When it comes to the NFL's biggest game of the year, every city that houses an NFL team vies for the opportunity to host the Super Bowl. The NFL doesn't simply rotate through cities with stadiums; they put out an interest request every year to all 32 NFL teams.
The city of Nashville, home to the Tennessee Titans, has never hosted a Super Bowl, but with the new Nissan Stadium set to open in 2027, the organization hopes that will change.
At the NFL owners' meeting on Monday, it was announced that Las Vegas's Allegiant Stadium would host the Super Bowl in 2029. NFL EVP of events Peter O'Reilly said that because the new Nissan Stadium will open in 2027, "that falls within the window that could be viable" in talking about the 2030 Super Bowl.
The Titans sent a contingent of executives, including President and CEO Burke Nihill, to San Francisco to see how the 49ers committee handled things. Nihill, along with controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, made a large group presentation at the owners' meeting on Monday about the new stadium.
"They showcased the new Nissan Stadium and that transformation of the East Bank – it had nothing to do with Super Bowl, but it was a great opportunity for them to show the full membership how transformational that project is on the East Bank," O'Reilly said. "We are in probably the most prolific new stadium and renovation period in the league in a long time, and the Nashville stadium was the one that was chosen to speak in there, and Amy and Burke spoke.
"They did a tremendous job telling the story that (people in Nashville) know well and have seen."
The Titans don't just want to host a Super Bowl; they also want to give the NFL a reason to come back. Doing their research by watching how other teams are doing it and figuring out ways to make things run smoothly in Nashville are key components to hosting a Super Bowl. Having a brand new, high-tech stadium with a transparent roof certainly doesn't hurt anything, either.
