Why does Nissan Stadium suck?

Discussing Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans

[@garydavis8213]

Funny how college stadiums can survive indefinitely but pro stadiums are “obsolete” in 10-20 years.

[@Mullerology]

That's a good point actually. Maybe if the Volunteers played at Nissan stadium it would last forever. Some of these dusty old college bowls are older than time itself.

[@EpicSlug]

The reason is colleges can't relocate, so have to pay for their own stadiums. In the NFL the billionaire just cries and bullies the city into building a stadium. The smaller the market the better this works. NFL owners also require lots of expensive suites and club seats as those seats are exempt from revenue sharing. The other tickets they have to share 35% revenue with the NFL. This is why NFL stadiums are so expensive they need huge expansive clubs and suites because of the revenue model. Where as Colleges like Michigan make money from large capacity not suites. NFL owners would rather less fans attend but charge much more for premium seating.

[@Mullerology]

and they're still way better than pro stadiums in my opinion. theres something so soulless about modern NFL stadiums. i like lambeau don't get me wrong but jeez. the rams and raiders are so corporate and soulless. comparing it to like michigan, lsu, oregon, usc, tennessee. its no contest.

I hate roofs on stadiums for football and mostly baseball. In 50 years we will never see a snow game, or a windy hard-to-kick in game. Its ruining pro sports for me

[@overchicken286]

Main reason why teams are getting roofs is look at where the superbowls are hosted, all the indoor stadiums and some warm places like Miami and Santa Clara (49ers stadium). Teams are realizing that superbowl gives the team and city a lot of attention. They want to make roofs so they can try and host a big event every 10 years. I agree with you though! Roofs are destroying sports. Snow games are the best type of football games out there! I understand some teams needed roofs (like AZ for an example), And I'm ok with some teams having them. But I totally agree that roofs hurt the sports world

[@retrowarehouse2554]

I understand your frustration, but these stadiums can host more events having that roof.

[@whobilly1]

So according to you every stadium in the NFL must be obsolete and in "complete decay" with the exceptions being the Rams/Chargers, Falcons, Vikings, and Raiders stadiums.

[@LIFEWITHTHEJONESES1]

Its Davidson County. Not Metro-Nashville county. Also the same engineers who designed raymond james designed nissan and m&t bank. Also the stadium will be finished in 2027 not 2028. The parking lot is there also for parking and tailgating.

[@bryantsteury8910]

Not that this is a dig at DG, but I'm always wondering, what the fuck do people want in a stadium? Their own personal ball cupper? Unlimited alcohol for free right at their seats? A personal butler with an umbrella every time it rains? It's a stadium meant for 65-80k people who need to get in and out and see a football game. If this is bad, then Lambeau field with their backless bleacher seating, one tier bowl and open to the elements must be complete and utter trash unworthy of pissing on if it were on fire.

From 9/11 videos to the Tennessee Titans.. gotta love your niche content ❤

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

I think one of the driving factors behind replacing Nissan stadium with a dome is all the shows held there. Nashville weather is WILD. Yeah not a lot of thunderstorms/lightning in the fall during football season. But its about 1 to 3 times a year that some show(live music) is delayed/canceled because of bad weather/lightning in the area. Especially during CMA fest in early June. Fans have to huddle in the concourses during this time, can't imagine that being fun. As far as the stadium itself, its great for football, not a bad sightline in the place. Its a great location next to Broadway(walk over the bridge), if you don't want to drive/park downtown, take the Music City Star train. Yeah not the fanciest place but who cares, its not a total dump as portrayed in the video.

[@brocksanders5135]

Naw Nashville needs a roof I’ve never been to a game where it wasn’t hot, cold, or raining. no one has

[@sstorey79]

Couple of notes. Nissan never had to postpone a game due to concrete issues. Also, the people proposing the new mlb team have moved their stadium location to an area near Tennessee State university

[@jcueto75]

What’s crazy to think is that if this stadium was in either San Diego or Oakland, the teams would not only still be there but they would probably still be in a Super Bowl rotation with renovations every few years

Structurally there is something wrong. The floods in 2010 really messed up a really poor design. trust me they have had all kind of experts in and there is no saving the place. It would be a waste of money to try to ix up a place that really can't be fixed. i suggest actually studying up on the situation before commenting. As someone who has lived in TN for 30 years I'm a little more aware of what goes on here

[@PlayyBoyyFloyd]

Born and raised in Nashville, and I've always loved the location of Nissan Stadium being walking distance to Broadway. Always loved the look especially at night, seeing the lights of Nashville skyline right behind it. I will say the stadium is basic outdated in NFL terms. The stadium's structural frame was built with concrete, most modern stadiums today uses steel. It's also been stated that the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems need to be completely replaced. The window system throughout the stadium is so outdated that it is not even manufactured anymore. So I see why it's makes more since to just build a new one instead of keeping this one around, but I'm a little conflicted on this New Nissan Stadium. If you're from Nashville you know the city is constantly building more skyscrapers to upgrade the LOOK of the city so I understand why they want to completely upgrade the entire East Bank

[@jesusm2159]

Levi stadium might be wrong not modern anymore?

[@stevenhickey326]

"Obsolete"? Places like Tiger Stadium in Detroit....Comiskey Park in Chicago...Chicago Stadium.....the Olympia in Detroit. All of these places had been obsolete for 30 years before they closed. They all had HISTORY...great games , events , unique features. These places today arent allowed that time. But ask someone thats been to old Chicago Stadium and AT & T Stadium which one they liked better.

Nissan Stadium isn’t too bad, but it does need to be replaced. The new era of NFL stadiums has been underway for the past 5 years now and Nissan Stadium simply isn’t up the date anymore.

[@davidlafleche1142]

@@hdfreekicker2341 Sports teams learned by example. Metropolitan Stadium was first begun in 1955. They kept adding to it until 1965, then stopped. (It was never finished, only stopped.) At that time, it was considered adequate; but they refused to do any maintenance. As a result, the stadium rusted out and had become structurally unsound by 1980. The Twins and Vikings demanded a new stadium, which they got (The Metrodome). Ever since then, sports teams began whining like spoiled children, demanding "amenities," regardless of whether the stadium was in good condition or not. (A perfect example was the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, which is in excellent condition; but the Rams complained that "it wasn't in the Top 20 stadiums," so they moved back to Los Angeles.) Now we see the Brewers, Diamondbacks and Titans complaining about the need for insane repairs or outright replacement, all of which cost more than the original stadiums themselves. The whole thing is a scam, and it would come to a complete stop if the Government passed a law forbidding the use of tax dollars for sports stadiums. Let the super-rich owners pay for their own playpens! "He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want" (Proverbs 22:16, KJV). Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Establish the Kingdom in Jerusalem and save the world from the tyranny of Democracy (Daniel 7:7, KJV)!

I don't know how you go to Nissan Stadium and leave with the conclusion it doesn't need all the parking lots around it because they're "trying to do the whole public transportation thing." We have literally only 1 public transit rail route in the whole city. Our public transit is awful so everybody relies on their cars. I agree with the general sentiment on it being bland and can't speak to the structural/design issues, but I think your video may be a bit exaggerated. I'm a rare Nashvillian though that is happy to see the new stadium and other east bank revival projects. Within 10 years, that area is going to feel very different.
