[Sean blackdog]

Today this evening. 

The New Nissan Stadium is officially under construction

More coverage of the groundbreaking.

During construction alone, the stadium will create 19,000 full- and part-time jobs and will have a direct spending impact of $1.9 billion with a total economic impact of $3 billion. Gov. Bill Lee said that the impact of the future Nissan Stadium will be felt statewide.

In the next 30 years, Nissan Stadium is expected to have a total economic impact of $33.7 billion and support 4,927 annual full time and part time jobs.

Titans Town — comprised of 56 trailers with over 40,000 square feet of office space to support construction teams — will open by late Q1 or early Q2.

Saw this rendering after the ceremony. I do not recall seeing this perspective before, but the angle really shows well. Crazy how The Fallon Group has 30 acres, yet that is such a small portion of the "Titans" overall site/acreage. 

 

[Luvemtall]

I know it’s just conceptual, but if they can create anything remotely close to that rendering then they will have successfully succeeded the mission!

[Luvemtall]

Also , that swath of land that currently is the scrap yard and other industrial sites, is begging for someone to develop it!! Do I see a potential MLB stadium and entertainment district… Yes I do .

[PaulChinetti]

The scrap yard rendered as a huge park. That would be pretty amazing, a giant Central Park forever in the heart of Nashville. 

Come on IChan, pull a Grinch, grow your heart, and donate it to the city with a 500 year no development clause!

Now we're talkin....relocate the other business between there and Shelby Bottoms and you've got green space from the stadium to the now closed Cornelia Fort Airport.

[Luvemtall]

There’s Centennial Park, Warner Parks, Radnor Lake etc for large green spaces. The Central core is for DENSITY and URBAN DEVELOPMENT not large open spaces. Sorry guys that land is way to valuable to plant grass on it, just my opinion.

[PaulChinetti]

As long as the old stadium site turns into a park and stays a park, I'll buy that @Luvemtall

[Luvemtall]

Agreed, that’s a must.

Thousands of people are  living in downtown....thousands more will be moving in-there will be a demand for green space that people want to enjoy without having to get in their cars and drive.

Most of the people living in downtown are committing themselves to a life that is as car free as possible-if some space for leisure and recreation isn't set aside then downtown's popularity for residential living will begin to wane if people cannot access green space without having to drive to it.

With a lot of folks working from home these days being close to an office isn't a necessity so downtown in order to stay a viable place for urban living needs a full range of amenities...this is why Manhattan has Central Park.

And that is why Nashville needs its own Central Park-and no. Bicentennial Mall does not qualify-not nearly big enough, particularly if the Gulch gets maxed out as an urban neighborhood. Then we are talking about tens of thousands of downtown residents.

The interesting corollary to this would be by setting aside some land for greenspace development you end up restricting the available land for development-the end result is by doing so developers in Nashville will be forced to do the same thing that developers in Manhattan were forced to do a while back, that is....wait for it....build taller buildings!

So Nashville would end up with a bigger and taller skyline, downtown folks would have a bigger place to play and lo and behold everybody walks away a winner.

With more greenspace you could have more festivals downtown like a BBQ fest, Hot Chicken festival and maybe persuade the Kurdish community to have its annual NowRuz (Persian New Year) festival downtown.

Just sayin'.

Yes you’re correct, NYC has Central Park. They also have Mass Transit to get its residents there, it’s 5.3 miles from lower Manhattan, 7.5 miles from the Bronx and 10.2 miles from Brooklyn. Furthermore, people committing themselves to living downtown are also committing to an urban center not a suburban utopia. This is an example as I just posted on the airport page, that the majority see Nashville in a Mayberryish fashion, wearing blinders as to its size and position as a major city. It’s time to create a dense urban environment and if folks choose to participate in this kind of life, then vast open green space will have to be something that they will need to travel to. This is why the reality of mass transit in a form other then Buses is of utmost importance

Well if you want my two cents, why not put all of that surface parking around James Robertson and Capitol Hill  into huge below ground parking facilities, eliminate a bunch of fairly useless roads and make a huge park out of it?  Essentialy adjacent to Bicenennial, I think it would be much more useable than the East bank scrapyard.  Also, putting a bunch of grass and trees on the scrapyard doesn't make it a safe environment.  It is still a very contaminated brownfield.

It would have to be cleaned up no matter if it becomes greenspace or a residential/office development. Hopefully the city will find a way to relocate it out to Cockrill Bend somewhere and they can find a better use for that location.

Yesterday afternoon.

Under construction trailers is here. 

[markhollin]

Metro has tapped New York-based Cumming Group to serve as the Sports Authority’s construction representative during the stadium project, contingent upon successful contract negotiations.

The total bid amount was $17 million, however actual contract value will be negotiated.

As owner’s construction representative, Cumming Group will serve as the point of contact between the Sports Authority and all stadium project members.

Cumming Group’s scope of work includes monitoring and advising project budget, schedule, design and progress. The company will be onsite during construction and will regularly submit progress reports that include disadvantaged business enterprise tracking and forecasting, schedule updates and more.

Cumming Group has experience working with the project's construction manager, Tennessee Builders Alliance, and on entertainment venues across the globe, including newly opened Sphere at The Venetian arena in Las Vegas.

Remove all trees and pole light down.

All trees are gone; starting to remove asphalt from old parking lot.

Five angles from along Interstate Drive:

Looking south from 6th floor of Drift Hotel:

The stadium is going to have a huge impact from the interstate for sure. I come into town form that direction every now and again and can visualize it. It will block the view of downtown in certain areas.

[markhollin]

A key permit has been issued for initial construction of the stadium.
