Nashville is building the NFL’s next domed stadium. The new Nissan Stadium, a $2.1 billion, 60,000-seat enclosed venue for the Tennessee Titans, topped out in 2026 and is on track to open in early 2027. It replaces the open-air stadium next door on the East Bank of the Cumberland River.
Project Scope
The Tennessee Builders Alliance, a joint venture of Turner, AECOM Hunt, Polk & Associates, and ICF Builders, is constructing the stadium, which reached 75% complete by the end of March 2026. The enclosed design lets Nashville chase year-round events, from a Super Bowl to Final Fours to concerts, that an open stadium can’t reliably host. Financing leans heavily on public money: about $1.26 billion in public funds, the largest stadium subsidy in U.S. history, alongside $840 million from the Titans, who own any overruns.
Why It Matters
Domed, event-ready stadiums have become the template for cities betting on tourism and conventions, and Nashville is going all in. The subsidy size has drawn real criticism, and whether the event calendar justifies the public outlay is the open question. For the construction market, it’s one of the largest sports projects in the country and a magnet for trade labor across the Southeast.
