NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was in Nashville today for the Tennessee Titans’ Steel Topping Out Ceremony. My understanding is that means they installed the final steel beam to hold the roof at the top
of the new Nissan Stadium. The new stadium is set to open for the 2027 NFL season.
Goodell was asked if Nashville is ready to host a Super Bowl in the future, and he called Nashville a Super Bowl-ready city. There has been a lot of speculation that Nashville would get to host a Super Bowl in the new venue. This doesn’t confirm that we will get one here, but it seems pretty certain at this point. The next three Super Bowl sites have already been scheduled with San Francisco (Santa Clara), Los Angeles (Inglewood), and Atlanta hosting the next three. That means the earliest a Super Bowl would be in Nashville would be February of 2029.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is excited about the possibility of a Super Bowl being in Nashville:
Amy Adams Strunk made a rare public appearance at the event today. There was media in attendance, but she didn’t take any questions:
The beam was signed by a host of people from the Titans organization, Goodell, and Tennessee governor Bill Lee, amongst others, before it was officially installed:
Paul Kuharsky, ever the cynic.
Are you excited about the prospects of Nashville hosting a Super Bowl?
