Yep, all is speculation. But it’s at least comforting to see what it can be, other than parking lots and industrial wasteland.

Really missing an opportunity to have a Titans Navy with no river activation.

Giving office building. Honestly, not a fan of the design but obviously it's still preliminary.

It looks like a gaming console, imo. 

[Nash_12South]

I think the design is pretty fantastic, given the budget they have. If someone had been willing to pony up an extra $500 million or so, higher design  might have been possible, but the folks I've shared the video with are pretty ecstatic over it. 

River activation will follow with the design of the surrounding parcels, to my thinking.

That's honestly kind of why I like it.  It almost seamlessly integrates into the surrounding urban neighborhood, which for an NFL stadium is almost unheard of.  The structure itself also offers a variety of uses to the neighborhood, so it won't just be a massive insular monolith surrounded by parking and sitting completely unused for 357 days out of the year unlike most NFL stadiums of the past, and even most of the other stadiums being planned and built currently, which, again, is why I personally prefer the design of the Titans stadium, even though some of those other stadiums might be more in vogue from an architectural design standpoint.

Look back onto projections for the sounds stadium to understand how reality may differ.

This! This is exactly why I enjoy the stadium. They can design features into it to make it special (like the hopeful "ring of fire" along at the roof. Really hopeful for that). I think it was something like 13,000 SF is being dedicated at the "front door" as a community center/public use. Supposedly. I really like the low slung aspect and how the design while contemporary, will blend into the neighborhood. It'll certainly be an absolute land hog, but hopefully a land hog that can integrate with its surrounding buildings rather than a sea of asphalt.

[Luvemtall]

Agree, the design isn’t typical Stadium. It should blend well with the “Neighborhood “ , which I’m actually more excited about than the actual stadium.

The Sounds ownership were in control of the development, however, with metro backstopping completely. The economy soured, and they weren't the greatest developer, and metro learned its lesson.

Titans are not in control, and Nashville will have a master developer. The hotel/motel tax will start collecting as soon as (now?) I believe, so city is not as desperate and we can have the patience to make this a neighborhood all Nashvillians can enjoy. Even Bob Mendes agreed on the revenue sources being sufficient.

The point I was making is don't fall in love with renderings of a bustling cityscape around the stadium. The Sounds stadium opened 8 years ago and the development has been relatively slow going(especially considering how hot Nashville has been the last decade). And this is in a more desirable area than the East Bank imo. I am not sure when you are rereferring to the economy souring. The economy from 2014/15 to now has been pretty hot with the exception of the Covid slowdown. Very hot as it relates to MF development. 

 

Don't get it confused that I want the stadium to fail. I hope it is fantastically successful and we have a great new neighborhood. Now that the legislation has passed that is the only way to root. 

[Luvemtall]

Also I think the development around the Sounds Stadium is hindered somewhat by its location, as in it being mostly spoken for and also constricted to low rise residential. The East Bank , especially the Metro owned land will be a clean slate to build without too many restrictions .

You're correct and no I am not assuming you want the project to fail. You are also correct in that the economy did not sour. I meant the deal with metro soured because the Sounds ownership never started their development despite the economy being great, so metro was left on the hook!

The Sounds have been leading all of minor league baseball in attendance pretty much every season since they moved into the new ballpark, so the tab is being paid down--perhaps even quicker than originally predicted.  Additionally, the left field line commercial building has been open for nearly two years and its doing very good business, so that is helping with tax revenue.

Two groups are vying to become the construction manager for the new $2.1 billion Tennessee Titans stadium. 

1) Tennessee Builders Alliance (TBA) is made up of a partnership between Turner Construction Co., AECOM Hunt Construction, Polk & Associates and ICF Builders.

2) The Clark, Bell, Mortenson, Pinnacle Joint Venture (CBMP)

...have submitted proposals for construction management services of the stadium, according to the Titans. 

The Titans will present their selection to the Nashville Sports Authority for approval at its Aug. 17 meeting, as well as the architect of record contract.

