New Nissan Stadium is a domed American football stadium under construction in Nashville, Tennessee for use by the Tennessee Titans, succeeding the current Nissan Stadium beginning in 2027.[2] [3]
The 60,000-seat stadium is projected to cost $2.1 billion, $1.26 billion of which is subsidized by the public. It is by far the largest stadium subsidy in U.S. history.[4]
It is to be built adjacent to Nissan Stadium, which will be demolished following the completion of the new stadium. The stadium will be designed by Manica Architecture who previously designed Allegiant Stadium, NRG Stadium and Wembley Stadium.[5]
Nissan Stadium, an open-air concrete-and-steel stadium which 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 conduct a thorough assessment of the current stadium’s condition and the cost of maintaining it for the remainder of the lease, which ends in 2039. VSG outlined a preliminary report showing it would cost the city between $1.75 and 1.95 billion to renovate Nissan Stadium as a "first class condition" facility.[6]
The $2.1 billion needed to fund the new stadium will come from a variety of sources:
The 1.7-million-square-foot proposed stadium would be a dome, have a seating capacity of 55,000-60,000, have approximately 170 luxury suites and an artificial turf field.[7] 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 and opening day set for 2027.[8]
The route of the IndyCar Series Music City Grand Prix was originally planned to be changed during the new stadium's construction period. However, on February 14, 2024, it was announced that the race would be moved to nearby Nashville Superspeedway.[9] [10]
