Finley Stadium is Chattanooga’s legacy venue.

Since opening in 1997, Finley Stadium is proud to be where Chattanooga plays. The UTC Football program welcomed fans to Finley in 1997, with the UTC Women’s Soccer team calling the venue home for most of its history. Finley proudly hosts Chattanooga Football Club, founded in 2009, and Chattanooga FC Women, established in 2013.

As Chattanooga’s largest event venue with 20,668 fixed seats, Finley Stadium has hosted major events that put Chattanooga at center stage. 

With over $8 million in upgrades since 2023, Finley Stadium is more vibrant at age 29 than every before in its history. A timeless modern industrial design, Finley is a regional staple for major sporting events, concerts, and festivals utilizing the neighboring First Horizon Pavilion and expansive 28 acre campus.
