Tennessee makes official play to potentially host Super Bowl in next 5 years
If granted, the Super Bowl would be held at the newly-built Nissan Stadium, which is expected to be completed
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has made an official play for the Volunteer State to host a Super Bowl in the next five years.
Lee’s office confirmed to WSMV4 that the governor submitted an official letter of interest to the National Football League to host the 2029 Super Bowl.
If granted, the Super Bowl would be held at the newly-built Nissan Stadium, which is expected to be completed by 2027.
The Titans broke ground on the new Nissan Stadium in February 2024 and heavy excavation began immediately. In July of that year, the Titans set up a live feed over the construction site for the new facility and anyone can check in on the progress during normal working hours.
The success Nashville saw with the NFL Draft in 2019 along with the construction of the new stadium has brought a renewed push for the city to play host to postseason football professionally and collegiately.
The Nashville Sports Council shared that one of its goals, along with hosting a Super Bowl, is to become a part of the future of the CFP.
“We certainly would love to step up and have a bigger role in the postseason, but what that is is a little undefined right now,” Scott Ramsey, Music City Bowl president said. “I think there are a lot of things these first couple years here of the 12-team to kind of work through. Is it going to stay at 12, go to 14, go to 16 and expand? Are they going to stay on campus or are they going to move to neutral sites, which would open up opportunities for us? We’re getting prepared, but at the same time, we’re going to have to be very reactive to decisions being made in the next 12 months or so about what the postseason wants to look like.”
Tennessee football reportedly recruiting nation’s No. 1 WR the ‘hardest’
Is a decision coming soon for the top wide receiver in the country for the 2026 class? That’s what plenty of Tennessee football fans are wondering, as Tristen Keys has a busy schedulde with visits to meet with teams for spring football.
Earlier this month, the speedster was in Knoxville for a visit and it wasn’t the first time he was in town. Head man
Josh Heupel and his coaches are going all-in to land the playmaker, which won’t be easy. According to Steve Wiltfong, though, Keys told him that Tennessee is recruiting him the hardest of all the schools going after him. Will those efforts pay off for the Vols?
