CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- Mr. Indiana Jones, also known as Harrison Ford, will be shooting his next feature film in the Scenic City.
More specifically, the shoot will happen at historic Engel Stadium, the former home to the Negro League. It makes sense, because it's a film about Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play in the major leagues.
"It's exciting, I think baseball is an important part of Chattanooga's past," Executive Director of the Chattanooga History Center Daryl Black says.
Black says part of that little known past was Chattanooga's two Negro League teams, the Black Lookouts in the 20s and the Chattanooga Choo-Choo's in the 40s.
While Jackie Robinson himself didn't play for them, a teenager named Willie Mays did.

I see Crutchfield has already taken her credit.
Anyone know exactly where in north GA they will be filming?
