NASHVILLE, Tenn. – April 18, 2024 – The Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame (TSHF), sponsored by the Tennessee Lottery, announced today it has entered into an agreement with the Tennessee Titans to move its museum to the new Nissan Stadium when the venue opens in 2027. Since 2000, the Hall has showcased Tennessee’s rich sports history at Bridgestone Arena with exhibits chronicling the state’s Olympians like Wilma Rudolph and Tracy Caulkins, legendary athletes like Peyton Manning, Zach Randolph, and Steve McNair, and coaches like Pat Summitt, Tim Corbin and Ed Temple. The move marks a significant milestone for TSHF as it looks to create an even more immersive and accessible experience for Tennessee sports enthusiasts.
“This is an exciting development for the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, and one that has been long in the works. The Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame is committed to celebrating Tennessee’s long tradition of sports excellence and we look forward to a seamless transition,” said Phillip Fulmer, Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame Chairman. “We are honored to partner with the Tennessee Titans and this new location allows us to elevate the visitor experience and create something truly special for fans.”
“As we enter the next era of Titans football in Nashville with the opening of the new Nissan Stadium, we’re proud to have a space that will showcase our state’s deep sports history,” said Burke Nihill, Titans President and CEO. “We’ve worked with the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame for many years now and look forward to moving into our new home together.”
The New Nissan Stadium will be built on the east side of the current stadium campus, along Nashville’s east bank of the Cumberland River. Features of the building include: a circular translucent roof; exterior porches with panoramic views of Nashville; improved sightlines for all spectators through a range of diverse seating experiences; and a 12,000 square-foot community space available for use year-round. A waitlist for those interested in PSLs for the new stadium is now open at NewNissanStadium.com.
