Tennessee
The construction of the new Nissan Stadium for the Tennessee Titans has reached the halfway mark, with plans on track for completion by February 2027. The project, which began on February 29, 2024, is expected to last a total of 36 months. Currently, about 18 months into the project, 63% of the essential steelwork and precast concrete work have been completed, with more than half of the masonry tasks, including the construction of walls and elevator shafts, also finished.
In addition to the construction updates, ticket sales for the new stadium have been promising, with a remarkable 70% of the stadium’s seating already sold. This high demand is attributed mainly to current season ticket holders choosing to retain their commitments, allowing for a strong foundation of loyal fans heading into the new facility. Notably, premium seating options have been sold out, while the remaining availability primarily consists of tickets in the 400 level. The seating design has been significantly improved; each chair is now approximately 38% closer to the field than they were in the previous stadium, enhancing the viewing experience for attendees.
Furthermore, suite sales are also flourishing, with only six out of a total of 130 suites still available for purchase. Among these, three of the “Touchdown” suites, which are the closest to the end zone, remain open to buyers. The public funding commitment supporting this project amounts to what is considered the largest for an NFL stadium, totaling approximately $1.2 billion sourced from state and local bonds, contributing to the overall project cost of $2.1 billion.
Construction Progress and Infrastructure
Each day, approximately 1,400 workers are present at the construction site, contributing to the significant progress being made. The next big milestone in construction involves installing a translucent roof, similar to those at SoFi Stadium and Allegiant Stadium, with completion targeted for October 2026. The new stadium will stand tall at 235 feet due to a cable-suspension system, reaching a height substantially greater than the current light standards at the existing stadium, which stand at 155 feet.
As of early September, the installation of metal panels and windows is underway, with 185 glass curtain wall units already in place. This addition not only improves the stadium’s aesthetics but also enhances the overall fan experience.
Enhanced Features for Fans
The new Nissan Stadium is designed to create an engaging atmosphere by possessing a coliseum-like feel, ensuring that fans will enjoy their time at the venue. Significant efforts are being made to improve access to the field; a dedicated parking garage for players will be constructed beneath a new terrace. This feature will include two entrances designed for easier access during pregame warmups and introductions. With these enhancements, the Titans aim to provide a state-of-the-art experience for both players and fans alike.
Looking Ahead
With construction well underway and plans progressing, the anticipation surrounding the new Nissan Stadium continues to grow among Titans fans and the local community. The project not only promises a new home for the team but also aims to invigorate the surrounding area, presenting potential for increased economic activity and community engagement ahead of its 2027 opening.
