Case Study: ESPN X Games

Problem

When ESPN brought its annual summer X Games to Austin, Texas, the sports network found the heat as extreme as the competitions. The 90°F (32°C) temperatures made the event uncomfortable and potentially dangerous for the athletes and 160,000 spectators. The world’s most elite extreme sports event needed an equally extreme cooling solution.

Solution

Big Ass Fans® brought the big air, cutting through the heat with more than 30 Black Jack, AirGo® and Yellow Jacket® portable fans. Ranging between 30 in. (76 cm) to 8 ft. (2.4 m) in diameter, these mobile fans cooled guests and athletes alike. Massive airflow and misting kits throughout the venue shifted the focus from the intense Texas climate to the extreme competition.
