Only five home games remain this season for the Chattanoog­a Lookouts. That series starts Friday, Aug. 24, continuing through Tuesday, Aug. 28, in AT&T Field, 201 Power Alley.

The Lookouts will close their home season against the Jacksonvil­le Jumbo Shrimp. Games start at 7:15 p.m. each day except Sunday, when game time is 2:15 p.m.

The final games include two more nights of fireworks and a drawing for a new car.

“Looie (the team mascot) has been riding in a 2017 Fiat all year and we’re giving away that car,” said Dan Kopf, media relations manager for the Lookouts.

Finalists’ names have been drawn from games all season and another finalist will be chosen Saturday, Aug. 25. At the end of that game, one person among those finalists will be randomly selected to win the Fiat, presented by Crown Cars of Chattanoog­a.

“It’s affordable family fun,” said Aaron Glachman, ticket operations manager, of attending a Lookouts game. “You get more bang for your buck here than anywhere in town.”

Tickets are $7 to $10, with $10 tickets for the best reserved seats available. For more informatio­n: 423-267-4849.
