Finance Chair Dan Hogan reported revenue highlights from PMC, saying parking revenue totaled about $302,000 for the period in question versus “just under $325,000” the prior year. Hogan said the results were “higher than expected” given recent conditions. The finance committee recommended approval of the audited financials and moved adoption; the authority approved the motion by voice vote.

The finance committee also considered the FY26 CIP for First Horizon Park. Adam English provided an overview of previously approved and underway projects and the three or four projects requested for FY26, which Hogan summarized as totaling about $100,000. The committee recommended adoption; the authority approved the CIP by voice vote.

Separately, the finance committee reported on a multi-month discussion about pursuing an independent audit of security practices and procedures across the authority’s facilities. Dan Hogan said facility partners had agreed to pursue an independent review “in addition to the league-required security plans” and partner plans, noting an independent third-party view would be valuable. The authority directed staff to put together a plan to pursue that audit and to return with recommendations in the coming months. The chair announced she would appoint Director Pulley to serve as the authority’s security liaison to coordinate with staff and partners.

Hogan and other committee members said the independent review is intended to complement existing venue security plans and league requirements; staff will present a scope and schedule when available.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","01/16/25 Sports Authority","oneSentenceSummary","The Metro Sports Authority approved two finance committee-backed resolutions — accepting PMC’s FY24 audited parking financials and adopting a FY26 capital improvement plan for First Horizon Park — and directed staff to develop a plan for an independent, third-party audit of security practices at authority facilities.","taxTitle","Sports Authority Meetings, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee","taxId",77588,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6382093,"Metro Sports Authority approves final stadium permit set for new enclosed stadium",215,644000,859000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2127607-5fac9785b2728fd81bbf697f969e1738&start=644&end=859","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2127607-5fac9785b2728fd81bbf697f969e1738/thumbnail_644000.jpg","/articles/6382093/Tennessee/Metro-Sports-Authority-approves-final-stadium-permit-set-for-new-enclosed-stadium","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6382093-23416256d11dd243d15c32524c1d8cda/orig.mp4?Expires=1770962934&Signature=f2BxjcCb3pEgThv~XXU4aXyvent-2JUDA9bx2ieFqGPLSJvn7vp~iWffbmuWrOGtl4cN5N2hqL1OogwOL7NK6iweoc6PYDoT251pZYYeZW6mu7IPOQpx0C7E-1J87PtB3YxDNOBZ4PZj7s17pqWyA8O2UBmF5CUKnmPzWkafGajiHVuT6yUVdUCe9GqpB41-OJ~cfFlG0GJj8bVt49l1UXSv32BBfexxQg~pAQb14f2Wc8W64asgyRWRLrsCnFfFnCgRJLQf9-rKiqyBnTu1pLxagtDHqWudFnsU72iBJzFPu8xDZ5aeEmQmXzA44MjwSccPtWeM7zOTYnogdpJ-Mg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metro Sports Authority voted to approve the final stadium plans, described by staff as the building permit set or “100% construction document set,” clearing the design documents for construction coordination while reserving the right to return to the authority if material design changes arise.

Authority members approved the permit set after a presentation from Heather Hill of Cummins Group and Tom Cross, Metro’s deputy law director, who told the authority the review team “did a very thorough review” and found no material changes from previously approved plans. Hill said the set represents the standard 100% construction document package and that any future material changes would return to the authority for approval.

The resolution before the authority formally approves the permit set for the enclosed football stadium and was described as consistent with prior approvals. Cross and Hill emphasized that the resolution does not alter the terms of outstanding memorandum(s) of understanding (MOU) between Metro Sports Authority and the Titans; Cross said the resolution “contemplates that it doesn't change the outcome of anything in the MOU.” The authority approved the resolution by voice vote with no nays recorded.

During discussion, staff noted a small number of peripheral design items remain open between Metro Sports Authority and the Titans and that teams continue to meet to close those items. Hill said teams “are all working very well together to ensure that we bring all those items to closure.” Tom Cross added that if there were to be a material change in use or design, the matter would be brought back to the authority.

