It isn’t just alumni, current players, or journalists representing Nashville and the Tennessee Titans at the Super Bowl this week; the team has a member of the administration and the front office there on a scouting mission.
Like they do every year, Titans President and CEO Burke Nihill has traveled to the Bay Area to assess the various aspects of potentially hosting a Super Bowl, which could bring Nashville to life and put the new Nissan Stadium on the map. And with every passing day, the stage for that potential Super Bowl gets closer to completion.
While the new stadium is scheduled to be unveiled in 2027, it could be a few years before Nashville receives the call, even if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has his eye on the city.
“When you look at past stadium rhythms,” Nihill noted, “in terms of when a stadium opens and when the NFL feels comfortable bringing their biggest event to a new stadium, for us that is probably in the early 2030s.”
The NFL has already announced the next two Super Bowls. It will be a few years before the organization and city can put a package together and bid on hosting the big game, but the administration is studying and working on it. And sooner rather than later, Nashville will get the call from the league office, and the Titans’ dream of hosting a Super Bowl will become a reality.
