"We make a commitment and we keep it."

That's from Frank Ward, on of the the new owners of the Nashville Sounds. Here is the story.

With 53 days left until opening day for Greer Stadium, construction crews are refurbishing and replacing seats, painting and working on accessibility issues, all part of a $1.5 million renovation to get the ballpark ready.

"We make a commitment and we keep it," said Frank Ward, one of the owners of the Nashville Sounds, the Milwaukee Brewers' triple-A minor league team.

The new owners — New York-based MFP Baseball — agreed to invest in improvements this year. Those include fixing bathrooms and others areas to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The building permit for work at the Chestnut Street stadium was issued earlier this month. On Friday, work crews stopped for Belmont University's practice. Roy Turner sat in the stands watching his son play in an intrasquad game under overcast skies. The paint on the facade is chipping, the ballpark signs are worn, and the 30-year-old stadium looks older than it is.

"It's definitely in need of repair," Turner said. "It's good that they are doing this. It's such a nice place to watch a ballgame."
