AT&T Field is a baseball stadium located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was the home of the minor league Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern League from 2000 to 2025, and is currently standing but not operating. The ballpark is set to be demolished at an undetermined date, with the land earmarked for redevelopment into a mixed-use project.[5]
The capacity of the stadium is 6,382 people, with the vast majority of seating located on the first base side. Construction of the stadium began in March 1999, and was completed for the 2000 season.[1] The stadium's first game was on April 10, 2000, a 5–4 Chattanooga win.[6]
AT&T Field was known as BellSouth Park until March 2007, when the ballpark's name was changed to reflect the purchase of BellSouth by AT&T Inc.[1]
Following the conclusion of the 2025 season, the Lookouts moved to the newly-constructed Erlanger Park, two miles south.[7] The Chattanooga Lookouts held their final regular-season game at AT&T Field on September 7, 2025.[8]
