KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Crews are putting the finishing touches on the new home of the Smokies in downtown Knoxville.
Landscapers began laying sod Tuesday morning at Convenant Health Park. Just a few weeks earlier crews started installing seats in the stands. Developers say the stadium is on track to open by April 2025.
On top of being the home of the Smokies, the stadium will host soccer games with One Knox, along with concerts.
The price of the stadium was last reported at around $116 million, which includes a Tennessee-shaped scoreboard and a retractable pitching mound to make room for different events on the field.
The Tennessee Smokies will play their inaugural game in the stadium on April 15, 2025, and baseball fans can buy tickets for the season online. Season tickets for One Knox go on sale Nov. 12.
