Nashville Sounds News Release


NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Sounds return home to historic Greer Stadium this Friday, May 29 to open an eight-game homestand, during which they'll host series against the division-rival Omaha Royals (AAA-Royals) and Iowa Cubs (AAA-Cubs) after returning from an eight-game road trip.

Highlighting the week's worth of promotions will be two postgame fireworks shows, two giveaways, as well as two Purity Faith Night Concerts, featuring the bands Philmont and Tal & Acacia.

The Omaha Royals will return to face the Sounds for Friday's 7:00 p.m. homestand opener, after taking two of three from the Sounds earlier this season at Greer. Friday also means a dazzling fireworks display will immediately follow the game. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Saturday's scheduled doubleheader with the Royals will consist of two seven-inning games, with the first contest scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. This will be the First Purity Faith Night of the season, featuring headlining music act Philmont. Combined with postgame fireworks, Saturday is another can't miss night at the ballpark with the Nashville Sounds! Gates open at 4:30 p.m.

Sunday's afternoon finale against Omaha will be at 2:00 p.m., and the first 2,000 kids, 12 & under, will receive a Sounds baseball as they enter the gates. It will be a Purity Sundae Sunday with $1 ice cream sundaes at Greer Stadium. Also it's Lance Family Sunday, where fans have the opportunity to receive two tickets for the price of one. Gates open at 12:30 p.m.

After an off day on Monday, the Sounds welcome the division-rival Iowa Cubs back to Music City on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. for the first game of a four-game series. Tuesday is Tunica Tuesday and KRAFT Singles Tuesday Night Tickets, where fans will be able to bring in a KRAFT Singles package wrapper/proof of purchase to the box office for a Buy One Get One Free ticket offer. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday's matinee between the Sounds and Cubs will take place at 12:00 p.m., with gates opening at 10:30 a.m. The Sounds are 1-2 against the Cubs in day games in 2009.

Thursday's third game with Iowa will start at 7:00 p.m., and the first 2,000 fans of all ages at Greer will receive a Sounds T-Shirt as they enter. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.

The Sounds wrap up their eight-game homestand on Friday evening with the series finale against Iowa at 7:00 p.m. This will be the second Purity Faith Night of the homestand, featuring headlining music act Tal & Acacia. A spectacular postgame fireworks show will follow the action on the field. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Following the homestand, Nashville will travel to Omaha for a short three-day road trip before returning to Greer Stadium on June 11 for a pair of series against the division-rival Memphis Redbirds and the Round Rock Express.

Individual and season tickets, as well as group packages, are currently on sale. Call (615) 242-4371 ext. 2 or visit the Sounds' website at www.nashvillesounds.com to order or for more information.
