Tennessee Agree to Massive $2.1 Billion Domed Stadium Deal With the Titans
It appears as though Nashville is getting a new football stadium and, along with it, a possible chance at hosting the Super Bowl. Earlier this week, Nashville Mayor John Cooper signed a deal with the Tennessee Titans to build a new domed stadium that is estimated to cost a whopping $2.1 billion. The Titans are owned by Amy Adams Strunk, who owns half of the franchise, with the other half being owned by the rest of her family.

According to reports, out of the $2.1 billion needed to build the stadium, $800 million will be put up by the ownership group of the Titans and $500 million will be invested by the state of Tennessee. The NFL will also pitch in $200 million for the cause.
The 1.7-million-square-foot stadium will have a dome, making it possible to host a Super Bowl and other major events year-round. It will be located east of Nissan Stadium, along the East Bank.

After the announcement, owner Amy Adams Strunk shared her thoughts on the deal. She said, “When my father brought this team to Tennessee 25 years ago, I don’t think he could have imagined a better home for our organization. The way the people of Tennessee have embraced this team as their own is truly something special, and I am thrilled that with this new agreement, we will cement our future here in Nashville for another generation.”
