It’ll never be done in time.

Maybe between Korean Veterans and I-24 based on this paragraph from the story?

The 1.7-million-square-foot stadium will have a dome, making it possible to host a Super Bowl and other major events year-round. It will be located east of Nissan Stadium along the East Bank.

Hopefully they start doing some sustainability designs for these stadiums rather than abandoning one and building another. Hopefully the old one is imploded and the put a park there or something

It's going in the parking lots East of the current stadium. If you're coming for a game from out of town, look for someone you know's place to crash at. Hotel taxes are being raised to fund it.

Sigh. And Nashville hotel rates are already...

Cool. I was wondering just a few days ago when they'd replace Nissan Stadium (I think that's still the name). Nashville is a booming city, much like Austin. Having a dome will really improve things. We were there for our bowl game with Wake Forest a few years ago and almost froze. Plus, it's only about 100 miles away - less than two hours.

The interesting thing is that the team has agreed to take on any construction overages, but the designs haven't been finalized. I guess that's why they're also aiming for a '26 opening. I'm curious how they came to that number considering that there's a lot of development that's being included in that isn't stadium related. I would love to be part of that design team, but I think they went outside of Nashville for an architect.

They’ll also get BCS playoff games and Final Fours. Really a great move for Nashville.

This is what I was about to say.
I’m not sure people will be able to afford our hotels if they’re raising prices even more. They’re outrageously high already.

The whole East Bank is going to be transformed by the mid 30's with the Oracle campus and city redevelopment plan. I hope I hand around long enough to see it, but I'd bet that recycling junk yard will still be there.

Oracle is putting in over there? Interesting didn't know that

Only going to get worse for at least a couple of years.
Found that staying in Airbnb is cheaper than staying in most hotels

Wonder if it'll be retractable.

Domes are absolutely the way to go.

- Can be used 365 days a year.
- Puts you in play for Super Bowls & CFB Playoffs.
- Provides Nashville a premium concert venue which makes sense considering it's Music City

The biggest stadium mistake in the history of stadium mistakes was the Jets/Giants stadium in NJ not being a dome. The inability of NYC to not be able to host indoor Super Bowls, CFB Playoff, Final 4s, etc is a hole in our country's sport landscape.

 

[Anon1662980443]

this is good news for nashville as they will probably get a super bowl, ncaa men's and women's final 4 and a wrestlemania within a few years of the new staduim being open

 

[L4Dawg]

If I read that correctly the deal still has to be approved by the city council. The way it was worded made it sound like that isn't just a formality.

 

[vhdawg]

Think how pissed off the bachelorettes will be when they inadvertently book their parties the weekend of the Super Bowl.

Way better than open air stadiums. I think open air football stadiums essentially cannot be good investments for a city. Just too few games and too many limitations on non-game activities like concerts. If you have a Dome, you can get concerts, can convert to basketball facilities (although that's rarely a great venue).

Still, not sure how great a Dome football stadium is. Still a large facilities for which a lot of concerts won't make sense and just not that many football games to go around.

No. Supposed to have a clear fixed roof like Allegiant and Sofi. Same architect as Allegiant.

It’ll get passed. The Nashville city council hasn’t ever seen anything they didn’t want to do. Money is of no consequence to them.

AirBnB is a great option in Nashville. Did it back in the winter on a weekend trip. We stayed about a block away from the new soccer stadium.

The mayor said on sports radio this afternoon he has the votes to get it passed.

 

[Clay Lyle]

Will they tear down the old one? I know Vandy announced a big stadium project. Maybe they should move into Nissan Stadium. That’s a lot more empty seats I suppose.

 

[HumpDawgy]

They can make the dome concave and call it "The Spitoon"

 

[msudawg12]

Nissan will be torn down. It has structural issues. It was going to cost over $600M to get it right, hence the new stadium

AirBnB used to be cheaper in Nashville 5-6 years ago and I could get good places to stay but then their rates changed & I considered hotels to be the better buy.

Looks like I’ll be going back to AirBnB or staying at a hotel near the airport.
