New Chattanooga Lookouts owner Jason Freier held a press conference today to announce a new deck area down the left-field line at AT&T Field and a complete overall of the suite level.
The deck will give fans the ability to sit and watch from the foul area in left, where before they would have to stand.
"We believe this will make one of the most challenging places in the ballpark into one of the most popular overnight," Freier said.
Each of the suites is being gutted and by opening day will have new carpet, new paint, new furniture and a larger flat-screen television set.
"After 15 years, the suites were showing their age," Freier said, "and we wanted to make sure we were providing a true luxury experience at the ballpark."
Freier also announced that children will be able to run the bases after every home game, which has been a Sunday spectacle in recent years, and that Sundays would now also contain autograph opportunities. Every Thursday night will be "Thirsty Thursday" for adults, with drink specials beginning at $2.
The Lookouts also introduced FSG Bank as their presenting sponsor for the next three seasons.
