Louisville Bats to host another Nothing Night with new deals for fans
Nothing Night, the Louisville Bats promotion which excludes many of baseball's modern in-game distractions, is set to return July 8.
After its first Nothing Night at Louisville Slugger Field May 12 went viral on social media, officials for the Louisville Bats announced the promotion will return in the summer. Nothing Night , in which the Bats refrain from blasting pop music, reading ads from sponsors and hosting in-game entertainment, other than the playing of an organ, is set to return to Slugger Field for the July 8 game against the Omaha Storm Chasers, officials announced May 18. The "widespread national attention and the overwhelming fan response" from the previous Nothing Night prompted team officials to add another event to the schedule, Bats spokesperson Aaron Cheris said in a statement.
The July 8 edition of Nothing Night will also feature discounted tickets for as low as $4 per person in the LG&E Power Alley in left field. Team officials also announced $2 popcorn and 16-ounce sodas for the game and $4 hot dogs at concession stands throughout the ballpark. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.
m. After ads for the May 12 Nothing Night were posted to the Bats' social media channels, several sports media outlets highlighted the event, including ESPN , The Athletic and Front Office Sports . A video produced by the Bats showing the scenes of Nothing Night later appeared on Major League Baseball's social pages.
“We planned on this being a fun idea for one game,” Bats President Greg Galiette said in a statement from the club. “But after the positive reaction that Nothing Night received, we wanted to give fans another chance to experience a one-of-a-kind night at the ballpark. ” More: Oh, the Humidity: Louisville Bats introduce new novelty name for 2026 season Bats officials first put on a Nothing Night in 2023 and have hosted the promotion each year since, according to a news release for the July 8 event.
