Comedian Nate Bargatze Breaks Ground on $7 Million Athletic Complex at Alma Mater Donelson Christian Academy
Comedian Nate Bargatze, a 1997 graduate of Donelson Christian Academy (DCA) in Nashville, Tennessee, has broken ground on the Bargatze Indoor Practice Facility. This 36,000 square foot athletic complex, named in his honor, is a $7 million project to which Bargatze contributed $1.5 million. The facility is designed to be a comprehensive training center, featuring a turf field, locker rooms, hitting spaces for baseball and softball, a golf simulator, and a weight room. Athletic Director Dennis Goodwin emphasized that while it will enhance the school's athletic programs, the facility is intended for all students, including the marching band, cheerleaders, and for physical education classes, with an anticipated opening in August 2027.
