The construction progress of Erlanger Park on November 14, 2025.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF)- The brand new home of the Chattanooga Lookouts made some announcements Friday.

Five companies; Unum, Rock City, Kubota, FirstBank, and Coca-Cola, are sponsoring various aspects of Erlanger Park.

Unum is sponsoring 16 luxury suite boxes.

FirstBank is sponsoring the home run club behind home plate.

Kubota of Chattanooga is sponsoring the Batter’s Eye Club in center field.

This is a rare feature as only five other professional ballparks have such a feature.

Rock City is sponsoring the “Rock City Barn” in right field.

This area will feature a bar along with space for games such as cornhole and foosball.

Finally, the Pattern Shop, an events space that can host gatherings up to 1,000 people at a time, will be sponsored by Coca-Cola.

Lookouts General Manager Rich Morzingo said, “It’s going to be about baseball and it’s going to be about so many other events. But it’s going to be about the flexibility of us doing so many different things…As I say it all the time, if you’re a Lookouts fan, or not a Lookouts fan. If you live in Chattanooga. You are coming into this building. There will be things for you do this in the building. We’re looking forward not only to April 14 of next year, but for many, many years to come to have you guys out for every single thing you can think of.”

All of the sponsors say they are honored to be a part of the new ballpark, including Firstbank’s Market President Jim McKenzie, who says he put together the private financing involved for the stadium.

McKenzie said, “It wasn’t easy. As Jason knows, in fact it was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my banking career. There are a lot of moving parts and were a lot of obstacles to overcome, but it all worked out.”

The construction is on target as Morzingo says things are moving smoothly for the $115 million project.

Morzingo said, “The field is starting to go in right this minute. Drainage for the field is going in right this minute. Seats are coming in pretty soon. You are going to continue to see fun things that are going to really make it look like a ballpark real soon.”

Erlanger Park is still on track for first pitch April 14, 2026.
