 I heard someone say there were around 22K Buffalo fans there.  And they were LOUD!  

I bet they weren't after the game! Thanks for the sales tax money.

Also, the commentators had a ton of great things to say about Nashville. Said it was a destination city for so many NFL fans. 

They really did, they were a free Nashville commercial the entire game it was awesome.

I also love when we play at home and I can't make the game, I always hear us score before I see it, pretty great.

I would assume so. The stadium was absolutely packed. 

[Kv615]

Does anyone have an info on when they plan to release plans for the stadium renovation?  Getting the itch to get it moving, even more so after last night. Nashville is ready for the next stage when it comes to the stadium!

Exactly.  I checked out the "Bills Mafia" social media.  There were TONS here and they took pics all over Nashville.  So, without question, they spent serious money in Nashville.  When I worked downtown I would always see visiting fans the Thurs/Fri before a home game.  At the bars, on pedal taverns, dining all over...  it truly is an incredible city to make a game a "mini-vacation".  When my daughter travels to cities for travel soccer we always look at what's available and if we want to get there early.  (Denver, Chicago, Buffalo and Niagara Falls...)  And what's REALLY funny is talking to visiting parents that travel HERE from somewhere far away.  Soccer moms look ROUGH on a Sunday morning because they hit Nashville hard the night before.  I promise, I have heard "yeah I have to bring (insert player name) home after the game.  Her mom is still in the hotel trying to get up."

I was at the Buffalo and KC games and I would estimate that Buffalo had about 20,000 to maybe 25,000 of the 69,000 but Kansas City had to be at least half the crowd and wouldn't be surprised if it was over half.  Everyone from opposing teams that sits around us always say that as soon as they see the Titans on the schedule, they start immediately planning it as the away game to travel to......, great downtown atmosphere, tickets more reasonable than most cities, Southwest Airlines, Titans fans are not as hostile or unwelcoming as most places, etc....

I always wonder about stadium capacities and record attendance. The stadium has x amount of seats that people can sit in and allows x amount of people in boxes and suites. Where are all the additional people going? Are they selling standing room only tickets? 

Just curious. Thanks.

Yes. Plus I imagine more tickets or passes for the boxes can be sold.

NBA IN NASHVILLE? 
https://fanbuzz.com/nba/nba-expansion-cities/amp/

 

 

Nashville is in the same category as St. Louis. Great city with already established professional teams. Plus, Memphis is only a few hours away.

[FrankNash]

Just got back from The Nashville SC game today.  The guy next to me is visiting from Germany on a road trip of the middle of our country.  Without even asking he says Nashville has been the best place to visit so far.   Also very surprised at the size of the crowd.  He just went on and on about the free live music.  Anyway, it's just nice to know what I'm hearing and seeing myself is for real!

[nashvylle]

Wow. Bravo

amazing vision for Vanderbilt’s modernization/upgrade to athletic facilities. Honestly so amazed.

Cant wait. It's been a long time coming.

[MLBrumby]

Wow!!! Looks great. Love the elevated endzone areas. Thanks for posting all together here. As an alum, my heart leapt when I saw them. Then quickly sank as I realized they can't even fill up the podunk stadium they have now.  I've mentioned before on this forum that I think the best model for them is TCU in Ft. Worth.  About 20 years ago, I went to their (then) newly expanded stadium and it gave me major Vandy Stadium vibes, albeit with really cool endzone activity.  The stadium was a bit more than half full for the game then against Air Force. Since that time, they have grown their fanbase (a good start was winning games with LT).  Their stadium is now a whole generation beyond what they had back then. I wish Vandy the very best and do plan to actually drive (out of my way) up to Nashville for a game or two or... you never know! 

[nashvylle]

IMO Vanderbilt went from one of the worst stadiums to complete respectability with these modern endzones. It looks amazing, and I pray the Titans do something similar and then some.

What do you mean by this? Like we don't like that they would remain aluminum benches as opposed to actual seats? having been to a game there what is truly wrong with the stands?

[smeagolsfree]

All this time everyone was complaining about the bleachers and having the smallest stadium in the SEC on here and neither of those have been addressed, so thats why I bring it up.

Just asking?
