The Titans and the city of Nashville finalized and approved plans for the stadium earlier this month. Highlights include a 55000-60000 seating capacity, a domed enclosure, adjacent green spaces, and a massive $2.1 billion price tag. The team hopes to have the stadium ready for the 2026 season.“We envision a potential new stadium that makes our community proud and enhances the reputation of our great city and state.” pic.twitter.com/cCPuPYTy4o

The rise and fall of Nissan Stadium in Nashville marks a relatively short lifespan for a major sports stadium, having only finished construction in 1999. Still, Nashville has grown into a major destination and tourist city since then, so a new entertainment venue that ranks among the swankiest and most spectacular in the world makes sense for not only the Titans, but the city. A domed stadium could also prove more useful year-round than Nissan Stadium's open-air setup.

With the Titans and Nashville officially moving forward on their project, the NFL may begin investigating which other franchises could use an upgraded home. The Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills already have plans in place. FedEx Field is persistently ridiculed, but Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder has failed to gain much traction on a new stadium. No one else screams out as in need of an immediate change, but if Nissan Stadium was already obsolete at only 23 years old, then many, many venues won't be far behind.
