Commission approves funding for Finley Stadium upgrades

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – Finley Stadium will soon be getting a facelift.

The Hamilton County Commission approved $600,000 to be utilized in improvements to the multi-use stadium. 

The primary improvements will be to the elevators and installation of a brand-new LED lighting system. 

The only concern brought up by commissioners is if the city will also be helping pay for the upgrade.

Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp said, “Members of the council were also invited when several of you visited Finley. What I can’t speak for is whether the timeline of which they’ll satisfy the request. Our understanding is that they intend to.”

There is no current timeline for the expected upgrades to begin.
