Titans’ Nissan Stadium ranked in bottom half of NFL

Throughout the offseason, the Tennessee Titans have revealed the renderings of their beautiful multi-billion dollar playpen that’s set to open sometime in 2027.

Nissan Stadium isn’t a bad venue by any means, but over the years it has become completely outdated in comparison to some of the modern-day stadiums that have been built over the last decade or so.

The Titans have done a good job of doing minor tweaks to the venue here and there, but no matter what they do, it’s going to be impossible for Nissan Stadium to realistically compete with some of the incredible venues around the league, such as the ones located in Minnesota, Los Angeles, and Dallas.

It also hasn’t been around long enough to have the mystique of a place like Lambeau Field.

Therefore, it’s not a surprise to see Nissan Stadium ranked in the middle of the pack in the recent NFL stadium rankings created by The Athletic’s Jon Machota, who put the venue at No. 18. Here’s what he wrote:

The Titans home since 1999 finishes up what should be considered the middle of the three tiers of NFL stadiums. Tennessee is expected to break ground on a new stadium next year with the plans of playing in the new venue in 2027.

While this is a fair ranking for now, it’s pretty safe to assume the Titans will be ranked much higher on this list throughout the back half of the decade.
