American Legion World Series Keeter Stadium

Our Solution Story

As the American Legion completed the expansion of the seating at Keeter Stadium, it became clear that the existing sound system could not serve all fans adequately. Some ticket-holders complained of sound that was too soft, while fans in other areas were bombarded with too much sound.

dB addressed the issue with a series of Danley OS Product speakers spread throughout the bleachers. Each speaker covers a relatively small area, resulting in smoother, more even distribution of sound.

The primary control for the audio system is through a Q-Sys platform located in the press box, from which the announcer’s mic or music can be distributed throughout the facility. In this distributed loudspeaker system, the main loudspeakers cover the stadium’s main seating bowl. Separate loudspeakers cover the following ancillary areas: a vendor area behind the third base dugout, concessions and parking behind the first base dugout, bullpen and staging areas for pregame presentations, the ticketing and main entrance concourse, and the Lowe’s VIP building.

But the park property is also home to the club facilities for the local American Legion post. The Lowe’s VIP Building sits near the first base line of the baseball field and has a large lounge that looks out on the field, two private rooms also overlooking the field, a kitchen, and a conference room. All these spaces employ a distributed audio system using ceiling speakers, which allows occupants to hear audio feed from the stadium and control the volume separately in each room.
