Nissan Stadium

About Nissan Stadium

Nissan Stadium sits on the east bank of the Cumberland River in Nashville — a 69,143-seat open-air venue where the Tennessee Titans play football with the Nashville skyline and the glow of Broadway as a backdrop. It is one of the most scenically located stadiums in the NFL, and one that is living out its final seasons.

The Titans have called this place home since 1999, after relocating from Houston. On fall Sundays, fans stream across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge from downtown, past the honky-tonks of Broadway, to a stadium that sits in a city that never needed an excuse to celebrate. The stadium also hosts Tennessee State University football, the annual Music City Bowl, and major concerts.

Designed by HOK Sport (now Populous) and built for $292 million, the stadium opened on August 27, 1999. It has gone through several names — Adelphia Coliseum, The Coliseum, LP Field — before Nissan purchased the naming rights in 2015. The natural grass playing surface is one of the few remaining in the NFL.

A new $2.2 billion enclosed Nissan Stadium is under construction next door, scheduled to open in February 2027. The current stadium will be demolished after the Titans move to the new venue — ending a 28-year run that began with the Music City Miracle and will close as Nashville’s sports profile has never been higher.

Getting to Nissan Stadium

Public Transit

Nissan Stadium is walkable from downtown Nashville, and WeGo makes all bus rides free on Titans game days.

Walking across the Pedestrian Bridge from Broadway on game day — with the river below and the stadium ahead — is one of the great pregame experiences in the NFL.

Driving + Parking

The stadium address is 1 Titans Way, Nashville, TN 37213. I-24 and I-65 are the primary approaches.

Stadium parking lots A, B, and D are available with pre-purchased passes at $30–$50. Additional east bank lots run $20–$40. Many fans park downtown or in the Gulch ($15–$25) and walk across the Pedestrian Bridge. Tailgating is permitted in stadium lots. Pre-purchase through the Titans website or SpotHero.

Rideshare

Uber and Lyft have two designated pickup locations — Interstate Drive and South 2nd Street at Crutcher Street. From downtown Nashville hotels, expect $8–$12. From Broadway, $10–$15. Post-game surge pricing is significant — walk back across the Pedestrian Bridge to Broadway and wait 15–20 minutes for rates to settle.

The New Nissan Stadium

The Tennessee Titans are building a $2.2 billion enclosed stadium adjacent to the current venue — one of the most ambitious stadium projects in NFL history. Construction began in early 2024, and the new Nissan Stadium is scheduled to open in February 2027.

The new stadium will seat 55,000–60,000 under a non-retractable translucent ETFE roof, similar to SoFi Stadium. It will feature 170 luxury suites, 77,000 square feet of videoboards (including a wraparound “Ring of Fire” screen), a 12,000-square-foot community space, and what the Titans have described as the largest rooftop bar in America.

Nashville’s ambitions for the new venue extend far beyond football — the Titans are positioning it to host Super Bowls, NCAA Final Fours, College Football Playoffs, WrestleManias, and year-round entertainment. For a city that has grown from a regional music capital to a national sports destination, the new Nissan Stadium is the next chapter.

History of Nissan Stadium

Nissan Stadium was built after the Houston Oilers relocated to Tennessee in 1997. The $292 million project was designed by HOK Sport (now Populous) and funded through a combination of city bonds and state contributions. The stadium was built on the east bank of the Cumberland River, directly across from downtown Nashville.

First Game (August 27, 1999): The Titans hosted the Atlanta Falcons in a preseason game before a sellout crowd. The first regular-season game came on September 12, 1999, a 36–35 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Music City Miracle (January 8, 2000): In an AFC Wild Card game, Frank Wycheck threw a cross-field lateral to Kevin Dyson, who ran 75 yards for a touchdown as time expired — giving the Titans a 22–16 win over the Buffalo Bills. It remains one of the most iconic plays in NFL history.

NHL Stadium Series (February 26, 2022): The Nashville Predators hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning before 68,619 fans — the largest hockey crowd in Tennessee history.

NFL Draft (April 2019): Nashville hosted the NFL Draft with the main stage on Broadway and over 600,000 fans attending over three days — the largest Draft attendance at that time.

From the Music City Miracle to the arrival of a $2.2 billion replacement, Nissan Stadium has served as the stage where Nashville became a sports city — and where the next act is already under construction next door.
