Countdown For Smokies Is On
The project that will send the Tennessee Smokies to Knoxville has been given the green light this week. The Knoxville Sports Authority this week approved the developers for the new stadium being built in the Old City area of downtown Knoxville. That move gives the go ahead for construction to begin. Developers say that motorists on I-40 are not going to notice anything for a while, as they will be pouring the stadium’s foundation and putting in all the plumbing work. However, by Christmas of this year, the developer says that you should start seeing something that resembles a stadium beginning to rise up in that area. The new multi-use stadium which will be the new home of the Smokies is expected to be ready in time for the 2025 season. So, this year and next year will be your last opportunities to watch the Smokies at Smokies stadium in Kodak.
