Chattanooga, it’s finally here — Opening Day at Erlanger Park. The Lookouts will play their first game in their brand-new stadium at 7 p.m. tonight.

Here’s what you need to know before heading out the door.

Opening Day details

Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and if we were you, we’d get there early to check out the park, kids zone, and pregame ceremonies before the first pitch.
The game starts at 7 p.m. against the Montgomery Biscuits.
Reserved seats are sold out, but as of Monday afternoon, $9 concourse passes were still available.
All attendees will get a clear Lookouts bag and a schedule magnet.
There will be a fireworks show after the game.

Can’t make it to Opening Night? Here’s what’s happening the rest of the week.

Keep it clear + digital

All bags bigger than 6x10 inches will need to be clear. If you don't have a clear bag, don't fret — the Lookouts will be giving them out for free tonight.
Game tickets are digital only, so make sure you have them ready on your phone.
Erlanger Park is cashless, but gift cards can be purchased in the team store.

Parking options

There are two unpaved lots near the stadium, and parking will cost $8 at both.
The larger lot at the corner of 28th and Sidney streets holds about 1,300 vehicles.
The smaller lot on Chestnut Street holds about 800 vehicles.
Other options include a small private lot on Chestnut Street and the Finley Stadium lot.

Other updates

The Tennessee Riverwalk and W. 26th Street trailhead have reopened next to Erlanger Park with new lighting, landscaping, and increased parking.
The Creature Comforts beer garden next to Erlanger Park opens this Friday, April 17 at 4 p.m., so you can check it out before the 7 p.m. game.
