The Titans are latest pro sports team to not-so-sneakily push for public cash for new stadium

Objectively speaking, the Titans’ current home digs of Nissan Stadium are pretty cozy with all things considered. It’s only 23-years-old but has all the concert/sporting events/festival versatility you’d expect from modern communal architecture.

Massive, luminous stadium lights as tall as skyscrapers. Easy walking access to the heart of downtown Nashville. Just about 69,000 seats. The works.

Knowing this about the stadium makes it strange it’s somehow not good enough for the Titans’ executives — like CEO Burke Nihill. In fact, they think so lowly of it that they’d stop spending money on it purely so they can get a new one. It’s like a little kid begging for a new toy that they really, really don’t need: “Pretty, please, Nashville!”
