Contested. Since the official website is still at www.firsttennesseepark.com, has a large pic on the landing page showing the building as "First Tennessee Park", and says on a top banner it is "becoming First Horizon Park" in 2020.

The official name and the
WP:COMMONNAME might be different things. Quite often we don't move articles immediately an entity changes its name. This may or may not be the case here, but I think it's worth a full discussion.

Support Move - Generally, US/Canadian stadium/arena articles are moved as soon as the name is official. Only in very rare cases is this not done. The documentation on
the team's stadium page has been updated, so I see no reason to not move the article once a consensus is reached here. -

Comments - Even though I'm "retired", I still check my (extremely short) watchlist at least once a day. I have Page Mover rights, so I can move the page once we have a consensus. -

Comment - it is not standard for soccer stadiums to use sponsored names. If it is for baseball (and that is primary sport) then move away.

Support per
WP:NAMECHANGES. In addition to the notes that MiLB has changed everything over on their end, the Twitter name (but not account handle) for the ballpark has changed, and there is at least
one news article using the new moniker. I suspect that website references etc. will change out over the next couple of months (according to
the Sounds, the signage will be changed out this month after a holiday event concludes) leading into the start of the minor league baseball season.
To address
GiantSnowman, baseball is the primary sport for which the facility was built. Also, in the United States quite a few soccer-specific stadiums (not counting venues also used for American football, or minor league baseball/USL combos like this was) have sold their naming rights:
Banc of California Stadium,
Rio Tinto Stadium, etc. Most of the members of
Category:Major League Soccer stadiums that don't have naming rights sold are proposed or speculative venues. Of the 26 teams in MLS, 18 play in soccer-specific venues, and just one of those has no sponsored name (
Lockhart Stadium (2020)).
