Chattanooga’s Engel Stadium faces its final inning

Engel Stadium, once the heart of Chattanooga’s Sunday rituals and home to baseball legends like Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, is set for demolition in 2026. For generations, this ballpark wasn’t just about the game—it was where families gathered, memories were made, and history unfolded. Now, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga plans to replace it with a women’s sports center, sparking a wave of nostalgia and debate. Many locals are asking: how do we honor the spaces that shaped our community? Should the stadium’s walls and gates be preserved as a tribute, or is it time to let go? #Sports #Chattanooga #EngelStadium
