Titans’ Nissan Stadium ranked among worst venues by NFL players

The Tennessee Titans are set to have a new Nissan Stadium by 2027, with the team and city of Nashville agreeing on a $2.1 billion venue that is sure to breathe new life into the franchise.

However, until then, the Titans will have to play in the old Nissan Stadium, which has gotten long in the tooth and was set to be refurbished until the franchise realized it made more sense financially to just build a new stadium.

In a recent poll done by The Athletic that asked players around the NFL for their opinions on the best and worst stadiums to play in, Nissan Stadium was ranked among the worst.

A total of 3.8 percent of the respondents named Nissan Stadium, which was tied for the seventh-highest percentage in the poll. Unfortunately, we didn’t get specifics as to why players don’t enjoy Tennessee’s home venue like we did with some of the others making the “worst” list.

Leading the way among the most-disliked stadiums in the NFL was the home venue of the New York Giants and Jets, MetLife Stadium, which received 18.4 percent of the vote.

Coming in second with 13.9 percent was FedEx Field, where the Washington Commanders play.

That stadium was recently in the news after the Commanders and Giants were forced to take cold showers because the stadium didn’t have hot water following the Week 11 contest.

While the review of Nissan Stadium isn’t great right now, that should change big time come 2027.
