Nashville to Host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030

The National Football League has selected Nashville, Tennessee, as the host city for Super Bowl LXIV, marking the first time the championship game will be played in Music City.

The decision was announced Tuesday during the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando, Florida, following a review by the league's Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee and a vote by team owners.

Venue and Construction

The Super Bowl will be played at the new Nissan Stadium, scheduled to open in 2027. The venue's capacity is approximately 60,000, making it the smallest stadium in the NFL. The facility is part of a $2.1 billion project located on the east side of the current Nissan Stadium, which has been the home of the Tennessee Titans since 1999.

City Significance

This will mark the first Super Bowl held in Nashville. The city previously hosted the 2019 NFL Draft, which, according to reports, attracted 600,000 fans and generated $224 million in economic impact.

Statements from Officials

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was "one of the greatest fan events in league history" and described the upcoming Super Bowl as the next step in the city's football journey. He credited the vision of Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk and partners at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp.

Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk expressed excitement about Nashville hosting its first Super Bowl and thanked Commissioner Goodell, fellow owners, and partners for their collaboration.

Deana Ivey, President & CEO of Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp, characterized hosting the Super Bowl as "a defining moment for Nashville and Tennessee," reflecting years of work to build the city into a globally recognized destination. She thanked the NFL for its confidence.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee described the selection as "a proud moment for the state," citing investments in a new stadium with a vision for major events, tourism, and economic growth.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell noted that Nashville has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to host top events and expressed an intention to showcase the East Bank's affordable housing, infrastructure, and green space while ensuring local residents and businesses benefit.

Background and Preparations

The Tennessee Titans and the city of Nashville prepared a formal pitch to the NFL over recent months and years. Titans President and CEO Burke Nihill and Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp President & CEO Deana Ivey studied the Bay Area Host Committee's coordination of Super Bowl LX events in San Francisco. In November, Goodell praised the new stadium during a ceremony and hinted at the upcoming announcement.
