OK, I’ll say it…. Jville gets a far cooler looking stadium for half the price of the Titans’! But a renovation of Nissan isn’t feasible?

[PruneTracy]

TIAA Bank Field reused elements of the Gator Bowl when it was constructed in 1995, as well.

I have to wonder at the accuracy of the rendering. The roof looks very "delicate" and not terribly hurricane resistant.

The Titans said a full renovation of Nissan ballooned from $600MM to $1.2BN... so pretty in line with this, correct? 

Another "comparable" stadium that would have increased metro's lease obligation to a ridiculous amount.

Yep pretty in line with what Jacksonville is paying for reno. I think it was going to be really hard to get a roof on Nissan's configuration. If you're already spending that much it's kind of stupid not to create a stadium ideal for Super Bowls, Final Fours, etc. without a roof.

Having been to over 200 Titans games and several of them having been in Jacksonville, I can promise one thing.  There will be a clear and decisive winner in the battle of adding a roof on to a stadium with a 30 plus year old infrastructure VS a new new state of the art dome designed  specifically for football and concerts.  And that's coming from someone who will probably get priced out of my season tickets, but  I would rather catch a few games a year in the dome. than 8 or 9 in a relic.

I think Jacksonville's is toy-like looking, and a bit ho-hum, honestly.

The Titan's is far more  progressive and sleek looking, and looks like a modern building that fits into the city.

And doesn't look like a giant inflatable toy ring sitting in a parking lot. LOL

These stadium designs like Jacksonville's are a bit comical, if you ask me, sticking out like an ugly sore thumb.

[PaulChinetti]

Yeah agreed, @jjbradleyBrooklyn I don’t think the LA or this proposed Jags stadium would fit at all the more I look at these renderings of the the 2 stadiums.

I was just about to say the same thing.  I couldn't agree with you more.  The Titans stadium looks like a stadium that was designed with the intention that it be integratated into a larger neighborhood where it is just one element of a larger whole, and not the whole show.  In other words, it looks like a stadium designed to be in the middle of a big city, not in the middle of a parking lot.  While arguably a flashier design that strikes certain notes with the trends of today, the Jacksonville stadium (and others like it) just sort of reminds me of a 2027 version of the current Nissan Stadium.  It wasn't designed with a larger vision in mind.  It will likely look incredibly outdated in twenty years not just in the way it looks, but in the way it relates (or not) to the areas around it.  For these reasons, I personally think the Titans proposal is FAR more forward thinking and will outlast Jacksonville's stadium by decades.

For the architects on here, I believe there could be some serious glare from the newly added "sides" of the stadium. I remember a condo building in Dallas got into litigation because the glare from the building was reflected onto parked cars and it was like 200 degrees.

Doubt this happens and if it does it won't look like this...

I don't know, the owner has very deep pockets, the city is solidly committed to it, and the NFL would love to have another Florida Super Bowl city in the regular rotation that's hosted by a franchise on the quick rise.

Plus, Jax would have the easy distinction of the best stadium in the entire state of Florida.

I think you need to read between the lines on this one. On one hand, I found it interesting that Butch Spyridon said Nashville was trying to have the ACC Championship game. On the other hand, if you read all of Sankey's answer, he said Nashville was "opening up a world of opportunities" with the new stadium. Perhaps that means season openers for teams like UT, Alabama, Auburn, etc. like you see in Atlanta or Dallas, or Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt being held in the new stadium every year. 

Sankey was also just awarded a contract extension as SEC commissioner. Maybe that vote was tied to "committing" to Atlanta by certain people in power, at least for the time being. No one expected the SEC Championship game to be relocated here for perpetuity, but I could imagine a SEC Championship game here, just like how Tampa got the men's SEC basketball tournament.

Doing an annual SEC kickoff game in Nashville makes a lot of sense, and doesn't take away from conference contracts with Atlanta.

Why would an ACC championship move to Tennessee? There are no ACC schools here and look at why they left North Carolina. You are doing a lot of imagining and not a lot of reality.

I hope the stadium gets games, it needs the games to be viable and to pay for itself. But that letter about the ticket tax  chiding council from Sankey looks awfully suspect right now.

I'm doing a lot of reading- it was a quote from Butch Spyridon. Why would ACC want to be in Nashville? Because it's a dome stadium while Charlotte is not for one. Fans of Clemson, FSU, etc. would enjoy coming to Nashville as well. 

The SEC's contract with Atlanta expires in 2026. Why would SEC commit to Nashville when the stadium is expected to be ready by 2027 at the earliest, and we don't even have the master developer selected for the surrounding development? It's easy to say "we are committed to Atlanta" when Nashville is going to be a construction zone for about a 7 years. 

The stadium pays for itself mainly via the Hotel/Motel tax. Credit Rating agencies agree, and even Bob Mendes agrees. We do have a ticket tax, credit to Freddie O'Connell's amendment. 3% going to general fund. 10% was ridiculous.
