Legendary Alabama football announcer named ‘Voice of the Nashville Kats’
“I am so very excited about returning to the Arena Football League as the voice of the Nashville Kats.”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - From Tuscaloosa to Nashville, the former voice of the Tide has been officially named the “Voice of the Nashville Kats.”
Following a 35-year career calling college football games in Alabama, Eli Gold has been named the Kats, Nashville’s Arena Football League team, new play-by-play announcer. Alabama announced they were replacing Gold this week. Chris Stewart will be Gold’s replacement in Tuscaloosa.
During his nearly 40 years with Alabama, Gold called seven national championship games, 11 Southeastern Conference championship games and 35 bowl games. Now, his voice will be heard on 102.5 The Game or 93.3 Classic Hits when the Kats play.
“I am so very excited about returning to the Arena Football League as the voice of the Nashville Kats,” Gold said. “I say returning, because I was the TV voice of the league back when the games were on NBC and TNN, and I came to love the product.”
