Tennessee Titans' new enclosed stadium on track for February 2027 completion
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The countdown is on for the completion of the Tennessee Titans ' new enclosed stadium with the project on target to meet its three-year timeline. Time is ticking away fast.
"We’re going to get keys to this building in February,” Titans President and CEO Burke Nihill said Tuesday. The Titans took reporters on tours Tuesday showing off the progress that has been made and update what remains to be done on the new Nissan Stadium project that broke ground Feb. 29, 2024, with the target of the NFL team moving in for the 2027 season.
The locker room has metal walls in place now with space for 68 fixed lockers along with showers, a trainers' area and equipment storage. Builders designed the room with an extra beam to avoid a column in the middle of that locker room to keep the space open. The result is about 50% more space than the Titans currently have in the stadium that opened in 1999 for a cost much cheaper than the $2.
1 billion tab, including $1. 2 billion combined in state and local bonds , for this stadium. “We also have dedicated offense meeting room, defense meeting room,” said Kellen DeCoursey, the Titans’ project manager.
“Something that we didn’t have in the current locker room, and I know that we’re first class in the league as far as female coaching locker facilities as well, so we’ve set the bar really high on that as well. ” The players will be able to park underground, take a short walk to the locker room and then the field itself. The Titans also have an area for players’ families and children bigger than what’s available in the current stadium along with nanny services available during games.
