What reaches the room

The City of Hope Softball Challenge is a longtime CMA Fest charity staple in Nashville, raising funds for cancer and diabetes research through an entertaining, family-friendly on-field spectacle. Established in 1990, the annual game brings together country music’s biggest names alongside some of the sport’s most dedicated fans. Proceeds from ticket sales and fundraising efforts benefit City of Hope, making each swing and slide one more step toward better care and cures. The event has deep roots in Nashville’s music and sports communities, originally played at Greer Stadium (1991–2014) before moving to First Tennessee Park (now First Horizon Park) in 2015. As part of CMA Fest week, fans enjoy signings, meet-and-greets, anthem performances, and on-field access that makes this a standout experience for country fans and baseball lovers alike.
