Erlanger Park

OVERVIEW

Erlanger Park, the new home of the Chattanooga Lookouts, is a 157,800-square-foot multi-use stadium that serves as the centerpiece of Chattanooga’s South Broad District redevelopment. Designed to host Chattanooga Lookouts games, concerts, festivals, and community events, this venue transforms a former industrial site into a vibrant year-round destination for residents and visitors.

Blending the city’s industrial heritage with modern design, Erlanger Park incorporates two preserved historic buildings:

The Pattern Shop (1936): The centerpiece of the park, this restored structure will house a spacious indoor event venue with 17,000+ sq. ft. of open space, a 7,500 sq. ft. deck overlooking the field, a food hall, and the Lookouts’ offices.
The Powerhouse (1882): The oldest building on site, this riverfront landmark will serve as the park’s main entrance and a flexible, two-level event space with indoor and outdoor areas.

Together, these elements make Erlanger Park a premier gathering place for Chattanooga and a key anchor in the revitalized Foundries District.

operational excellence, proactive planning, and collaborative approach

Since 1968, we have taken pride in constructing and renovating some of the Scenic City’s most iconic buildings, including the former home for the Chattanooga Lookouts at AT&T Field. The completion of Erlanger Park continues that legacy, marking another milestone in EMJ’s longstanding commitment to the Chattanooga community.

Despite significant weather challenges throughout the project, construction progressed with the project team’s hard work in continually adapting schedules, sequencing, and managing site operations to keep work moving safely and efficiently. Through careful planning and close coordination among project partners, construction remained on track, allowing the stadium to welcome fans in time for Opening Day and marking a major milestone for both the Lookouts organization and the Chattanooga community.

Lookouts President, Rich Mozingo, shared high praise to EMJ and the effort put forth to deliver this project:

“Throughout the development of Erlanger Park, EMJ was more than a construction partner, they were a true collaborator. From the beginning, they understood that this ballpark was about more than baseball; it was about creating a destination that would serve the entire Chattanooga community. Their expertise, commitment to quality, and ability to navigate a highly complex project helped ensure that Erlanger Park became a place where families, businesses, and visitors can gather year-round. We’re proud of what we accomplished together and grateful for EMJ’s role in delivering a facility that will benefit our region for generations to come.”

That kind of recognition doesn’t happen by chance; it’s a direct reflection of the grit and teamwork shown by everyone on the ground.

EMJ is proud to have been a part of a project that will welcome generations of fans, families, and visitors while creating lasting opportunities for the community. We are grateful to our clients, trade partners, and every team member whose collaboration made this transformative project possible.
