Kellen DeCorski, project executive with the Titans, said steel erection continues and crews set the first of roughly 50 ring‑beam pieces that will form the roof circle for the cable‑net and ETFE roof; precast installation of the 400‑level seating bowl had reached about 40 percent. John Gromas and project staff reported that the project has logged more than 2,000,000 labor hours (exceeding 2,200,000 by the following day) and averaged about 1,300 workers on site daily, with a one‑day peak of 1,418 workers.
On participation, project representatives reported nearly $100,000,000 in DBE spend across about 80 firms, and that 114 of 277 firms engaged to date are Tennessee firms. The DBE numbers were contrasted to an earlier report showing $3.9 million across 16 firms a year earlier.
Safety data presented by workforce leads showed 11 recordable incidents to date and zero lost‑time incidents; the reported total recordable incident rate (TRIR) was 0.99 based on the labor hours reported. The project team said none of the recordables resulted in lost‑time work restrictions, and described the single fracture cited as a hairline fracture for which the worker was placed on light duty and returned to work.
Project staff described active safety precautions for summer heat — a heat stress management plan, cooling stations, electrolyte distribution and wellness checks — and said the team aims to drive TRIR toward a 0.5 target described as best in class for NFL stadium projects. The project team also noted daily quality, scheduling and pre‑installation reviews, and said procurement work was about 95 percent complete from the contractor perspective.
Workforce development and small business assistance were discussed: a new TC2 cohort of 18 began a six‑week training program on July 11 to provide additional certifications, and a First and Goal small business assistance application cycle is open; the project team said the program partners include Citizens Bank, NBIC and Corner to Corner.
Board members asked clarifying questions about TRIR calculation, severity of injuries and state and national averages; staff said the national recordable rate is about 1.7 and Tennessee’s is about 1.9, and that the project is performing below those averages.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","07/17/25 Sports Authority","oneSentenceSummary","Project managers reported over 2 million labor hours, more than 1,300 workers on site daily, roughly $100 million in DBE spending across nearly 80 firms, and a total recordable incident rate under 1.0 at the stadium construction site.","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},6164572,"Nashville SC highlights community benefits, wage increases and international events at Geodis Park",824,1023000,1847000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428119-f076621693cc394ecddd814c95477bf2&start=1023&end=1847","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428119-f076621693cc394ecddd814c95477bf2/thumbnail_1023000.jpg","/articles/6164572/Tennessee/Nashville-SC-highlights-community-benefits-wage-increases-and-international-events-at-Geodis-Park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164572-5d671bdfb48e2eb9e5e1a1896b4cf999/orig.mp4?Expires=1770580607&Signature=U5P7F9R2-VgaMLJz8hLGI84w9LfnPly11iwACnyO34YlH2XvMDgGS7RRa-l6J0QDrP8f2lVzIeh-o5mkppu3reCacaM2Gq4BiS~Q8oibkHUTznud9314THW2eZhPc-OMydI7fzNc9Lbg~rIishP2D0qS26P8ji-L1sGY-W6ooaHs1U3K2RIcou8m-4aSN-VYn62PW3gicBMxxd-YcfDCOE-~McMecVO8DzT8hvov4ZIwrPvaik9sGQ3S9Y1kyij-PaY4aTTgLOHVGVXTLvic-68V2LQnl2LNivPhVk61Xxi3l6yVPZIOaUH6n34v40OM9iB~v~5nl75d~zH~Qxhjag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nashville Soccer Club briefed the Nashville Sports Authority on on‑field results, international matches and a range of community programs carried out under its community benefits agreement (CBA) at Geodis Park.
Lindsay Paola, chief business officer for Nashville SC, reported that the club’s first team is performing strongly in Major League Soccer and that recent international fixtures and friendlies have drawn attendance of roughly 14,000 to 17,000 fans for the visiting sides cited in the meeting. Paola said the club is awaiting FIFA data on out‑of‑town attendance to measure the tournament’s economic impact. She also said FIFA announced a $1,000,000 allocation to each city that hosted FIFA Club World Cup matches; details on timing and use of those funds were “a bit unclear,” she said.
