Early Wednesday morning, final approval was given for the Tennessee Titans’ proposed new stadium after the Metro Nashville Council voted 26-12 in favor of the financing plan in the third and final vote.
The stadium, which is set to cost $2.1 billion, is scheduled to open in 2027. After the vote passed, Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk released this statement:
“For more than 25 years, Nashville, Tennessee, has been the Titans’ home, and with the approval of the new stadium agreement, we are grateful to know the Titans will be a part of this great city and state for decades to come,” Adams Strunk said. “I remember the early days of our time here feeling all the promise and opportunity ahead, and I feel that same enthusiasm and excitement again today. We are thankful for the support of Mayor Cooper, Metro Council, the Sports Authority, the State of Tennessee, and most importantly, the people of Nashville and Tennessee as we all embark on this new chapter together.”
Adams Strunk and the Titans are kicking in $840 million of the funds needed, while public funding totaling $1.26 billion will cover the rest, making it the largest public subsidy for a stadium in United States history, according to Cassandra Stephenson and Rachel Wegner of the Tennessean.
