Good progress is being made on construction of the Tennessee Titans’ new Nissan Stadium, with work continuing on schedule.

The NFL Titans said October was an extremely productive month for construction of the new venue.

The first elevated concrete decks were poured in September and the work continued into October. Four giant cranes are on site, each working in different quadrants, and they’ll connect this month for the first time.

These are building blocks for the main concourses which will provide fans 360-degree access on all levels.

The concourses are also wider and designed for efficiency with frictionless markets and nearly twice as many bathrooms – fans will have more time to watch the game and less time in lines.

The Tennessee Titans are a professional American football team based in Nashville, Tennessee (US).

The Titans compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference South division. The Tennessee Titans play their home games at the current Nissan Stadium and are building a new stadium, construction of which started in 2024.

The New Nissan Stadium is a domed American football stadium being built in Nashville, Tennessee (US) for use by the Tennessee Titans succeeding the current Nissan Stadium and opening in 2027.

The 60,000-seat stadium is projected to cost $2.1 billion, $1.26 billion of which is being subsidized by the public. The ground-breaking ceremony took place in February 2024.

The Titans said construction of the new venue is on-schedule and going “full steam ahead.”

The team said in a statement, “Everyone’s been asking, ‘Is construction on schedule?’ The answer is a resounding yes! Our crew has been working incredibly hard to stay on track.

“We’ve been lucky with the weather, too – no delays so far. As winter approaches, construction will only ramp up. We’re seeing about 25 to 30 additional workers join the job site each week, with about 650 workers onsite already and heading towards a peak labor force of 1,600.

“From a bird’s eye view, you can start to see the shape of the field coming together now and the first glimpse of what will become our seating bowl. The structure you can see currently is a frame, and the full seating bowl is being poured as we speak in a factory in Atlanta.

“Once we have those pieces transferred in February, we will start to install actual seats. Every seat in the new stadium – no matter where it is – will have padding. Every seat will also be closer to the action on the field. Our seats will be the closest to the field than any other NFL stadium!”

The Titans said the next big milestone is completing the concrete superstructure by February 2025.

After that, construction work will move on to erecting the steel superstructure from the upper concourse to the roof.

This will also kick off the installation of the precast seating bowl, which includes about 2,000 pieces of precast to be set.
