Finley Stadium

Finley Stadium, Chattanooga stands as the crown jewel of the revitalization project for Chattanooga’s Southside. The Finley Stadium seats 20,668 spectators and is a state of the art facility ranking among the best under the Division I-FCS stadiums.

The Finley Stadium has a long history though not in the same name. The1908 Chamberlain Field was among the oldest of on-campus stadiums for the nation. The City elders were actively engaged in creating a facility appropriate to take the UTC football to higher levels in tune with the modern times and a growing city. The fruition of this engagement resulted in Finley Stadium. The project involved a financial outlay of $28.5 million and about 40% of that came through private donations. The city of Chattanooga, the Hamilton County, the State of Tennessee, and the University chipped in with the rest. Visit this facility when you travel in Chattanooga to learn more about the history of the stadium.
