Summary
$10.25 billion in Nashville-area projects are due to be completed or significantly advanced before the city hosts the 2030 Super Bowl, targeting long-standing gaps in stadium capacity, transport, parking and lodging.
The biggest pieces include BNA's $3 billion expansion by 2029, the Titans' enclosed $2.2 billion Nissan Stadium by 2027, and Mayor Freddie O'Connell's $3.1 billion transit plan already underway.
East Bank work adds roughly $300 million in roads, bridge and park upgrades around the stadium, while Bridgestone Arena's $750 million overhaul and a new $600 million performing arts center expand event capacity.
Hotel supply has also surged: Davidson County now has about 42,646 rooms, nearly 10,000 downtown rooms have been added since 2020, and at least 14 more hotels are set to open in 2026 and 2027.
