When the Tennessee Titans officially open the doors to its stadium in Nashville, Eddie George and Glenda Glover will have a little bit more change in the Tennessee State football budget at their disposal.

Nashville’s City Council voted earlier this month to approve $760 million in revenue bonds for a new $2.1 billion stadium for the Titans.

Currently, TSU football pays $200,000 per game to play home contests at Nissan Stadium. Under a new agreement with the franchise, the school would pay nothing.

“The Titans-TSU relationship is like no other pro-college relationship in the country and is getting better with time,” George said in an interview about the deal. “I am so excited about a new stadium, and what it means for TSU student-athletes, who will get the opportunity to play there and experience a wonderful time in this new stadium,” George said.

TSU President Glenda Glover explained that the Tigers playing at one location will save the program thousands annually.

“Right now, we pay $200,000 per game. We would save $200,000 as we play six games,” said Glover. “If we choose not to play at the stadium, TSU will get $150,000 per game, which means up to $900,000 per year. Finally and really important, the Titans organization has committed to assist TSU as we seek to build our own stadium on campus.

TSU would have full signage at the new stadium and digital takeover options for TSU games. We’ll continue to keep all revenue related to ticket and parking and concessions.”

Tennessee State is scheduled to play four home games at Nissan Stadium in 2023.
