The unexpected closure of Opryland USA in 1997 remains one of Nashville’s greatest losses. The public was promised that part of the park would remain intact — it didn’t. For 25 years, Opryland was the cultural centerpiece of the city. The community is still asking: “Why was Opryland closed and replaced with a mall?”
