Schmittou wanted "to put Nashville in contention for a future major league team."[17] Along with this goal, the need for more seating, and a desire to make Greer a more attractive ballpark, significant renovations began after the 1987 season. The number of box seats was increased by 40%, the clubhouse and umpire facilities were upgraded, and the dugouts were entirely rebuilt.[18] The new dugouts took up slightly more room than the previous ones, resulting in a minor contraction of the field's dimensions: 327 feet (100 m) down the left and right field lines, 371 feet (113 m) to left and right-center fields, and 400 feet (120 m) to center field.[19] The stadium's main concourse entrance was redesigned to incorporate the stonemasonry of the adjacent Fort Negley.[18] This expansion brought Greer's total seating capacity up to 18,000.[19]
