Well this should also make the Music City Bowl and Nashville a bigger player in the future of college playoffs too. I didn't see any mention of it - but wouldn;t it make sense for Vanderbilt to use it for home games as well? Everyone knows Vanderbilt needs to step up its game day facilities. Tennessee and Nashville are growing like crazy and this will make it an even more attractive destination for many businesses and conventions in the future.
Think about this, I played in the 1976 Peach Bowl in Atlanta-Fulton County stadium!
Better than the West Bank !!Nashville council gives final approval to new Titans stadium
Nashville on Tuesday cemented a historic $2.1 billion agreement to build a new, enclosed stadium for the Tennessee Titans on the East Bank.www.tennessean.com
It was a great game for the fans too Joe! But I about froze to death as UK fans were in the shaded side of the stadium. Temperature was like 25 degrees different from the sun side lol! How was it on the field?
You’ve aged better than did that stadium, but you were freeze-dried during the game, so . . . .
I remember a balmy 73 degrees sitting on my couch in my parent’s home.
Vandy is in the process of sinking some money into their stadium. It would probably seem empty and cavernous to have them in the new stadium.
Yeah- I guess Vandy doesn't think like the rest of the league - if you build it they will come. Small stadiums mean small crowds. Its going to be hard for Vandy to compete in the future as the other 15 teams are continuing to expand their football facilities. I know they are a long time member - but they might consider if they want to remain in the SEC. At some point the league could look to become stronger in sports. Vandy has had a great baseball program - but do they bring much to the conference outside of that sports wise? Unfortunately, like many other things now, the past doesn't seem to mean much as to the future.Vandy is in the process of sinking some money into their stadium.

Maybe, but Nissan Stadium is no spring chicken. 24 year old stadium.
Really? Downtown Nashville is around it. Finished product will resemble the stadium in Las Vegas officials have said.
LoLz a billion dollar sports stadium ought to last 40 or 50 yrs
I used to love it about 10-15 years ago. But now it's losing all its character. Downtown was cool when it was all dives and hole in the walls.
I grew up in Franklin. Moved for college in 2004. Honestly I’m more of a country type guy so I hate what Franklin has become. When they pushed Dotson’s out, it told me where the town was heading.
I used to love going to Nashville just to goof off back in the 90’s. Downtown has changed, and not for the better IMO. The fact that mainstream country music has been absolute trash for 30 years now probably isn’t helping.
