Nashville Sounds News Release
NASHVILLE - The Nashville Sounds return to First Horizon Park to begin the second half of the season with back-to-back homestands running through the Independence Day weekend. The first of two homestands will start with a six-game series as they welcome back the Gwinnett Stripers (Triple-A Affiliate, Atlanta Braves) on June 23-28. The series will have two gate giveaways, Pride Night and Margaritaville Night, Friday Fireworks, Hit City Saturday and Sunday Family Fun Day.
Gates for the first four games of the week (June 23-26) will open at 5:30. Gates for Hit City Saturday, June 27 and Sunday Family Funday, June 28 will open at 5:00.
REMINDER: Due to the heat of the summer upon us, Sunday games will be moved from day games (1:05) to night games (6:05) beginning with the upcoming series against Gwinnett.
The home slate will begin on Tuesday, featuring another Tito's Tail Waggin' Tuesdays, where you can bring your dog and enjoy baseball at the ballpark. Wednesday's game will feature the first giveaway of the week with a Brice Turang Skyline Bobblehead. The action continues with Winning Wednesday. If the Sounds win, all fans can round the bases after the game.
Thursday features Music Bingo throughout the game with drink specials available at the concessions and another Throwback Thursday as players wear the classic fan-favorite 1978 jersey. Thursday will also feature Pride Night, where everyone can celebrate love, inclusion, and community with a night of baseball that honors and uplifts the people around you.
The fun continues into the weekend on Friday as fans can stick around after the final out to watch the Nashville sky light up with postgame fireworks. Friday night will also feature Lipscomb University Night. Saturday will feature another Hit City Saturday while fans get to receive the second and final giveaway of the week with a Hawaiian Shirt that will be handed out on Margaritaville Night.
The series concludes with Sunday Family Fun Day as kids can take part in pregame autographs with select Sounds players and can round the bases after the game is complete.
