**ESPN Reports: Tennessee Titans Add Additional \$1 Billion to Nissan Stadium Project, Aiming for 2027 NFL Season Debut**
*Nashville, TN – June 17, 2025* — The Tennessee Titans are doubling down on their commitment to delivering a world-class NFL venue, as ESPN reports that the franchise and its partners have committed an additional \$1 billion to the Nissan Stadium reconstruction project. The revamped, state-of-the-art stadium is scheduled to open in time for the 2027 NFL season.
The original plan for the new stadium, announced in 2022, was already one of the most ambitious projects in the NFL. With a price tag that was initially projected around \$2.1 billion, the additional investment now brings the total estimated cost to over \$3.1 billion. According to sources close to the project, the added funding reflects a push to enhance the stadium’s longevity, sustainability, and overall fan experience.
“This investment isn’t just about a new stadium—it’s about building a lasting legacy for Nashville and Titans fans across the country,” said Titans President and CEO Burke Nihill. “The additional funding ensures we’re not only building a modern football facility but a long-term destination for events, tourism, and community impact.”
The upgraded budget will reportedly cover premium materials, expanded seating capacity, and state-of-the-art technology upgrades, including immersive fan experiences, a retractable roof, and sustainable energy systems designed to meet LEED Gold certification standards. The Titans aim to create a multi-use facility that can host major concerts, college football, Super Bowls, and even international soccer matches.
One of the major goals of the expansion is longevity. With the additional billion dollars, the Titans and Metro Nashville hope to create a venue that will last 30-50 years with minimal major overhauls. “We want to build something that doesn’t just meet today’s standards but sets the benchmark for the future of sports and entertainment venues,” said Nihill.
Funding for the stadium has come through a combination of private investment from the Titans, NFL G-4 funding, and significant public support via revenue bonds backed by sales taxes, hotel/motel taxes, and other dedicated sources. The recent increase in private investment demonstrates the franchise’s confidence in the long-term viability of the new stadium and its importance to the city.
Nissan Stadium, originally opened in 1999, has served as the Titans’ home for over two decades. While beloved by fans, the stadium has increasingly shown its age and lacks the amenities found in newer venues around the league. The new design, developed in partnership with international architecture firm MANICA and Nashville-based Hastings Architecture, promises sweeping views of the Cumberland River and downtown Nashville, along with a more intimate, fan-friendly experience.
Construction is well underway, with the demolition of parts of the existing stadium already begun. Titans officials have confirmed that the team will continue playing at the current Nissan Stadium site until the new stadium opens for the 2027 season.
With a bold vision and significant investment, the Tennessee Titans are poised to deliver a landmark venue that matches the energy and growth of Music City.
