 LP
Field
Nashville, TN
Located in the Music City, the Tennessee Titans play in one of the NFL’s best
stadiums. However, the team has not always played in the best
stadiums prior to moving into LP Field. After 30 years of
playing in Houston, TX at the Astrodome, the team, then known as
the Houston Oilers, wanted a new football only stadium in
the mid 1990’s. After numerous attempts to get a stadium failed,
the team decided to move to Nashville, TN. There was one problem, Nashville did not have a stadium ready for the team by the
time they moved in 1996. While a new stadium was being constructed
in Nashville, the Titans played at the Liberty Bowl and Vanderbilt
Stadium.

On September 12, 1999, the
Tennessee Titans moved into their new stadium. The stadium was
originally known as Adelphia Coliseum
after Adelphia Communications paid $30 million for the naming
rights for 15 years. However, prior to the start of the 2002 NFL
season, the naming rights were dropped and the stadium is now
known as LP Field. The stadium consists of three levels of
68,000 blue and red seats. The lower grandstand circles the entire
gridiron.
Two
other decks of seating are located on both sides of the field. Two scoreboard/video-boards are located
behind the seating area past the endzones. LP Field contains
144 luxury suites, and 9,600 club seats (which make up the second
tier of the grandstand).
LP Field is also the home of the
Tennessee State Tigers and hosts the Music City Bowl. This bowl game
matches teams from the SEC and Big Ten Conference. Fans attending
games at LP Field receive excellent views of the nearby Nashville
skyline and the Cumberland River.
