Photos, videos from Titans’ groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday

The Tennessee Titans held their groundbreaking ceremony for the New Nissan Stadium on Thursday, an event that featured several guest speakers and gave us more information about the new venue, which is scheduled to open in 2027.

One tidbit we found out was that the stadium will feature the largest rooftop bar in the United States that will span roughly 70,000 square feet.

The event was hosted by Titans announcer Mike Keith and the list of guest speakers included owner Amy Adams Strunk, president and CEO Burke Nihill and country music stars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.

Head coach Brian Callahan and general manager Ran Carthon were also on-hand for the ceremony.

“A generation ago, my father, Bud Adams, moved the Oilers to Tennessee,” Adams Strunk said. “He saw a beautiful city here in Nashville, poised for growth and ready for the NFL stage. He met the people who lived here and observed how hard they worked and how impactful they could be when they came together as a community. He saw everything Nashville was and could be and decided to make it our home. But even with all that foresight, I don’t think my father could have dreamed of just how right he was. This city and this state have been the most incredible home we could ever have asked for. And last year, we signed a new lease with the City of Nashville to remain here for another generation.”
