Nashville, Tennessee – The Tennessee Titans and Bridgestone hosted a groundbreaking Girls Flag Football Field Day at Nissan Stadium on September 30, 2025. This year marked the third consecutive season of collaboration between the Titans and Bridgestone, with approximately 100 high school athletes participating from five different Metro Nashville Public Schools. The event set a record as the largest girls flag football field day ever held at Nissan Stadium.
The day began with an interactive panel focused on female leadership and breaking barriers. The panel featured prominent women, including Amie Wells, Director of Broadcasting for the Titans; Tina Ruffin, Vice President of Engagement for the Titans; Chloe Holladay, a Titans majorette and social media creator; and Caitlyn Ranson, Director of Brand Partnerships and Event Activations for Bridgestone Americas. The panelists shared their career journeys and inspired the young female athletes to pursue their dreams. Ranson emphasized that the partnership highlights the power of sports in helping young women develop leadership skills.
Following the panel, the athletes participated in various football drill stations led by the Titans offensive line. Activities included a relay race aimed at developing agility, a “capture the football” station to work on defensive skills, and a game of ultimate football. Titans guard Peter Skorosnki noted the competitiveness and enjoyment displayed by the young athletes throughout the event.
Among the participants was Nia Murphy, a junior quarterback at Stratford High School, who expressed her passion for flag football and advocated against gender limitations in sports. Her teammate, Juliana Johnson, highlighted how flag football fosters confidence and competitiveness among girls. Both athletes exemplified the spirit of empowerment that characterized the event.
At the conclusion of the field day, Bridgestone and the Titans announced a $30,000 equipment donation to be distributed among the five participating schools: East Nashville High School, Maplewood High School, Pearl-Cohn High School, Stratford High School, and Whites Creek High School.
