Hunter Industrial Success Story: The Nashville Sounds

 

The Nashville Sounds, the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers and a proud member of the International League, have firmly established themselves as a premier family-friendly sports venue in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee.

Each summer, over half a million fans flock to First Horizon Park to enjoy America's favorite pastime, making it a must-see experience for both locals and tourists. When the opportunity arose to enhance guest comfort through better air circulation, the Sounds turned to another hometown team for the solution – Hunter Industrial.

Prioritizing the Guest Experience with Commercial Fans

For the Nashville Sounds, the guest experience is paramount. After all, there’s a reason why baseball is synonymous with pure Americana, proudly joining the ranks of apple pie, hotdogs, and Chevrolet. The club knows that for baseball fans to keep returning, each visit has to be memorable, win or lose.

"Ensuring our guests have an unforgettable experience every time they visit is our top priority," says Doug Scopel, assistant general manager and vice president of Operations for Nashville Sounds Baseball Club. "The comfort and enjoyment of our fans are essential to creating those lasting memories that keep them coming back season after season."

Given their capacity of over 10,000 fans, the Sounds focused on creating comfortable, shaded areas and additional seating to provide relief from Nashville’s intense summer heat. Enhancing these spaces with powerful and durable commercial fans was a crucial step in elevating the overall fan experience.

Building a Lasting Partnership with Hunter Industrial 

To source their stadium fans, the Nashville Sounds sought help from a local company that was just as invested in the community as they are. This led them to Hunter Industrial, a well-respected name in the industry with a strong commitment to Nashville. The partnership was a natural fit, given Hunter’s reputation for quality and their own dedication to enhancing local experiences.

In May 2023, the new Hunter Industrial Trak fan line of fans were installed at the Band Box location, replacing older residential fans and significantly improving performance, appearance, and durability. Visitors immediately noticed and appreciated these enhancements. Additionally, the installation of more Hunter Industrial Trak fans at the Coors Light Home Run Porch during the 2024 season further boosted positive feedback from ballpark attendees. These fans not only provide superior airflow but also enhance the venue's overall aesthetic and comfort.

"Trak fans are an excellent choice for sports venues due to their high performance, durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal," says Marc Brandt, director of the industrial domestic channel at Hunter. "They ensure optimal comfort for fans while seamlessly blending into the venue's design, making them a winning solution for any sports facility."

Future Plans with Hunter Industrial

Reflecting on the past year-plus of outstanding performance, the Nashville Sounds are confident in purchasing more Hunter fans for future installations as needs arise. It's clear that with Hunter, the Sounds have hit a home run in enhancing both comfort and aesthetics at First Horizon Park.

"Our partnership with Hunter Industrial has been invaluable," adds Danielle Gaw, vice president of Corporate Partnerships at the Nashville Sounds Baseball Club. "Their shared values and dependability have made them an essential part of our efforts to create a superior fan experience."
