.

The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix soon became his favorite event to volunteer for.

The energy, the thrill of the race, and the camaraderie among volunteers and fans alike made it an experience unlike any other.

Andrew’s most cherished memories include helping a mother and her son in a wheel28

The volunteer of the year award is named after Sports Council founding board member Rick Regen, who for nearly four decades had a major impact in sports in Nashville. He was also a pivotal figure in bringing the Tennessee Titans, then Oilers, to town. Additionally, Regen was a leader in the support of the expansion bid for the NHL to award Nashville a franchise in what would become the Nashville Predators.

Andrew Stewart can be seen wristbanding patrons to acess the Hospitality Area at the 2024 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament. Volunteers like Andrew help the NSC staff ensure the best overall experinece for SEC Fans during the tournament.
