The sound of cleats digging into the dirt as a player slides safely into second base; the spinning of a pitcher's screw ball as it lands in the catcher's padded mitt; the umpire calling strikes while peanuts, hot dogs and soft drinks are sold among the bleachers. The sights, sounds and smells of America's favorite pastime can be experienced in Tennessee.

The crack of the bat, the sound of cleats digging into the dirt. It's game time in Tennessee.

Spend a night watching the Chattanooga Lookouts, named after Lookout Mountain, play at the AT&T Field. The stadium seats 6,160 fans and boasts luxury suites that can be rented for the season or individual games. The 14-seat Killebrew's Korner & Lookouts Loft each are $495, located on the suite level with view of the first base side. Indoor and outdoor seating provides comfortable views of the game. A preset menu is provided that includes all the traditional baseball fair along with chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese. Whenever a Lookouts batter hits a home run, its version of the Chattanooga Choo Choo chugs its way down a train track from behind the right-center field wall.
Tennessee Smokies
Watch a baseball game under the lights with the Great Smoky Mountains as your backdrop. Inspired by the Wrigley Field, the Smokies Park in Kodak houses the Tennessee Smokies, a Minor League Double-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. Able to hold more than 6,000 people, the Smokies Stadium allows fans to roam the ballpark because of a wide and uninterrupted concourse that circles around the field and covered between the dugouts. Individual tickets start at $7.50 for bleacher seats and $10.50 for field level seats.
Nashville Sounds
