Nashville Kats Cease Operations

The Nashville Kats of the Arena Football League have ceased operations, according to a statement released this afternoon by Titans owner Bud Adams.

“After much deliberation, I have made the difficult decision to cease operations for the Nashville Kats Arena Football Team," the statement said. "I take pride in the fact that we were able to secure an AFL franchise, retain the Kats name and logo and return year-round football to Nashville for three seasons.

"Unfortunately, our ownership group couldn’t put together a viable financial model that would be successful over the long-term. I’d like to thank our loyal Kats fans and all of our coaches and staff for their dedication and hard work.”

Street Musicians

Part of Nashville that I love is seeing musicians everywhere trying to make money and a name for themselves. You see it everywhere people are moving about as they try to make it and hope to be the next Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw or George Strait. It makes our city so alive to see these guys do what they do and try to make their dreams a reality.

Come visit and enjoy the music on the streets as well as in all the music venues around Nashville. You'll be amazed at the talent in most any place you walk into and you will want to take that step out to try and fulfill your dreams...just like the guys onstage or on the sidewalk.
