The First Company to Bring Misting Fans to Football Sidelines Expands Product Line with Aluminum Cooling Benches and Shade Structures

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Fogg, Inc. is excited to announce the expansion of its cooling product line with the introduction of new aluminum cooling benches and overhead shade structures to effectively keep players cool. The Big Fogg cooling benches will make their 2024 primetime debut on both sidelines of the Colorado vs. University of Arizona game tomorrow in Tucson where temperatures are projected to be 100 degrees at kickoff.

The Big 12 matchup will feature six Big Fogg air-conditioned cooling benches on each sideline as well as six 12-foot-long overhead shade structures.

The innovative 8-foot cooling benches are carefully crafted to offer increased ventilation and provide heightened levels of cooling for players. The aluminum material reflects the sun and has proven to be a superior product over hybrid heating and cooling benches. The cooling benches working in conjunction with Big Fogg shade structures provide cool and comfortable sideline even in excessive heat.

"We are thrilled to provide not only our aluminum benches, but shade structures that will protect the players from intense sun rays," said Christopher Miehl, President Big Fogg. "The heat can be brutal for athletes and we're just happy to offer products to effectively keep them cool and help them avoid heat-related illnesses and injuries."

Big Fogg is no stranger to highly anticipated college showdowns. The company, with its fiberglass heating benches, was on the sidelines of last week's thrilling Oregon win over Ohio State. Big Fogg was also on hand with misting fans at the Red River Rivalry game where No. 1 ranked Texas dominated over the Oklahoma Sooners.

"The kickoff temp was like 92 degrees and Big Fogg loves animals, so we donated fans to cool down Bevo," said Miehl.

Bevo is Texas' iconic live mascot, a Longhorn steer that is the color of burnt orange and weighs in at over 2000 pounds.

Big Fogg, a pioneer in sideline cooling, is proud to support NCAA football with its extensive lineup of cooling and heating products that are available for rent or purchase. Big Fogg also provides technicians to install and maintain the products on a game-by-game basis. For more information, visit bigfogg.com.
