Tennessee Titans’ $2.1bn Stadium Tops Out in Nashville

The Tennessee Titans’ new $2.1 billion stadium hit a major milestone on Nov. 21 as the final steel beam was placed, signalling the topping out of the 1.8-million-square-foot venue.

The achievement was led by the Tennessee Builders Alliance, a joint venture of Turner Construction, AECOM Hunt, Polk & Associates, and ICF Builders & Consultants. 

The management team behind this project has worked on a variety of NFL stadium projects, including SoFi Stadium in California and Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The team has coordinated the installation of more than 12,400 steel beams weighing 18,000 tons and the pouring of nearly 98,000 cubic yards of concrete for the New Nissan Stadium.

The next phase will focus on installing the stadium’s translucent Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene roof, designed to bring in natural light while controlling temperature.

The New Nissan Stadium, whose construction has been underway since March 2024, will feature 360-degree outdoor porches, a 12,000‑sq‑ft community centre, and 60,000 seats.

Turner highlighted the project’s workforce achievements, saying: “So far, our team has recorded 3.6 million hours worked by approximately 1,800 onsite workers each day. Of that total, 18.5% of hours have been performed by residents of Nashville’s Promise Zones.”

The project has also supported nearly 100 small, women- and minority-owned businesses, paying them more than $110 million. The Titans Construction Training Camp has graduated 96 participants, with more than three-quarters receiving job offers.

The stadium now remains on track to open in 2027.

“The New Titans Stadium is slowly taking form,” the team said last year. “Excavation of the site is halfway done, and about 30% of columns have already gone in.”

The current open-air concrete-and-steel stadium, with a capacity of 69,000, will be demolished once the new venue is ready. 

The project is funded by $840 million from the team, $500 million from Tennessee, and $760 million from revenue bonds repaid via seat licenses and stadium taxes.

Confirmed by a 26–12 vote of the Metro Nashville Council on 25 April 2023, the financing plan is the largest stadium subsidy in U.S. history.
