They are slated to go to Dublin, Ireland in June of 2008 to participate in the Bingham Cup. They are a predominately gay rugby ream, and they are a member of the International Gay Rugby Association. It will be interesting to watch this team as they begin competing more and more, this summer should bring some good matches, so check their calendar.

But that's rugby for you. I know the team would love to have you come out for a game. They've got a home pitch now at Foster Ave. They just went to Dublin for the Bingham Cup and won the Bingham Plate Division. That's quite a large accomplishment, so congratulate them if you see any of the players. Yes, it's a predominantly gay team. Everyone, regardless of age, skill level, or orientation is welcome to come play. They are always looking for new players and will teach you everything you need to know. If you've ever been curious about playing, give it a try. They Grizzlies only had one home game this spring. Hopefully the fall will bring more chances to see them play. Go Griz!

There are a couple of skills to learn if you're not already familiar with the sport, but most people learn the drop punt and handball quickly with a little patience. The Nashville Kangaroos have a national reputation in the United States Australian Football League as a team that plays "hard but clean." Australian football is played without pads or helmets, but there are several basic rules for player safety. The Nashville Kangaroos take pride in playing by these rules - for example, avoiding tackles above the shoulders. Want to watch? Ask, and someone will explain the game. There might even be live commentary. Want to play? Everyone is welcome to try, and one of the players or coaches will take the time to teach you some basic skills.

Their home fields are at Elmington Park at 3500 West End Ave. You can see their games here during the season at Elmington Park when they host out of town teams for competition. The game Footy is some kind of hybrid between American Football, Soccer, and Rugby. The way the do the scoring is related to soccer, and football with a certain number of points assigned based on whether the ball is kicked over a goal post or whether it is carried across the line. I don't completely understand the rules yet, but it is a lot of fun to watch. The game is very fast paced, and I really like the way the do the scoring for the game. Each goal has a score keeper and the score keeper has two flags. Based on the score the flag bearer does some choreographed moves to indicate the score. He wears a white coat and hat and waves the flags in a very formal way. It is enough fun for me just to go and watch the flags wave. Also, the men that seem to gravitate to this sport are quiet buff. So if nothing else you can get the girlfriends together to watch some fit men run around. They aren't wearing any heavy padding to obscure your view. Watching Footy is a nice way to spend a summer afternoon, you can get some sunshine and culture all in one fell swoop.

The Crag Nashville is clean, the employees are friendly, and they're very reasonably priced…read more I recently started a membership at the Crag, and me and my husband have been thoroughly enjoying learning the ropes (literally) of climbing and bouldering. The staff are always so helpful, and private instruction has been useful. Everyone is always willing to cheer for you and lend tips and beta when asked. We especially love being able to visit later on weeknights after work and have the gym largely to ourselves. I highly recommend to anyone looking to try climbing for the first time or join a climbing community.

Paragon Mills park is tucked into the corner of the Paragon Mills neighborhood. Established in…read more1973, it has a playground, a basketball court, and a baseball field. Throughout the 2000s and up to the mid 2010s, the park was a hotbead of gang activity for the Kurdish Pride gang, even being a meeting spot for Metro Nashville police officers to meet with gang members. Today, it is the home to a lot of adult sport leagues in town. As we walked around, we saw nothing but families enjoying the day. We explored around for about twenty minutes, seeing what the park had to offer us.

They have done a lot of work to level the fields, rework the infields, and improve the grass. The issue is going to be the neighborhood. It's sketchy. I've heard gunshots, screeching tires, and all kinds of crazy yelling by the locals. The area was on an episode of Gangland as it's a crossroads for the local gangs of Brown Pride and Kurdish Pride. Sweet, huh? Once, a guy was beaten and stripped naked for $20. His body was left under a car in the parking lot overnight. Buddy system! Don't walk around alone at night. The good news is that there are police now constantly on duty and it has been named an anti-gang area. I believe that they basically named confirmed gang members and put them on a list. If you're on the list, you're not allowed in the park. This has helped a bunch. Playing ball here is a love/hate kind of relationship with the locals. Some cohabit without any problems and others are a constant irritant. Our latest issue is with a couple of Pit bull owners that treat the park as their backyard. They just run around constantly disrupting games and chewing up softballs. This park has improved a bunch during the 6 or 7 years that I've played ball there. If you're careful and stick with a group, you'll be fine.

Finally made it to Geodis for a Nashville SC game and could not have been more pleased!…read more The stadium looks bigger than it actually is, but that is not a dig, it is a positive honestly, as all the food, beverage, stores, and amenities are well located and fairly easy to access from any seat in the house. Speaking of seats, there isn't a bad one in the place! Some are fully covered, others are partially covered and then of course they have those fully uncovered. We sat in the 200's, which was a wonderful view of the game, and as mentioned, gave us easy access to all the goods. Food options were standard with burger, hot dogs, fries, nachos and pretzels being available across most spots. They did have several local eateries as well, which is where most of us ended up grabbing something from. This includes pizza, chicken, bbq, tacos and more. Pricing for tickets was good, but pricing for food, parking and especially pro-shop was a bit more painful, so be prepared...cheap-ish to get in, but they get you everywhere else. The staff from entry to the store, food stalls and of course, exit, were all friendly and helpful. Overall, really great venue. Loved supporting the hometown team at Geodis and definitely look forward to visiting for all types of events!

It was free on the street and was fun to walk with the tons of other concert goers to the stadium. We had floor seats so there was a designated entrance for that with a short line and put us right where we needed to be within the stadium. We found our seats with ease as everything was organized, but no one flagged us to the bracelets that lit up that everyone got so I had to walk back to another gate to get one. We were toward the front of the floor, but the seats in the back of the floor probably did not have a great view due to the non-slope. The food options were good and dwecently priced. The staff was friendly we had a great time.
