Tennessee Builders Alliance, Tennessee Titans Celebrate Topping Out of New Nissan Stadium

The Tennessee Builders Alliance celebrated a major milestone in the construction of the new Nissan Stadium, the future home of the Tennessee Titans, with a topping out ceremony, marking the placement of the final beam in the stadium’s structural steel frame.

The Titans and Tennessee Builders Alliance broke ground on the project in March 2024 and in less than two years have made significant progress toward the stadium’s anticipated spring 2027 opening. Construction teams have placed more than 12,400 beams totaling 18,000 tons of steel, and poured approximately 98,000 cubic yards of concrete, forming the framework for the 1.8-million-square-foot stadium. The topping out marks roughly 20 months of progress since mobilization. Crews will soon begin installation of the ETFE roof system while continuing work on the enclosure and interior buildout.

Designed to serve as a year-round destination, the new Nissan Stadium will feature a translucent roof, 360 degree outdoor porches with skyline views and a 12,000-square-foot community space for public use. When complete, the stadium will host Tennessee Titans and Tennessee State University football games, concerts and civic events, and will be capable of accommodating Super Bowls, Final Fours and College Football Playoff games.

TBA and the Titans have prioritized opportunity and inclusion at every stage. The project recently surpassed 3.6 million hours worked with approximately 1,800 workers onsite each day. 18.5% of the hours have been worked by residents of Nashville’s Promise Zones. More than $110 million has been paid to disadvantaged business enterprise firms, representing nearly 100 small, women-owned and minority-owned businesses.

Through more than 120 community engagements and workforce events across Middle Tennessee, TBA and the Titans have connected local residents with construction careers. The Titans Construction Training Camp program has graduated 96 participants across eight cohorts, with over three-quarters receiving job offers upon completion.
