Nissan announced Friday it has signed a 20-year naming-rights deal for the planned new home of the Tennessee Titans NFL franchise. Financial details were not disclosed.
Scheduled for completion in 2027, the $2.1 billion Nissan Stadium will host Titans home games, Tennessee State University football games, concerts and civic events.
The new venue will be built on the east side of the current stadium campus, along Nashville’s East Bank. It will sport a circular translucent roof, exterior porches with panoramic views of Nashville, and a 12,000-square-foot community space. A new development will replace the current stadium.
Tennessee is home to Nissan’s North American headquarters, a vehicle assembly plant and a powertrain factory. The automaker employs more than 11,000 people in the state.
“Nissan Stadium is a centerpiece of the Nashville skyline and has become a household name in Middle Tennessee,” Nissan Americas Chairperson Jeremie Papin said in a statement. “It is important for Nissan to keep our name on the new stadium.” read more
