Titans Unveil $2.2B Nissan Stadium Set to Transform Nashville by 2027

Nashville is entering a new era of sports, entertainment, and urban development as the Tennessee Titans break ground on a $2.2 billion next-generation stadium. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the 60,000-seat domed venue will replace the existing Nissan Stadium and anchor a broader East Bank redevelopment plan that is expected to reshape the city’s riverfront skyline.

Designed for the Future of Sports and Entertainment

The new stadium is a bold leap forward in both design and functionality. It will span approximately 1.7 million square feet, offering a fully enclosed, climate-controlled environment suitable for year-round events, including NFL games, concerts, college football championships, and international sporting events.

The facility is set to include:

• 170 luxury suites
• A wide range of premium club lounges
• Expansive concourses for enhanced fan flow
• State-of-the-art digital infrastructure
• Sustainable design elements for long-term efficiency

The seating capacity will slightly decrease from the current stadium, but fan experience will increase dramatically, with improved sightlines, acoustics, and hospitality offerings.

Investment Backed by Public and Private Partnership

The financing of the stadium represents one of the largest public-private partnerships in Tennessee’s history. The Titans will contribute $840 million, while the state has committed $500 million in funding. The remaining balance will be covered by revenue bonds issued by the Metro Sports Authority, which will be repaid over time using stadium-generated taxes, personal seat license (PSL) sales, and a newly introduced 1% hotel tax.

This financial model is expected to limit the burden on taxpayers while ensuring the stadium operates as a profitable, self-sustaining asset for the city.

A Key Part of Nashville’s East Bank Vision

Strategically located adjacent to the current Nissan Stadium, the new facility is more than just a sports venue. It’s the centerpiece of a transformative urban development along the Cumberland River known as the East Bank Master Plan. The broader plan includes new parks, pedestrian zones, residential and commercial districts, and cultural amenities.

Once the new stadium is completed, the current stadium will be demolished, clearing the way for a walkable, mixed-use waterfront neighborhood that prioritizes connectivity, sustainability, and economic vibrancy.

Community Impact and Economic Opportunity

City officials and project leaders see the stadium as a catalyst for long-term community benefit. In addition to creating thousands of construction jobs and permanent roles in operations, hospitality, and tourism, the stadium is expected to draw millions of visitors annually.

It also creates the potential for Nashville to host future Super Bowls, Final Fours, World Cup qualifiers, and other marquee events, bringing global attention and investment into Tennessee.

Timeline and What’s Next

Construction has already commenced, with crews currently working on site preparation and early foundation work. The full buildout is expected to take just over two years, with final delivery targeted for the start of the 2027 NFL season.

Once completed, the stadium will not only redefine what it means to attend a game in Nashville, it will help reposition the city as a world-class entertainment destination.
