Chattanooga, it’s finally here — Opening Day at Erlanger Park. The Lookouts will play their first game in their brand-new stadium at 7 p.m. tonight.
Here’s what you need to know before heading out the door.
Opening Day details
- Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and if we were you, we’d get there early to check out the park, kids zone, and pregame ceremonies before the first pitch.
- The game starts at 7 p.m. against the Montgomery Biscuits.
- Reserved seats are sold out, but as of Monday afternoon, $9 concourse passes were still available.
- All attendees will get a clear Lookouts bag and a schedule magnet.
- There will be a fireworks show after the game.
Can’t make it to Opening Night? Here’s what’s happening the rest of the week.
Keep it clear + digital
- All bags bigger than 6x10 inches will need to be clear. If you don’t have a clear bag, don’t fret — the Lookouts will be giving them out for free tonight.
- Game tickets are digital only, so make sure you have them ready on your phone.
- Erlanger Park is cashless, but gift cards can be purchased in the team store.
Parking options
- There are two unpaved lots near the stadium, and parking will cost $8 at both.
- The larger lot at the corner of 28th and Sidney streets holds about 1,300 vehicles.
- The smaller lot on Chestnut Street holds about 800 vehicles.
- Other options include a small private lot on Chestnut Street and the Finley Stadium lot.
Other updates
- The Tennessee Riverwalk and W. 26th Street trailhead have reopened next to Erlanger Park with new lighting, landscaping, and increased parking.
- The Creature Comforts beer garden next to Erlanger Park opens this Friday, April 17 at 4 p.m., so you can check it out before the 7 p.m. game.
