Online Ticket Sales Begin Wednesday, March 16th
Nashville, TN – With less than a month until the start of the regular season, the Nashville Sounds are excited to announce the 2011 promotional calendar, which includes numerous fireworks extravaganzas, two bobblehead giveaways, the return of Taco Bell Throwback Thursday, six Purity Faith Nights®, and much more!
Single-game tickets for the 2011 Sounds regular season go on sale at 9:00am tomorrow (March 16th) via the team’s online purchase system at www.nashvillesounds.com or over the phone at 615-690-HITS (4487). Beginning on Monday, March 21st, tickets may also be purchased in person at the Greer Stadium box office.
A total of 22 fireworks nights are at the forefront of this year’s promotional schedule, (including Independence Day), with 10 falling on Firestone Friday Fireworks, 11 on Saturdays, and the team’s annual Independence Day show.
Fans will have two chances to receive bobbleheads, as the Sounds honor important members of the 2011 squad starting Saturday, July 14th with Brendan Katin Bobblehead Night. The PCL All-Star and 2010 Fan Favorite will be immortalized in bobblehead form, available to the first 2,000 fans through the gates, presented by Taco Bell. Entering the 2011 season, Katin, who has spent the past three seasons in a Nashville uniform, is just 23 home runs and 46 RBIs behind Chad Hermansen for the top spot on the Sounds’ all-time career leaderboard.
Two weeks later on Saturday, July 30th, the Sounds will celebrate their third-year skipper with Don Money Bobblehead Night, as the first 2,000 fans through the turnstiles at Greer Stadium will receive a bobblehead featuring the four-time MLB All-Star, sponsored by McDonald’s. Money currently ranks sixth on the Sounds all-time career wins list for managers.
Additional giveaway items on the slate include: 5,000 magnet schedules presented by The U.S. Marine Corps. (opening weekend), kids batting helmets for the first 1,000 kids 12 & under sponsored by Purity Dairies (May 28th), kids T-Shirts for the first 1,000 kids 12 & under (June 25th), baseball card sets for the first 2,000 fans (July 16th), Sounds T-shirts for the first 2,000 adults (July 22nd), and Sounds hats for the first 2,000 fans (August 26th), the latter two presented by Vanderbilt Sports Medicine.
