The Chattanooga Steam is Chattanooga, Tennessee's one and only men's semi-pro football team. The Steam play in the Deep South Football League (March through May) or DSFL and the Southeastern American Football League (July-November) or SEAFL. The Steam currently play their home games at Lookout Valley High School in southern Chattanooga. ^[1]

Players age range from 18 to mid 40's.

The name "Chattanooga Steam" was made because the original owners of the ball club wanted their team to be Chattanooga's team. Due to the railroad history of the city, they felt that a train should be incorporated, and simply moved the "S" from "Chattanooga's" and added it to "team." The result was the Chattanooga Steam.

The Steam have been ranked by the Minor League Football News Top 25 in 2008. On April 6, they received their highest ranking at #11 in the United States. ^[2]
