Staff at Finley Stadium have been hard at work to welcome old friends and new fans to a venue with plenty to offer in 2025. With more than 500 event activations in 2024 and over 450,000 visitors coming through the gates at Finley last year, the stadium now has new LED lighting, newly-renovated elevators and public safety upgrades, along with new partners, to welcome event goers.
Moe’s Southwest Grill and local favorite Mac’s Subs and Fries offer new dining options for guests through placement of permanent concession stands at the venue.
They will join stadium staples The Max Grilleworks, Chestnut Bakes and the Fort Finley Grab-N-Go Market. In addition, stadium leadership announced that Coca-Cola is now the “Official Fan Experience Partner of Finley Stadium” and will be partnering annually in new fan-first initiatives to enhance the guest experience as part of the long-term pouring rights contract extension.
Finley Stadium Executive Director Brian Wright said, “We couldn’t be more pleased with the updates to the stadium and additional offerings that will make fans want to return over and over again to enjoy the place where Chattanooga plays. We are grateful for relationships with our vending partners and sports partners that make all of this possible.”
Chattanooga FC’s home opener will introduce “Bottomless Fountain Sodas” at all concession stands featuring Coca-Cola products. Darren Hodges, vice president of Coca-Cola UNITED’s Tennessee Valley Division said, “Coca-Cola has been a part of Chattanooga for 125 years and we’re excited about the upcoming season and events coming to Finley that will allow us to be part of the stadium’s present and future. We’re excited to greet fans coming out for CFC’s home opener on March 15.”
Fans will also have the opportunity to score the first-ever CFC souvenir cup. The 20-ounce cup will be just $3 over normal price and will come in handy for refills at each match.
Derrall Stalvey, senior VP of Strategy with Chattanooga FC said, “This season is one that excites us so much! From new lighting and upgrades within the facility to the special relationship with Coca-Cola and new food vendors, we’re ready for a new season featuring a talented team ready to take on Huntsville City FC in a few short days.”
Mr. Wright added that Skybox 201 has also undergone a significant renovation and is available for single game and season long rental. “We know that fans love to celebrate in multiple ways and providing a private skybox for corporate guests and organizations is a great way to view the action on the field. We’re proud to offer this option to our guests.”
