Field at Erlanger Park will be transformed for soccer on July 4
Professional soccer will be coming to the new Erlanger Park on July 4. Officials at a press conference said the match between CFC and Inter Miami II will be the first non-baseball use of the park that is the home of the Chattanooga Lookouts.
The match starts at 7:30 p.m. A fireworks show will take place following the conclusion of the match.
Officials said the new stadium was designed to accommodate soccer as well as baseball and other events.
The layout of the match will face the third base side, where most of the stadium seating is located.
Finley Stadium has long been the home of CFC and will apparently continue to be.
Officials said, “CFC and the Lookouts have come together to bring Chattanooga a marquee event for the community to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary.
Chattanooga FC Chief Business Officer Chad Emerson said, “In addition to the high-level soccer on the pitch we offer week-in and week-out, we’re thrilled to introduce new and exciting entertainment experiences off the pitch and throughout the summer season.
“We are thrilled to work with the Chattanooga Lookouts to play our July 4th match at Erlanger Park with fireworks to wrap up the evening.”
“Hosting this July 4th match at Erlanger Park is an incredible opportunity for both of our organizations and for the city we love,” said Chattanooga Lookouts President Rich Mozingo. “Erlanger Park was built to bring the community together, and partnering with Chattanooga FC for a night of soccer, celebration, and fireworks is exactly the kind of experience we hoped this ballpark would inspire. We can’t wait to welcome fans for what promises to be a truly special Independence Day in Chattanooga.”
