Engel Stadium will be torn down to make room for a women's athletic complex, according to Brent Goldberg, the vice chancellor for finance and administration at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
The former home of the Chattanooga Lookouts from 1930 to 1999 has been largely unutilized since it was used as a filming location for "42" in 2012.
The sports complex will join the new Hamilton County Health Department on the site currently occupied by Engel Stadium.
