NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — At the end of March, the new Nissan Stadium reached its 75% completion mark, marking a major milestone as construction continues toward its planned 2027 opening.
Crews are averaging about 2,000 workers a day on site. Officials said 34 fan entry doors have been installed so far, with 37 remaining. The stadium’s exterior is also nearing a key phase, with just 45 of 1,185 glass panels left before the curtain wall system is complete.
Work is progressing on the ETFE roof, where cables are now being connected and will begin lifting into place in April. On the outside, masonry and metal panel cladding continue to advance, while stone panels have started going up around elevator and stair cores.
Inside, construction is moving forward on restrooms and food service areas, including tile installation and walk-in coolers.
Officials said fans attending events at the current stadium can already see the progress just steps away as the new venue takes shape.
Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
