The Tennessee Titans teased a major announcement regarding its new stadium for Friday morning press conference in Nashville, but some of the news has now been leaked.
"The Tennessee Titans will make an exciting announcement regarding the new stadium during a press conference at 10 a.m. CT on Friday, Nov. 17, 2023. Media are invited to attend," – per the team's official release.
Controlling owner, Amy Adams Strunk and the organization may be building a new, $2.1 billion stadium but the name, "Nissan," isn't going anywhere.
According to Paul Kuharsky, Nissan will maintain the naming rights to the Titans' new stadium.
In the summer of 2015, the Titans and Nissan announced a 20-year partnership for "exclusive new naming rights" that rebranded the downtown Nashville stadium.
Nate Rau, of Axios, adds to the reporting the two parties agreed to a new 20-year contract for the naming rights.
"The 20-year agreement begins the first year the stadium opens. The Titans and Nissan declined to disclose financial terms of the deal," Rau writes.
More details to the naming rights deal from Rau can be found on the Axios report, including the team not wanting to allow the stadium's new name go get into a bidding war.

“Since 2015 our fans and organization have called our home ‘Nissan Stadium,’ and we are proud to continue that tradition in the new stadium as we deepen and expand our relationship with them,” said Titans Chief Revenue Officer Adam Nuse. “The new stadium will host the world’s largest events, as well as serve as a community hub for our local neighbors. We’re excited to have a partner like Nissan embark on this journey with us as we look towards the future.”
“Nissan Stadium is a centerpiece of the Nashville skyline and has become a household name in Middle Tennessee. It is important for Nissan to keep our name on the new stadium,” said Jérémie Papin, chairperson, Nissan Americas. “As more people come to Nashville both to visit and to live in this wonderful city, Nissan Stadium is true showcase for our brand and for the career opportunities we’ve offered here for more than four decades. This partnership sends a strong message about the bright future for Nissan, the Titans, Nashville and the State of Tennessee.”
“Nissan has been a strong partner to middle Tennessee for four decades, and I’m thrilled that the Titans have united with a partner that invests in our community and its people,” said Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell. “The familiarity and trust they’ve established with the Titans in the last eight years will undoubtedly be a great asset as we plan for the stadium’s opening in 2027.”
The new stadium is set to be completed in 2027 and will be located on the east bank of the Cumberland River, which is adjacent to where the Titans currently play.
