A new sport, pickleball, is dominating the sports scene in many places across the country, with a two-year growth rate of almost 40% and up to 4.2 million players in 2021.

Felicia was on vacation in Asheville, NC a couple of weeks ago, and had an opportunity to stop by one of our projects there – an outdoor music venue on Coxe Avenue, affectionately named Rabbit Rabbit . Metropolitan Acoustics was involved in creating sound propagation models throughout the surrounding Asheville neighborhoods for the live music that is performed there. More recently, we helped design a permanent stage structure that will be installed soon. If you’re in Asheville this summer, make sure to catch an outdoor concert at Rabbit Rabbit!
