Erlanger Park

OVERVIEW

Erlanger Park is the new home of the Chattanooga Lookouts and serves as a year-round destination for sports, entertainment, and community events. Located in the South Broad District, the venue is part of Chattanooga’s first Community Benefits Agreement. This agreement ensures meaningful, long-term impact for local residents.

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.

Despite a soggy season at AT&T Field, progress on Erlanger Park continued and the home of the Chattanooga Lookouts was delivered before opening day.

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.

Huge kudos to the project team for staying focused and forward-moving, rain or shine.
