AT&T Field, home to the Chattanooga Lookouts for 25 years, will be torn down this summer after the minor league baseball team moved south to Erlanger Park.
River City Co., a private nonprofit focused on downtown development, has engaged a demolition contractor to begin the process soon.
“We do not have an exact timeline for demolition at this moment,” Emily Mack, president and CEO of River City Co., said in an interview. “We do anticipate that demolition will take roughly three months.”
River City Co. is paying for the demolition, and no taxpayer dollars will be used, Mack said. Once complete this fall, the demolition will leave a “nice green grassy knoll,” she said. The hill will be graded to its original form and seeded to grow grass.
