Nashville, TN – The Nashville Sounds are excited to announce the 2014 promotional calendar, which includes 22 fireworks extravaganzas and several giveaways commemorating the team’s final year at Greer Stadium.
The calendar also includes 11 Throwback Thursdays presented by The Tennessean, six Trevecca Nazarene University FAITH NIGHTS® concerts, the return of the Famous San Diego Chicken, and much more!
The Sounds have 16 giveaway nights scheduled this summer, with five of the items specifically celebrating Greer’s 37 years as the Nashville Sounds’ home ballpark.
The commemorative giveaway action begins on Opening Night (Friday, April 11th), when the first 2,500 fans will receive 2014 magnet schedules featuring Greer’s ’37 Years of Hits’ commemorative mark. The magnets, presented by PPG Porter Paints, will also be distributed to the first 2,500 fans on the following night (April 12th).
The Greer-specific giveaways continue with commemorative stadium T-shirts presented by Family Leisure to the first 2,000 fans on May 17th; a miniature Greer Stadium replica presented by Coca-Cola to the first 2,000 fans on June 27th; a guitar scoreboard snow globe presented by Twice Daily to the first 2,000 fans on July 12th; and a vintage 1978-style Sounds bobblehead presented by The Tennessean to the first 2,000 fans on August 8th.
