NFL awards Super Bowl LXIV to Nashville for 2030
NFL owners voted unanimously to award Super Bowl LXIV to Nashville, selecting the new Nissan Stadium to host the game in February 2030. The $2.2 billion Nissan Stadium will open downtown in February 2027, giving the city about three years to prepare. Owners approved the site Tuesday at the league's spring meeting in Orlando. The Super Bowl will bring major national attention and an economic boost to Nashville, while game-week events and the halftime show are organized by the NFL and have featured national headliners rather than local artists.
“They approved the single largest publicly funded, privately owned sports stadium in human history, which the NFL wants to reward so other cities do it next” is the actual answer.
"publicly funded, privately owned" is what I have a problem with. Who, exactly, came up with this brilliant idea.
Don’t forget paying Butch Spyridon $2M per year of public money to make it happen
Tax yourself and your children to give a billionaire a free stadium and your city will get a Superbowl you can't afford tickets to attend.
The NFL and its team owners are some of the biggest parasites on the planet!!! Build your own fucking stadiums, jerkoffs
The NFL needs to find another Super Bowl spot in a state that is not engaging in Jim Crow 2.0!
I drove past it last night, its a monstrosity right next to a super crash highway in a city with grossly inadequate public transportation & affordable housing. Kids in rural communities don't always have buses to sporting events so super important we're subsidizing it.
the entire article should be “bribery, threats and blackmail” but guess there needs to be some more filler in order to sell more papers
