The Titans CEO says years of neglect at Nissan Stadium has put it in serious disrepair. He says it's now known as one of the worst stadiums in the NFL. Titans estimate it would cost $1.8 billion to bring the stadium up to standard with the city's lease thru 2039. @FOXNashville

They should move to Houston and play in the old Astrodome

I bet St. Louis would take them. That stadium they have is a fricking dump.

Maybe routine maintenance should be part of their annual budget

Why do they need a new stadium? The current one isn't all that old and is nice enough.

The only thing wrong with that stadium is the ramps are like climbing Mt Everest. It's only 25 years old in a great location. The national economy is going to shite and they want taxpayers to foot the bill. Sounds like an Adams tactic.

The stadium is not a dump but it’s pretty bland and is lacking modern amenities.

Not a Titans fan but outside of the location, there’s not much redeeming about it.

News5 worded it differently

quote:

Titans: $1.8B needed to maintain Nissan Stadium through 2039, but new stadium could cost $2.2B



So they're saying it'll cost 1.8B through 2039 to maintain versus 2.2B for new one now.

25 years, two NFL quality stadiums out of the taxpayers.

All for a franchise that has very little fanbase.

Clown state ran by Nashville clowns.

The state already approved $500 million for a new stadium

You didn't take care of your current stadium so here's a brand new one to not take care of

Why not tax all the bachelorette parties that come into town?

Nissan Stadium really isn't that bad. Sure, it's bland and it feels like you're in the early 2000's, but it's not like it's a piece of shite in an inconvenient location like FedEx Field.

The Titans and the TN state representatives are just looking to cash in on the boom the Nashville area is experiencing. The convenience of walking to Nissan from Broadway is what the Titans should be capitalizing on. It's not like more Titans fans are just going to appear out of nowhere - they need to accept that Nashville is a top tourist destination and that visiting fans will almost always outnumber home fans. Might as well try make it fun and suck every penny they can out of the visitors by keeping it close to the tourist bars.

I went to a Tennessee Oilers game in Memphis AND when they played in Vanderbilt's stadium in the 90's. Even though I was young, it was awesome when Adelphia (now Nissan) Stadium finally opened. They should just try improving it.

So a stadium that when built (1999) was already 24 years younger than the Superdome (1975) will be replaced while the now 47 year old Superdome gets new ramps and windows and other bandaids and Saints fans pretend that it has the allure of Lambeau and Soldier Field.

Ms. Benson will be using this as another nail when she comes to the state demanding a new stadium in 5 years or so.

People give Kraft shite for the rug and tug, but at least he's man enough to get all private funds to pay for the stadium.
