Jim Frost Stadium is the dream of Jim Frost, owner of Frost Cutlery, who had a passion for helping the youth in Chattanooga. Construction on the stadium and centerpiece of Warner Park began during the summer of 1997. UTC opened its two million-plus dollar home on April 20, 1998, against Southeastern Conference foe Tennessee, drawing a standing-room-only crowd of 3,521.
The 3,000 seat stadium includes 1st-base, 3rd-base and outfield bleachers and 800 chairback seats behind home plate. Amenities included are concession stands, restrooms, a glass-enclosed press box, two sky boxes, climate controlled locker rooms connected to the dugouts, batting cages and bullpens.
In the fall of 2009, the playing field was given a makeover when the President of AstroTurf, located in nearby Dalton, Ga., Brian Peoples and his family donated its GameDay Grass 3D artificial turf for the apron of the field from first to third base. The Power-"C" logo is etched into the turf down each line in foul territory and a Frost Stadium logo is behind home plate. The Lady Mocs now have one of the best playing fields in the nation.
