Chattanooga's Erlanger Park: More than a Ballpark

The Chattanooga Lookouts will move into a new ballpark next season. After spending 25 years at AT&T Field, the Southern League club will make Erlanger Park its new home. The stadium is designed with fan comfort and modern amenities in mind, featuring an aesthetic that complements the charm of “The Scenic City.”

The venue will feature two restored historic buildings that will be incorporated into the ballpark’s design. The Pattern Shop, built in 1936, will become a large indoor event venue, and its second floor will contain 17,000 square feet of space and a 7,500 square foot deck overlooking the field. The ground floor will house a food hall, the team offices, and a conference room.

The Powerhouse is the oldest building on the site and dates back to 1882. It sits along the Tennessee River Walk and will serve as the entrance to Erlanger Park. The building will also feature a two-level, indoor and outdoor event space.

The stadium’s main concourse will serve as an extension of the River Walk and a public space on non-event days. Fans will also be greeted by views of Lookout Mountain and a variety of seating options. The Lookouts have announced that the entry price to games at Erlanger Park will be lower than what fans paid at AT&T Field last year.

"Erlanger Park will blend Chattanooga’s proud industrial legacy with state-of-the-art amenities to become the region’s prime meeting place,” said Jim Coleman Jr., president and CEO of Erlanger.

The Home Plate Club is a private, air-conditioned area that is enclosed in glass on all sides. The club will provide access for all patrons to a full-service bar, high-top tables, and chairs. Other group areas include field boxes and half-rounds that entertain smaller groups of fans with full wait service and mobile ordering.

The stadium will offer the Cabanas in right-centerfield; it is a lively bar area that provides a social atmosphere that is fun and upscale. These are private areas that will be sold on a nightly basis and come with twelve tickets.

The berm will be the family-friendly area of the ballpark atop the left field wall. The ticket prices for the berm are the most affordable option, allowing families to lay out a blanket, providing kids a green space to run around, and allowing access to the kids' play area in the left field corner.

The 40,000 square foot venue will be more than just a baseball stadium, but a climate-controlled venue that can host weddings, concerts, and banquets. Erlanger Park will be the entertainment venue in The Scenic City.

Opening day is scheduled for April 14, 2026.
