We’re 75 days away from the Nashville Sounds home opener, but you’ll want to break out your jersey early for Sound Check Fan Fest.

The free fan event takes over First Horizon Park on Saturday, Feb. 3. (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) with current and former player meet-and-greets, a ballpark scavenger hunt, Wiffle ball play, and other baseball-centric activities. Head to the ballpark for:

  • Autograph and Q+A sessions
  • Free hot dogs and Pepsi products
  • Raffles and giveaways
  • Single game tickets and fan club memberships

Coach Ned Yost IV, Sounds alum Tim Dillard, and players Ethan Small and Patrick Dorrian will be in attendance, with additional player appearances to be announced in the coming weeks. Reserve your ticket in advance.
