MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — The Macon bacon baseball club is hosting a “Fan” Fest to unveil new industrial fans to keep Luther Williams Field cool this summer.

According to a Macon Bacon news release, the ballpark wasn’t built like modern-day baseball stadiums with open-air concepts to create airflow. Now, the minor league ballpark has installed four industrial fans in the grandstand.

The Macon Bacon invites the public to attend the unveiling of the new industrial fans at their “Fan” Fest 2020 on Saturday, March 21st from 11 a.m. — 2 p.m.

“This is one of the most exciting moments in our franchise’s history since Macon-Bibb County renovated Luther Williams and Opening Night in our first season,” said Team President Brandon Raphael. “We know how hot it gets at our games and we are ready for our fans to see the impact these fans will make. We are very happy that we could work with Macon-Bibb County again to make this happen.”
