Nissan Stadium Construction 75 Percent Complete

Construction on the future Nissan Stadium officially reached the 75 percent completion mark at the end of March, according to the Tennessee Titans.

To carry a price tag of about $2.2 billion, the stadium is scheduled to open in February 2027, with concerts and other events expected to precede the Titans’ first season in the new venue in fall. 

The site continues to see a daily average of 2,000 workers on all levels and elevations of the building. Included in that total are Daktronics crews who are working toward completing the subframing system for the LED boards.

Construction of one immediate welcoming portion of the stadium is close to reaching the halfway point: Thirty-four of the site’s fan entry doors have been installed, with 37 still remaining.

But several other construction spots have reached more advanced stages.

Some highlights of the progress:

• As work continues toward getting the building ready for enclosure, the top and bottom cables of the ETFE roofing system have been laid out. They will start to be connected to the perimeter compression ring on the roof. The cables will slowly be hoisted by hydraulic lifts around the building over a couple of months, a process scheduled to start this month.
• 1,140 of the 1,185 panels needed for the curtain wall glass cladding system to reach completion have been installed. The windows that make up the glass wall will provide views of the city, even in an enclosed stadium. The first of the bi-fold doors that can open to create an indoor/outdoor experience — via outdoor terraces — are nearly ready to go into place.
• On the inside of the stadium, the concrete masonry units — standardized, precast rectangular blocks — are close to being finished, as more than 50,000 of the 52,000 square feet are complete.
• Ceramic tiling has started to be installed in restrooms on the event, plaza and main concourse levels. Once the tiling is complete, crews will be able to move forward with installation of Sloan plumbing fixtures throughout stadium restrooms.
• Progress is being made on the food production front as well. The focus has been on cooking hoods and walk-in coolers, with 40 of the 108 coolers installed throughout the stadium.
