March 5, 2025 – It’s fitting that our New Era hats are representing one of the best cities in the United States, acknowledged as such most recently by both Tripadvisor and Resonance, the latter a national real estate and tourism advisory firm. Nashville finished No. 6 in the Best of the Best Destinations list on Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards, ahigher mark than all but one of Major League Baseball’s 2024 home cities(New York City).
Nashville also finished No. 22 on Resonance’s Best Cities report among U.S. cities (metro populations of at least 500,000), abetter finish than 10 of the 26 citiesthat were home to Major League Baseball (MLB) teams in 2024.
Resonance led off its assessment bypraising Nashville’s rise as “firing on all cylinders.”The city’s growth spans many spectrums, including thousands of planned hotel room openings in 2025, “massive developments” like GEODIS Park , a major expansion at Nashville International Airport – BNA and Nashville’s attractiveness as a destination for Fortune 500 companies across several industries.
Of course, there is also Nashville’s unmatched status as “Music City.” Annual events from CMA Fest and Bonnaroo to newer features like the “Rock Hall at the Ryman” exhibit — the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s duet with the Ryman Auditorium — as well as the National Museum of African American Music highlight Nashville’s musical legacy that grows with each day.
From sports to songs, healthcare to hotels, a hub for travel and a home for businesses … everywhere you look, Nashville is one of the best cities in America.
The Nashville Stars are extremely proud of our city and look forward to the day when its site as a home to Major League Baseball is likewise recognized among the best cities in our nation.
