Once known as "Baseball's Most Historic Park Since 1870", Sulphur Dell in Nashville, Tennessee, was the home of the Nashville Vols in the Southern Association from 1901 until 1961 and in the South Atlantic League in 1963.  The Negro League Nashville Elite Giants called Sulphur Dell their home in the 1930s.  Long gone but not forgotten, the memories remain for many who visited the old ballpark and cheered for the Vols, Elite Giants, and amateur teams who played there.

Sulphur Dell was a unique ballpark.  The low-lying field gave an unusual contour to the outfield dimensions, where right field fence was only 262 feet from home plate and the bottom of the fence was 22 1/2 feet above the playing field!
