The Smokies, AA minor league affiliates of the Toronto Blue Jays, are ushering in the millennium at their brand new stadium in Sevierville. The Southern League season runs from April through early September. In 1999, the Smokies announced they would no longer play at Knoxville's Bill Meyer Stadium, the city's home of minor league baseball since the mid-1950s. After a strong show of support from Sevier County in terms of season ticket sales as well as an attractive bid on a new facility, the franchise made the decision to make the 18-mile move closer to the mountains.
Season tickets are also available in different packages.
