Knoxville’s new stadium officially became a multi-use one with the announcement that it would be the home field for One Knoxville SC in 2025.

“Boyd Sports and the Knoxville Smokies are very proud to partner with One Knoxville to help
make the multi-use vision for the stadium a reality and to give fans a variety of excellent
experiences in our shared home,” said Randy Boyd, owner of Boyd Sports.

Knoxville’s soccer team has been playing its home game at Regal Soccer Stadium, home of the Lady Vols. Starting in 2025, it will play at Covenant Health Park, the newly official name of the stadium.

“While we have loved our time at UT’s Regal Soccer Stadium and will be forever grateful to UT
Athletics, the (new) stadium will offer several new amenities to our fans, including premium
seating and the iconic Tennessee-shaped scoreboard,” said Drew McKenna, managing partner of One Knoxville SC. “This opportunity will be transformational for One Knox fans.”

“One Knoxville SC is thrilled to officially partner with Boyd Sports to play our 2025 season in the
new Old City stadium,” McKenna said. “The vision and leadership Randy Boyd has displayed to bring this project together will permanently transform Knoxville.”

The Tennessee Smokies are playing their final two regular season home series in Kodak on Aug. 20-25 and Sept. 10-15. The Aug. 24 game was Tennessee Night and featured a Dalton Knecht bobblehead and special uniforms that were auctioned to benefit The Pat Summitt Foundation.

The weekend of Sept. 14-15 will be fan appreciation with special prizes and giveaways.

The Tennessee Smokies, which are the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, will become the Knoxville Smokies and debut at Covenant Health Park on April 15, 2025. Information about season tickets is available HERE.

Covenant Health Park will feature a retractable mound to make it easier and faster to convert from a baseball to a soccer field and back. WVLT covered the rather unique feature in a story that can be watched below.
