NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The NFL is taking the 2030 Super Bowl to Nashville and the Tennessee Titans' new Nissan Stadium after team owners voted Tuesday to hold the league's championship game in the Music City for the first time.
Once the Titans broke ground on the $2.1 billion enclosed stadium, a Super Bowl being played in Nashville appeared to be only a matter of time.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said in November that Nashville lacked only the stage.
The Titans are on schedule to finish the new stadium directly across from the current Nissan Stadium in February, completing the three-year construction.
