Saturday marks one month until Opening Day at Erlanger Park.

The Chattanooga Lookouts will take the field at their brand-new stadium for the first time on Tuesday, April 14 at 7 p.m. against the Montgomery Biscuits. Opening Day is sold out, but you can still catch a game during Opening Week. Here’s a reminder of what’s planned — click any of the dates below to buy tickets.

If you can’t make it during Opening Week — don’t fret — you’ll have 63 more chances to cheer on the Lookouts at home this year. Check out the full schedule, plus the first and second waves of promotions at the park. Psst — even though some of them are months out, you can still snag tickets right now.

Not sure where you’d like to sit? You have so many options now. Watch this virtual tour that shows all the different seating options (as well as other parts of the park). Some of the best views are in the Home Plate Club, Club 400 in center field, and the suites.

Know before you go

  • Gates open at 5:30 p.m. on Opening Day. Our advice? Arrive early to check out the new park before first pitch.
  • For all other games this season, gates open one hour before first pitch.
  • Parking will initially be available in multiple unpaved lots around the stadium, with 2,700 spots available on Opening Day. Parking garages are planned nearby as the South Broad District develops.
  • Come hungry — the stadium will serve classic ballpark fare plus elevated options in the food hall. Don’t like waiting in line? You’ll love the new grab-and-go self-checkout option.
  • If you’d like an adult beverage before the game, Creature Comforts Brewing Company will serve its award-winning beer inside “The Shed,” a historic foundry building adjacent to the park. They’re hoping to be up and running by Opening Day. Fingers crossed.

We’re officially counting down the days to the first game at Erlanger Park. If you’re just as excited as we are, you can keep an eye on the field’s progress through this live construction camera.
