In the May 19th NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando, it was officially announced that the 2030 Super Bowl LXIV will be played in Nashville, Tennessee. This will be the very first time that Tennessee has ever hosted the Super Bowl, becoming the 21st city in history to ever host one.
“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,” said Deana Ivey, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp, president & CEO, in a statement from the NFL.
This news comes during Nashville’s construction of their brand new stadium venue, Nissan Stadium, located on the Cumberland River. It is slated to open in 2027, after which the NFL’s Tennessee Titans will be calling the stadium their new home. For the “Music City,” securing this Super Bowl game and continuing construction on this new stadium is a massive step forward in its attempt to become one of the country’s premier tourist destinations.
The population of Nashville has grown substantially over the last few years, and the city overall has been in a constant state of growth. From new resorts, bars, and this new sports stadium, Nashville seems to be breaking away from its primarily musical ties to become something bigger, a place of music but also sports and rich culture. Many around the country will be waiting to see what other attractions Nashville has to offer sports fans in 2030.
“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,” added Ivey. “We are grateful to the NFL for the confidence they have placed in our community. Nashville has earned a reputation for hosting major events at the highest level, and we are ready to welcome the world.”
