A football and soccer stadium club at a facility in Chattanooga, Tenn., will be overhauling its premium seating experience, stadium officials announced in early January.
Finley Stadium — the home stadium for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team and the Division 3 pro Chattanooga FC soccer team — will have its Stadium Club section renovated and renamed the Ultra Club.
Stadium officials said the Board for the Stadium Corporation, the operating entity of Finley Stadium, met to approve the major projects set to complete in 2024, including the club seating renovation.
Michelob Ultra owns the naming rights for the new section, dubbing it the Ultra Club.
The newly renovated club will feature an all-new climate-controlled interior, new storefront entry, with a newly constructed bar and various seating and lounge areas.
The Ultra Club will also feature a new, elevated menu curated by an in-house chef, as well as access to a full-service bar.
Plans include a state-of-the-art video wall and private restrooms.
Construction on the Ultra Club is expected to be complete by late spring 2024 and is available for private and corporate events for up to 250 guests. [Finley Stadium]
