 In March 2019, the Tennessee State Fair Commission voted to move the fair from the Nashville Fairgrounds after 2019 over space concerns at the site after the site is re-developed for Nashville Fairgrounds Stadium for the upcoming Nashville SC of Major League Soccer.Concerns included parking, location for the carnival and midway, and adequate space and facilities for farm animal and agricultural exhibitions.A new fair site has not been determined and Metropolitan Board maintains that the fair can return.
