JIM FROST STADIUM Jim Frost Stadium is the dream of Jim Frost, owner of Frost Cutlery, who has 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-roomonly 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 Mocs play on one of the best fields in the nation.

Warner Park, the area around Frost Stadium, was rededicated in the summer of 2008 with six newly-renovated softball fields, creating a softball complex containing seven tournament softball fields including Frost Stadium. Every season, Chattanooga hosts the Frost Classic played on these fields. The facility is managed by the City of Chattanooga and the fields are professionally manicured for the Mocs and various youth tournaments that are played at Warner Park.

WHAT’s a Moc? The Evolution of the mascot

The Answer

Why Mocs?

For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of Chattanooga Athletics.

Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics department embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native American Indian imagery. Several identities have been used in the past. With the old nickname “Moccasins,” a snake was used in the 1920’s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in 1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980’s.

The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs,” and the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird, the mockingbird. Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes reflect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.

Introduced in 2008, the new-look Scrappy has a sharper and modern feel, mirroring the growth and image of UTC Athletics.

Scrappy

The committee also recognized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a great emphasis in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to simply “Mocs.” Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics programs and initiatives around this new identity. And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February 1997, combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, UTC had positioned itself to reach for the next level. From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train. The secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into the logo. This logo is affectionately called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring to the front lower grill of the train that helped push objects from the train tracks. In August 2007, officials at Chattanooga updated the school’s marks. A new C logo, the “Power C” as it has become known to fans and alums, was created as the primary mark and is emblazoned on the side of the football team’s helmets. The secondary marks were updated with a more modern look, and a new font, unique to the school, is now used on the text areas of the logos and marks.

Scrappy leads the Chattanooga Mocs football team onto the field.

2016 CHATTANOOGA SOFTBALL

Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the Chattanooga mascot, is a fixture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the image of the State Bird of Tennessee, a Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledgehammer-wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.

In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird, as the core of the new identity, while incorporating the strong regional imagery of Chattanooga’s vast railroad history. The mascot “Scrappy” was born and a new emphasis was placed on the athletics department’s role in the region.

In September 2008, Scrappy was re-branded to better match the image of a mockingbird and reflect the rich tradition of our state, our city and our University. New marks of the head as well as a full body were released. The program has also been taking special efforts to stay true to its color palette— which includes navy blue, old gold and silver.

Blackburn has also turned heads with his impressive head coaching hires. When he took over in 2013, he had the unique situation of filling vacancies in both men’s and women’s basketball. By all accounts, he nailed each hire with Will Wade and Jim Foster.

The Chattanooga community has also taken note of what is happening at UTC. The Mocs led the SoCon in attendance in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and wrestling last season. The Southern Scuffle has also grown into the top in-season wrestling tournament in the nation, while softball continues to enjoy a strong following.

All of this success came as no surprise, based on the experiences and expertise Blackburn brought to the position.

None of this has occurred by accident or happenstance. It is the culmination of extremely hard work by a very talented group of studentathletes, coaches and support staff, under the leadership of Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics David Blackburn.

In the classroom, UTC student-athletes set a school record for semester grade-point-average with a 3.11 in the spring. It was the third consecutive semester the Mocs topped a 3.0, after hitting the mark for the first time in spring of 2014. UTC had record numbers of studentathletes on the Academic All-SoCon teams, while 14 programs beat the national average for APR scores in 2014-15.
