history

The franchise of the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL) here bears since 1999 his games and solved the Vanderbilt Stadium as their home ground from. The college football team of the Tennessee State Tigers ( Ohio Valley Conference ) used the stadium as their sole home ground from 1999 to 2011. In 2012 they returned to the renovated Hale Stadium. Today the Tigers divide the home games between the two stadiums.

From 1999 to 2002 the stadium was called Adelphia Coliseum . Then it had no sponsor name until 2006 and was therefore simply called The Coliseum . As of 2006, it was named LP Field , after the Louisiana Pacific company .

In June 2015, the North American offshoot of the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan , Nissan North America, gave the venue its name. The contract has a term of 20 years. Instead of the previous three million US dollars annually, Nissan pays 10 million US dollars a year.

The SheBelieves Cup women's soccer tournament ( 2016 and 2019 ) was hosted twice in Nashville.

The new Nashville SC franchise from Major League Soccer (MLS) has been playing its home games at the Nissan Stadium since 2020 , temporarily until the completion of the Nashville Fairgrounds Stadium , which is planned for 2022 .

Nissan Stadium is a candidate for the 2026 World Cup . The venues are on a list of 23 stadiums. At a later date the list will be reduced to the final number of 16 stages.
