The 60,000-seat stadium is projected to cost $2.1 billion, including $1.26 billion of public money—the largest stadium subsidy in U.S. history.[4]
It is being built next to the original Nissan Stadium, which will be demolished after its completion. The stadium is being designed by Manica Architecture, which also designed Allegiant Stadium, NRG Stadium and Wembley Stadium.[5]
The stadium will host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030, which will be the first Super Bowl in Nashville.[6]
History
Background
Nissan Stadium, an open-air concrete-and-steel stadium that seats 69,000, has served as the home venue for the Tennessee Titans since its opening in 1999. The city hired an independent group, Venue Solutions Group (VSG), to assess its condition and the cost of maintaining it for the remainder of the lease, which ends in 2039. VSG's preliminary report concluded that it would cost the city between $1.75 and 1.95 billion to renovate Nissan Stadium as a "first class condition" facility.[7]
Planning and construction
The $2.1 billion cost of the new stadium will come from:
- $840 million from the team
- $500 million from the state of Tennessee
- $760 million from revenue bonds issued by the Metro Sports Authority to be repaid via personal-seat license sales and taxes collected at the stadium and additional money from a new 1% hotel/motel tax.
The 1.7-million-square-foot proposed stadium would be a dome, have a seating capacity of 55,000–60,000, have about 170 luxury suites and an artificial turf field.[8] The Titans would sign a 30-year lease to play in the stadium.
The financing program was confirmed by a 26–11 vote on April 25, 2023. Construction began in 2024.[9]
The route of the IndyCar Series Music City Grand Prix, which ran on city streets, was originally to be changed during the new stadium's construction. However, on February 14, 2024, it was announced that the race would be moved to nearby Nashville Superspeedway which also hosted the race in 2025 and 2026.[10][11]
In July 2025, a noose was discovered, delaying construction of New Nissan Stadium while the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department investigated. On July 24, it was announced that no charges would be filed in the incident.[12]
In May 2026 it was reported that the stadium was expected to host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030.[13]
