Located in the “Music City” along the banks of the Cumberland River and just across from downtown Nashville, Nissan Stadium has been home to the Tennessee Titans since 1999. The franchise’s roots trace back to 1960, when it was established as the Houston Oilers. For more than 25 seasons, the team played at the Astrodome, the nation’s first multipurpose domed stadium.

By the mid-1980s, team owner Bud Adams had grown dissatisfied with the Astrodome, citing its relatively small capacity and outdated amenities. In 1987, Adams threatened relocation to Jacksonville, prompting Houston officials to renovate the stadium by adding approximately 10,000 seats and additional luxury suites. Despite these upgrades, concerns persisted, and by the 1990s Adams was advocating for a new domed stadium in downtown Houston. Although he pledged $85 million toward construction, local support for public funding did not materialize.

After failing to secure a new facility, the franchise turned its attention to Nashville. On May 5, 1996, voters in metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County approved a $144 million bond to fund stadium construction. Following the 1996 season, the Oilers relocated to Tennessee. With the new stadium still under construction, the team played temporarily at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium and Vanderbilt Stadium for two seasons.

In 1999, the franchise moved into its permanent home and adopted its current identity as the Tennessee Titans. The team played its inaugural game at Nissan Stadium on September 12, 1999. Over the years, the venue has undergone several name changes from Adelphia Coliseum to The Coliseum, then LP Field, before Nissan North America secured naming rights in 2015.

Nissan Stadium features three seating levels accommodating approximately 69,000 fans. The lower bowl fully surrounds the field, while two upper tiers line the sidelines. Large video boards are positioned in each end zone, and the stadium includes 175 luxury suites and approximately 12,000 club seats, which comprise much of the second tier. In addition to Titans games, the venue hosts the Tennessee State Tigers and the annual Music City college football bowl game. Its riverfront location provides fans with scenic views of both the Nashville skyline and the Cumberland River.

In October 2022, the Titans and the City of Nashville announced plans to construct a new domed stadium adjacent to Nissan Stadium. The decision was driven by the aging facility’s lack of modern amenities and the high cost, estimated at over $1 billion, required to upgrade existing infrastructure. The 2026 NFL season will mark the Titans last season at Nissan Stadium before moving to the new Nissan Stadium in 2027. Nissan Stadium will be demolished ones the team moves to the new stadium.
