Jim Nantz was named co-chair of Nashville’s Super Bowl LXIV host committee Tuesday alongside Mayor Freddie O’Connell, as the city formally celebrated landing the 2030 game.
Nantz said he plans to help shape the event off-air, not call it, because NBC and Peacock — not CBS — own Super Bowl LXIV rights.
Broadway and the new Nissan Stadium are central to Nashville’s plans, with Nantz predicting tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, will gather downtown even without tickets.
The CBS broadcaster has called 8 Super Bowls, including Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, the most-watched telecast in TV history; CBS is next scheduled to air the game in 2028 and 2032.
Nashville had been viewed as a front-runner for the 2030 Super Bowl, and Tuesday’s announcement made official what NFL officials had only hinted was viable around the new stadium.
