The Tennessee Titans’ new venue will continue to be called Nissan Stadium. The team and the automaker entered a 20-year agreement that was announced Friday by Titans President and CEO Burke Nihill.
“We’ve been partners for nine years, and we’ve had this evolving stadium story for the last four or five years,” Nihill said. “And at every point, I think it was almost an assumption of ours that, if they were interested, Nissan was the perfect naming rights partner for the new building.”

Titans fans have known the home of their team to be called Nissan Stadium since 2015. The company has also invested more than $10 billion statewide and employs more than 11,000 employees across Middle Tennessee.
Marisstilla Marinkovic, the vice president and chief marketing officer with Nissan, says the partnership benefits not only the two companies but the surrounding community.
