The National Football League has officially selected Nashville as the host city for Super Bowl LXIV, marking the first time the Tennessee capital will host the league’s biggest event.
The announcement was made during the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando after team owners approved the proposal following a review by the league’s Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee. The game will be played at the new Nissan Stadium, currently under development and set to become the future home of the Tennessee Titans.
“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the greatest fan events in our history,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, in a media statement. “Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey.”
A First For Nashville
Nashville previously demonstrated its ability to host major sporting events during the 2019 NFL Draft, which attracted approximately 600,000 attendees over the course of the weekend and generated an estimated $224 million in economic impact for the destination.
Beyond the championship game itself, Super Bowl week is expected to bring a full lineup of ancillary events, including NFL Honors, the Super Bowl Experience, Opening Night and several community engagement initiatives tied to the league’s business and supplier diversity programs.
“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 press statement.
Meanwhile, On Location, the NFL’s official hospitality partner, has already launched its Priority Access deposit program for Super Bowl LXIV hospitality packages. The program offers fans early access to premium seating, hospitality experiences and exclusive event packages tied to the championship game.