The authority’s action clears the current construction documents for implementation and continued coordination with contractors and design teams. Staff and legal said the body will be updated if anything material changes that would affect the approved permit set.

The vote concludes the agenda item; the authority moved on to facility questions following the vote.","The Metro Sports Authority voted to approve the building permit set — described as the 100% construction documents — for the new enclosed stadium, with the authority and Titans noting certain outstanding MOU items would be addressed separately.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6382082,"Titans outline sustainability goals for current and new Nissan Stadium, report diversion and composting results",1047,2186000,3233000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2127607-5fac9785b2728fd81bbf697f969e1738&start=2186&end=3233","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2127607-5fac9785b2728fd81bbf697f969e1738/thumbnail_2186000.jpg","/articles/6382082/Tennessee/Titans-outline-sustainability-goals-for-current-and-new-Nissan-Stadium-report-diversion-and-composting-results","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6382082-39550a03eece713515203afa6deeb37d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770962934&Signature=oIba2C-p~D1oWUMK1ij4r~9qcOI7M~Y1MxGMZLyKVyKzup22b94qzo9WAqf13OjwH6MJqrqgBpUk5l3yqZ5-ANuw-7AMQfHve2LMLbqvEeRm644x23y0FTc1fF9jAeGdKQJXXZabB5wDMJT-oVgF2mQZdECb2aAWVtuX~YeHKBVq9P5Wie~ToWh4D~DWLDbEXLwr~fr9s2KwN6gm5Tdoo1S9cPtwsEn3OJgtgS979~174MYwtPgmw-04~f5NVx4VEfIrMDfDSuCHOrJw3p1MROt08j6FucfoRxj99VfKrz0vQ1B~tps~sG12GUhG0ZX1Qvvgex89s32F5eLQ40BZjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tennessee Titans and stadium operations partners presented sustainability work to the Metro Sports Authority, outlining current waste-diversion efforts at the existing Nissan Stadium and sustainability features planned for the new stadium.

Shannon Myers, chief financial officer for the Titans and executive sponsor of the internal sustainability committee, said the organization formed a committee in 2023 and developed a sustainability statement committing the Titans and Nissan Stadium “to fostering a sustainable future, reducing our environmental footprint, and amplifying impactful solutions.” Myers said the organization has an “audacious” goal of achieving zero waste in the new stadium and has begun back-of-house composting and post-event sorting at the current stadium as preparation.

The Titans said a 2024 internal waste audit and subsequent changes — double bowl picks by janitorial staff, post-game sorting with contracted partners, and additional recycling receptacles adjacent to trash cans — allowed the team to divert a significant quantity of material. Presenters reported the following results for 2024 (as stated at the meeting): diversion of approximately 209,000 pounds of waste in 2024 through recycling, compost and cardboard programs; 1.6 million cans, cups and bottles sorted and diverted (a figure the presenters said equates to an estimated $78,000 in value from recycling); composting of roughly 24,000 pounds of food scraps; donation of about 5,000 meals; and diversion of about 74,000 pounds of cardboard.

The Titans also reported a mobility pilot with WIGO (a ride platform) in which the Titans subsidized rides on home football Sundays; the team said roughly 12,000 subsidized rides transported fans to games and that the broader program recorded about 150,000 rides across the season under the partnership. Myers said the team marketed the offer through “know before you go” emails, the team website and social channels and that partners such as WM and Coca-Cola have been integral to the program.

On the new stadium, Kellen DeCourcy said the design will include a rainwater-collection system that stores roughly 400,000 gallons for reuse in toilets, cooling-tower makeup and irrigation. DeCourcy said the team is pursuing LEED Gold certification for the new stadium and will create a roughly 7,000-square-foot “resource recovery room” to process sorted materials indoors rather than outdoors. He also said the demolition of the existing stadium — planned to begin after the final game in early 2027 — will be planned for high diversion of materials, with a contractor target of 98% material diversion from the landfill through reuse and recycling.

