"The NFL announced Tuesday at its Spring League Meeting in Orlando that Nashville will host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030 at the new Nissan Stadium, marking the first time the city has ever hosted the league's championship game. The announcement comes after a review by the NFL's Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee and a vote by full ownership. Commissioner Roger Goodell pointed to Nashville's track record with major events, specifically the 2019 NFL Draft, which drew 600,000 fans and generated $224 million in economic impact in a then-record-setting weekend, as a blueprint for what the city can deliver on the sport's biggest stage."
""The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the greatest fan events in our history," Goodell said. "Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey." Nashville Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, whose vision for the new Nissan Stadium helped set this process in motion, called it an exciting moment not just for the franchise but for the state of Tennessee."
""We cannot wait for our community to experience an event of this magnitude and for the world to see the energy, hospitality, and culture that make our city so special," Strunk said. Beyond the game itself, Super Bowl week in Nashville will include NFL Honors, the Super Bowl Experience, Super Bowl Opening Night, and community initiatives through NFL Source, the league's procurement program for local and underrepresented businesses."
"Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. president and CEO Deana Ivey framed the hosting opportunity as a chance to put Music City's identity on a global stage, noting the city has built a reputation for staging major events at the highest level."
