There’s plenty of talk about the Tennessee Titans as a football team and what the future looks like as they attempt to expand upon last year’s success in 2020.

But with the sort of unplanned dead period caused by restriction surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, media outlets have gotten a bit more creative with offseason coverage, leading us to topics like stadium rankings.

So, where exactly does the venue the Titans play out their home games stand compared to the rest of the NFL? According to The Athletic’s rankings, just about in the middle.

The network ranked Nissan Stadium at No. 17 overall, behind M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens) and ahead of NRG Stadium (Houston Texans). U.S. Bank Stadium (Minnesota Vikings) was first on the list.

Here’s a look at the top five and bottom five in the rankings.

1. U.S. Bank Stadium (Vikings)

2. CenturyLink Field (Seahawks)

3. AT&T Stadium (Cowboys)

4. Lambeau Field (Packers)

5. Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs)

27. Paul Brown Stadium (Bengals)

28. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (Rams)

29. Oakland Coliseum (Raiders)

30. TIAA Bank Field (Jaguars)

31. FedEx Field (Washington)

FedEx Field was voted as the worst venue, receiving 14 votes in nothing short of a landslide (not surprising, given that mile walk and covered seats due to poor attendance).

While things seem to finally be returning to normal in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, there’s no telling what can happen between now and the start of the Tennessee Titans’ 2020 season.

Should conditions worsen or the re-opening of states happens a bit more slowly than expected, it’s very possible that we might see games played without fans for at least part of the season.

Forbes estimates that the Titans could lose around $110 million in stadium revenue if all eight of their home games are played without fans, which works out to $13.75 million per contest.

That $110 million figure is the fifth lowest (No. 28) among all NFL teams and makes up less than one third of Tennessee’s total team revenue, a number that sits at $394 million.

While that is no doubt a hard hit to a small-market team like the Titans, some teams’ stadium revenue makes up more than half their total revenue.

A team like the Dallas Cowboys ($621 million of $950 million total revenue) would lose two-thirds of their total revenue, and the New England Patriots ($315 million of $600 million total revenue) and New York Giants ($262 million of $519 million total revenue) would lose about half.

Those are truly astronomical amounts of money.

The Tennessee Titans’ home, Nissan Stadium, was lit up blue on Thursday night to honor the people who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over 150 buildings across the United States joined in on the showing of appreciation for those who are putting their lives on the line to fight the outbreak.

As an organization, the Titans donated $50,000 to help in recovery efforts for the COVID-19 outbreak in Nashville. Cornerback Malcolm Butler also made donations to help both the city of Nashville and his hometown of Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Former Titans defensive back, Myron Rolle, is personally on the front lines, as he’s a neurosurgery resident at Mass. General and Harvard Medical School who has seen his unit turned into a COVID-19 floor.

Despite the outbreak, the NFL has decided to proceed with the 2020 NFL Draft, albeit in a virtual format. The league will hold a “Draft-A-Thon” to help raise funds for charity, also.

After at least two tornadoes hit Nashville early Tuesday morning, Nissan Stadium, the home of the Tennessee Titans, is being considered as an option to help in relief efforts.

According to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, the power at Nissan Stadium is back on and a check on its employees has returned positive results.

The cost to attend a Tennessee Titans game will be a bit more steep for fans after the team made it to the AFC Championship last year.

The price of lower bowl seats will increase by 10%, a year after the team raised them 15%, according to reporter Paul Kuharsky.

Club and upper levels will also make a slight jump of 2%, according to the same report.

The price increases come after several years of little to no change, as ticket prices in Nissan Stadium, which seats 69,143, ranked at No. 25 overall in the NFL.
