A Tennessee Titans stadium tax fund is projected to generate nearly $3 billion over 34 years.
The fund is scheduled to pay for Nashville revenue bonds on the proposed $2.1 billion Titans stadium, collecting $2.9 billion through 2056, according to Metro Nashville — not including the state’s $500 million commitment.
The tax fund is set to pay off $760 million in revenue bonds from the Metro Nashville Sports Authority and will be used toward a capital improvements fund for stadium work in the future.

New to Nashville
At a capacity of 60,000, the stadium could be the smallest in the NFL. It would still be able to host the Super Bowl since the NFL has adjusted its requirements.
A domed stadium has support from country music star Garth Brooks, who wrote a letter to Metro Council calling an enclosed stadium “a must.”