Myers emphasized the initiatives are a multi-year effort and that the Titans will continue to refine tracking and report more detailed data in future meetings.","The Tennessee Titans and stadium partners described a sustainability program that includes expanded recycling and composting at the current stadium, a goal of zero waste for the new stadium, a planned resource-recovery room, pursuit of LEED certification and rainwater reuse in the new design.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6382087,"Stadium construction advances: superstructure progress, DBE participation and workforce training highlighted",238,979000,1217000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2127607-5fac9785b2728fd81bbf697f969e1738&start=979&end=1217","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2127607-5fac9785b2728fd81bbf697f969e1738/thumbnail_979000.jpg","/articles/6382087/Tennessee/Stadium-construction-advances-superstructure-progress-DBE-participation-and-workforce-training-highlighted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6382087-ca4c450528f473ca7d9219575e802a01/orig.mp4?Expires=1770962934&Signature=XPWjwHVyBueC~ik0CuyW7jnkiOrrCWVlCx2gCIw6i8V~jUEWipYsmCuY-sOsVTiIupsS9dbfq0De-0XPAZNapaQdFRII5BYFJhcRNZzm4DngReR7~XR4Qz5bjHM-fThtY-v4NYZGuGkHufamxS5djMs-zTfiknKKGT0N~HrO0fZ28UYfhdHsXB1DzTi4GwO4IR8n5~2DwBXgzQtovnSZ50AAgTG8ztapNb863Bf9YX5~erA1WepgVYfTqPZ1K7bceHvtaky6yAZI-WsYHQ0yCupwzUOdPIx501Z7ZwtJEtMcBvQ6COVkaWge0xenAQEi2yUF1D~Vj3sPMLFWresSUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Contractors and the Titans’ construction team reported progress on the new Nissan Stadium’s superstructure, increased on-site labor, and ongoing efforts to meet diversity and workforce-development goals.

A construction representative for Tennessee Builders Alliance (TBA) told the authority the project averaged about 715 workers on-site daily and had logged roughly 725,000 labor hours to date. The team said workers will soon begin setting steel on the raker beams and precast pieces — more than 2,000 pieces are expected to be set starting in February.

The construction update included site milestones: completion of the first full 360-degree connected elevated slab (the plaza level above the playing field), ongoing below-grade parking concrete work, and the start of the East Bank pump station (a Metro Water partnership) that is planned to support the stadium and nearby development.

TBA and contractors reported recorded payments to DBE (disadvantaged business enterprise) and small-business firms logged in the Metro system. Reported payments so far included approximately $26.3 million to women-owned firms, $5.1 million to minority-owned firms, and $19.9 million to small businesses, totaling about $51.5 million recorded to date. The team said awards to date total about $1.08 billion in contract value and projected future DBE involvement at higher totals (presentations provided projections for women-, minority-, and small-business participation). TBA said it is tracking additional breakdowns (for example, Tennessee-owned business counts) and will provide further detail at the next meeting.

Workforce and training updates noted the Titans’ TC2 Construction Training Camp program: multiple cohorts have graduated and cohort 5 was graduating on Jan. 31. The update highlighted an individual success story: graduate Miles Gooch, a Nashville native, joined the project workforce after completing the TC2 program and was publicly presented with a 2025 Nissan Frontier by a Nissan representative in recognition of his work.

Contractors reported workforce demographics: about 60% of workers were minorities and those workers accounted for about 71% of labor hours logged to date. About 22% of workers came from Promise Zone counties, contributing nearly 30% of recorded hours.

On safety, contractors reported a handful of first-aid incidents and several recordable injuries since the last report. The presentation listed five recordable incidents through the end of December, and speakers said a sixth recordable would be reported in the next update; cited examples included a worker who later was diagnosed with a small foot fracture after a plywood incident and a worker who fractured an elbow after stepping into an uncovered beam pocket. Contractors said they perform root-cause analysis after every incident to adjust training, supervision, and site controls.

TBA invited authority members to future site tours and said it will provide additional demographic breakdowns and lists of participating small and women-owned firms at the next meeting.","Contractors reported rising on-site labor, completion of a connected elevated slab, DBE payments to date, workforce demographics, safety incidents and continued emphasis on hiring from local promise zones and training programs.","actionData","errors"]
