Tennessee Builders Alliance Selected to Construct $2.1 Billion Titans Stadium

The Metro Sports Authority Board of Directors approved the selection of the Tennessee Builders Alliance (TBA) to construct the Tennessee Titans’ new $2.1 billion stadium at its meeting on Thursday.

TBA, which is a joint venture partnership with industry leaders including Nashville-based ICF Builders, Brentwood-based Polk & Associates, Turner Construction Company, and AECOM Hunt, will now serve as Construction Manager at Risk on the stadium project.

“The Tennessee Builders Alliance is thrilled to work with the Tennessee Titans, the city of Nashville, and the Metro Sports Authority as we build a world-class facility for our neighbors,” said John Gromos, Principal-in-Charge of the Tennessee Builders Alliance. “TBA recognizes that we are building more than a stadium. We are also building a brighter future for diverse members of our community and strengthening the Middle Tennessee economy for everyone.”

The alliance was selected in part for its more than 55 years of NFL stadium construction experience and a “long history of building iconic sports facilities,” according to a press release by the Tennessee Titans.

Two companies within the alliance – Turner and AECOM Hunt – have worked on 17 of the 30 most recently completed NFL stadium projects, the team notes.

“The breadth of knowledge that TBA brings to the table is second to none, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to the project team,” Titans president and CEO Burke Nihill said in a statement following the Metro Sports Authority’s approval vote. “TBA’s familiarity with our local landscape in combination with its understanding of the latest industry trends is the perfect mix of innovation and experience. TBA also shares our dedication to thinking community-first as we raise this transformational building from the ground up, made truly for Nashville.”

A final contract for TBA’s services will be presented to the Sports Authority by the Titans for consideration at a board meeting in coming months, the team adds.

The NFL team also announced Thursday that a new website detailing upcoming opportunities to participate in construction of the new stadium will be rolled out in the coming months.

In the meantime, businesses interested in working on the project are able to fill out a general interest form on the team’s website.

Groundbreaking for the new stadium is expected to occur in early-to-mid 2024, with an anticipated opening in 2027.

Besides the Titans, the stadium will host Tennessee State University games and other sporting, entertainment, and civic events. The Music City Host Committee is currently working on booking the Super Bowl, 2031 NCAA Men’s Final Four, and college football National Championship at the new stadium, as previously reported by The Tennessee Star.

On Tuesday, the team opened up a waitlist for fans to purchase luxury suites, premier seats, and reserved PSLs for the new stadium.

4 Thoughts to “Tennessee Builders Alliance Selected to Construct $2.1 Billion Titans Stadium”

  1. GET USED TO BEING A SERF

    AND JUST WHERE IS THE $2BILLION COMING FROM? OH THE PEOPLE WHO PAY TAXES?
    WITH NO REPRESENTATION because the Metro Council Members who we elect, are basically Lame Ducks from day one. Why you say? Well because the taxpayers voted to put mandatory term limits on their ( Legislative Branch) Elected Council Representatives, who are supposed to tell the Mayor how our taxes are to be spent. But unfortunately now the Executive Branch ( Mayor) ignores the people’s wishes. We People stupidly gave up our power over the Mayor. Now the Mayor is a Tyrrant.
    That’s what happens when the Mayor’s Admin puts amendments to our Metro Charter on the ballot. First of all, they put so much Legal MishMash in the amendment, most people do not know what the impact will be on them, if they vote for the change.
    What if the Team sucks? Shouldn’t the taxpayers get a refund? Most taxpayers cannot afford to buy the seats, so we just pay for the stadium.
    Oh just shut up & open up your pocketbook, you Serfs aren’t important.

  2. Concerned

    I believe the debt service on the existing stadium is yet to be paid. That means the debt on this stadium will simply be added to the existing stadium debt. It is very safe to believe before the bonds on this stadium are paid that the football team will demand yet another new stadium or very expensive renovations. Franchises are worth billions, the owner of the Titans should be footing the bill. A new stadium and study after study has proved this point, new stadiums do not generate new revenue. They redirect local revenue. This is foolish.

  3. levelheadedconservative

    The real question here might be: Will having an NFL team anchored in Nashville, while affording the opportunity for many varied large scale events, generate more business and tax revenue than the $3B cost (is there any construction project that finished on time and on budget?)?

    I suspect this will be well worth the investment in the long run/

    The loud flushing sound is your tax dollars going down the Titan toilet.
