The Tennessee Titans are one step closer to getting their proposed new stadium approved.
Per multiple reports, the Metro Nashville Council approved the new stadium agreement after a second reading on Tuesday night. Now, there will be a third and final reading, which is set to take place on Tuesday, April 25.
“I appreciate Metro Council’s diligent and thoughtful consideration of this deal, and their consistent vote of confidence that this is the right move for Nashville taxpayers,” Mayor John Cooper said of the approval after the second reading, per Adam Mintzer of WKRN.
“I’m also proud of the transparent and thorough process conducted to consider this proposal, which has included dozens of public meetings and extensive engagement with community and neighborhood groups throughout the city. I look forward to next week’s third and final reading.”
Last night, the Metro Nashville Council approved the new #Titans stadium agreement on second reading by a vote of 25-11. Third (and final) reading will take place at a specially-called meeting of Council on Tuesday, April 25.

The proposed new stadium, which is projected to cost around $2.1 billion, is expected to open in 2027, one year later than originally projected — and that’s if everything goes off without a hitch moving forward.