Once the construction manager is selected, subcontractors will follow.

Turner Construction has several sporting facilities under its belt, including SoFi Stadium, as does AECOM Hunt, including Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Polk & Associates has done work at Nashville International Airport and ICF Builders did downtown Nashville's National Museum of African American Music.

Clark, Bell, Mortenson and Pinnacle have a lengthy portfolio of large-scale projects they’ve partnered on. Clark and Bell have partnered for notable Nashville projects like the Music City Center and have done work at Nashville Yards. Mortenson and Clark came together on the Golden State Warriors’ Chase Center in San Francisco. Mortenson and Pinnacle were the team behind Nashville SC’s Geodis Park.  

Construction on the 60,000-seat domed stadium is expected to start in early to mid-2024, with completion set for 2027.

I want just about as seamless integration into a surrounding neighborhood you can get, granted it does not exist at all right now, but I'd like a little more "bang" in the design versus this Playstation turned on its side.  But then again, I guess I'm more of a big purist for a big, hulking stadium but I can certainly do without a sea of asphalt. 

Obviously these are not final renderings & designs, so I'll await full judgement until then.

It's my understanding that the Stadium design itself is pretty close to finalized, it's more the surrounding areas that remain visionary right now.

I am definitely NOT a purist for the hulking stadium.  To me, the NFL function should be co-equal with the use of the facility as an entertainment megafacility.  I think concerts are FAR more important for Nashville ultimately than a dozen odd one day games  of football.  This proposal is much better than building a traditional mostly underused temple to football.  As for it looking like a Playstation, if you want to judge it from ariel vantages you will seldom ever personally see in reality,  knock yourself out; few others will care..   I am much more impressed with the design as it functions at ground level.  Gone will be useles seas of tailgate parking.  Good riddance IMO.  While I personally have even less enthusiam for a MLB stadium, at least one would be used for games on a more regular basis, such is the nature of baseball.

It will be interesting to compare the usage rate of Nissan to the new stadium. Being enclosed will allow more winter events instead of sitting empty. 

I wonder if there is a number they shoot for, like 80% occupancy.

Turner and AECOM among group chosen to manage construction of $2.1B Tennessee Titans stadium

From the NBJ:   https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2023/08/15/tennessee-titans-stadium-construction-manger.html

Tennessee Builders Alliance (TBA), a partnership between Turner Construction Co., AECOM Hunt Construction, Polk & Associates and ICF Builders, has been chosen to handle construction management services of the stadium for the Tennessee Titans by the team. Groundbreaking for the 60,000-seat, stadium is anticipated in early to mid-2024, and construction is set for completion in 2027.

Edited to add this picture which shows the orientation of the football field inside the building. This one is likely already posted, but I had not seen it.  Would be nice if there were to be large windows looking out to the skyline but it would probably be blocked by the stands from inside the bowl. Anyway, I'm beginning to get a much better idea how this place will look.

Still using the 2013 skyline, I see.

[nashvylle]

@MLBrumbyit's hard to see, but yes there will be windows that will show the skyline (stadium was oriented this way, like Las Vegas), and these windows can be opened up. See below, you can see the windows outside of the left and right video screens, as well as in between the video screens.

Q&A with Titans' CEO Burke Nihill:

We’ve also built it in mind of thinking that this needs to be so much more than a football stadium. There’s the obvious of concerts; we are anticipating there will be 40-plus events there every year and three quarters of those will be non-football events. We are also trying to think about this as something where the community can use it regularly. We have 13,000 square feet that’s the front door of that facility with community purposes in mind. 

So yes, we expect Super Bowls and Final Fours and those great events, but how cool would it be if that’s happening on a Sunday, and then Wednesday, Thursday, that week there’s a Metro Nashville school kid who has an impactful event happening in that same building? The ideal outcome, 10, 15, 20 years from now, it is just a building that is used by Nashville.

I’d like to put a deposit down but can’t find any estimated pricing to know if it’s something I’d even be interested in. Has that been shared and I’m just overlooking it?
