Nashville has been chosen to host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
Super Bowl LXIV will be played at the Tennessee Titans' new $2.2 billion Nissan Stadium.
The announcement was made on Tuesday at the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando following a review of the proposal by the NFL's Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee. NFL owners voted unanimously to host the event in Nashville.
"The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the great fan events in our history," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey. The vision of Amy Adams Strunk and the Tennessee Titans helped make this moment possible. We can't wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030."
Nashville to Host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030
Super Bowl LXIV will mark the first time Nashville will host the event.
"Hosting the Super Bowl is a defining moment for Nashville and Tennessee and reflects years of work to build Music City into a globally recognized destination for music, entertainment, and live events," Titans CEO Deana Ivey said. "This event is an incredible opportunity to showcase the dynamic and creative character of Nashville to a global audience. And to deliver a Super Bowl experience that is distinctly Music City. Where music, sports, culture, and hospitality come together in a way few cities can match. We are grateful to the NFL for the confidence they have placed in our community."
Nashville hosted the NFL Draft back in 2019 and drew 600,000 fans in a then-record-setting weekend. The event generated $224 million in economic impact.
"We are thrilled that the new Nissan Stadium will host Nashville's first Super Bowl in 2030," Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said. "This is an exciting moment for our city and our entire state.
