Calling all soccer fans. The Chattanooga Red Wolves have a packed schedule this season, and we’ve got the inside scoop on how to get back inside CHI Memorial Stadium and defend the den.
Here are six things fans won’t want to miss this season:
The Home Opener
There’s nothing quite like the return of soccer season. For the Red Wolves, home openers historically mean home wins. The club is undefeated in every home opener in its history and will look to keep its streak alive against Forward Madison on Sat., April 2 at CHI Memorial Stadium. Find tickets (starting at $15) here.
$2 beer nights + specialty cocktails
On select nights throughout the season, $2 domestic beers are offered at CHI Memorial Stadium. If it isn’t a $2 beer night, don’t fret. The stadium offers local craft beers + domestic beers ($4 regularly), liquor, and specialty cocktails (like their signature “Cardiac Punch”) at every game.
The atmosphere at CHI Memorial Stadium
Whether you’re watching the game from the brand-new Sky Suites, the Executive Club Bar & Lounge (unfortunately already sold out for the entire 2022 season), or in the grandstands just feet away from the field, CHI Memorial Stadium provides a one-of-a-kind fan experience.
Designed to mirror the intimacy of European and South American stadiums, every seat in CHI Memorial Stadium puts you right in the action. Pair that with the loud, passionate fans, and you’re bound to feel the energy.
Fireworks, fireworks, and more fireworks

Who doesn’t love fireworks? The Red Wolves fireworks shows are some of the best in town, and you can catch them this season at CHI Memorial Stadium. This year’s matches featuring postgame fireworks are slated for Saturdays: May 28, July 23, and Oct. 1.
Dramatic endings
With 11 goals scored in the 85th minute or later in 10 different matches in 2021, Chattanooga quickly earned the nickname “The Cardiac Red Wolves” throughout USL League One. To cap it off, the Red Wolves secured their first home playoff win ever last fall with a 113th minute game-winning goal to reach the USL League One Semi Finals. With leading scorer Juan Galindrez returning for the 2022 season, the dramatic endings should, too.
Exciting professional soccer
No matter who the Red Wolves are playing, fans are bound to see exciting, professional soccer. Whether it’s young pros like former North Texas SC star Ricardo Pepi, who broke the MLS Homegrown Player transfer record after being sent to FC Augsburg for $20 million this January, or seasoned veterans like Red Wolves forward David Texeira, a former FC Dallas designated player in the MLS and former teammate of Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk, USL League One is full of talented + entertaining players.
Catch the Red Wolves’ home opener on Sat., Apr. 2 vs. Forward Madison, and keep an eye out for future home matches. Pro tip: Bookmark this list to get the most out of CHI Memorial Stadium this season.*