Paola and Brandon Hill, head of community engagement, summarized CBA outcomes: last year the club donated about $19,000 in equipment to 22 Metro Nashville public elementary schools; hosted coaching clinics that included English Premier League coaches; provided 12 needs‑based scholarships for Promise Zone students to attend summer camps; and hired 254 part‑time stadium workers from Metro Nashville and surrounding counties, 38% of whom are Promise Zone residents. The club said it hired 17 full‑time employees last year and that almost half were Promise Zone residents. The CBA requires hourly wages of $15; Paola said the club paid $17–$20 per hour from 2022–2024 and increased wages in 2025 to $20–$23 per hour.
Paola also outlined upcoming events — including a friendly with Aston Villa in August and additional friendlies in September — and noted three players were selected for the MLS All‑Star Game. Brandon Hill described the club’s Unified Special Olympics program, noting the program has 23 players from 16 Tennessee schools and that the unified team plays games in conjunction with the first team, including matches at major stadiums such as Soldier Field and Mercedes‑Benz Stadium.
The club said it produces an annual CBA report that was distributed to the authority, the fair board, Metro Council and the mayor. Board members praised the club’s community work and wage increases; no board actions were requested or taken on these items during the meeting.","Nashville Soccer Club told the sports authority about stadium events, youth programs under its community benefits agreement, local hiring and wage increases, and Special Olympics Unified Team activities.",{"_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},6164577,"Sports authority OKs $1.42 million SEC reimbursement, stadium funding reordering and other finance items",416,554000,970000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428119-f076621693cc394ecddd814c95477bf2&start=554&end=970","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428119-f076621693cc394ecddd814c95477bf2/thumbnail_554000.jpg","/articles/6164577/Tennessee/Sports-authority-OKs-142-million-SEC-reimbursement-stadium-funding-reordering-and-other-finance-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164577-ef91cf952ae7e38f098554b079f68388/orig.mp4?Expires=1770580607&Signature=IZNpDoLLHzCNDVfH65YHGKfB2SfSx1DJ5owEHewnF5JKAWP7RnfcuObyCQ9~02MDXLteAdBce91EQ1VQMHnk4VajevabypXmZhF-O5vTPfOy6PxOTo5zkwdRNsnRzu5otVaEb94aMtecspn~S-tCp7-TtPB-cQso6nvbHxw6dpDGoZs0JWnOp~sDav3TdwELKF~wg8AAQmMFxeb1znbErqKMbt5VER5K6905FUL1PTclCew2EumnASGjWH-RiBcE-1N0EfG~VsK0wL5k~ctVBY7eSo0gd58eiRvI66jPRdF6s2CfmR24DhR63TWxm9mYur78N7ixZN2zLBnTAdJNiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nashville Sports Authority approved multiple finance committee resolutions at its Geodis Park meeting, including a $1,417,611 reimbursement tied to the 2025 SEC tournament and a redetermination of pro rata funding percentages for the new football stadium’s construction trust agreement.
Finance committee chair Dan Hogan summarized a package of motions the committee recommended for board action. Those included: authorizing up to $20,000 for fiscal 2026 staff and board professional development from fund 30289; approving payment of just under $2,000 for services related to First Horizon Park performed by Capital Project Solutions and authorizing up to $5,000 per occurrence for future emergency maintenance at that venue; approving a reordering of pro rata draws under the stadium construction funds trust agreement to change how PSL (personal seat license) proceeds are applied; approving first amendments to the Bridgestone Arena lease and the SEC tournament agreement to reflect the SEC tournament’s expansion; and authorizing reimbursement of $1,417,611 to Powers Management LLC for costs associated with hosting the 2025 SEC tournament.
Staff noted that Basbury & Sims served as counsel on the pro rata funding amendment and that Metro Legal recommended approval. The finance committee said the proposed pro rata reordering should benefit the authority because it advances PSL proceeds in the draw order and may increase available authority revenue allocation.
Each item was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. The resolution authorizing reimbursement to Powers Management LLC was presented after the board approved amendments to the related agreements; the board then approved the $1,417,611 reimbursement by voice vote.
The First Horizon Park invoice and supporting photos were included in the meeting packet behind the relevant tab; fund 30289 was cited as having sufficient funding for the professional development allocation. The meeting record contains no roll-call tallies for the voice votes and does not provide alternate motions or recorded dissents in the transcript.","The board approved several finance committee resolutions including a $1,417,611 reimbursement for the SEC tournament, redetermination of pro rata construction funding for the new football stadium, and smaller operational spending authorizations.",{"_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},6164581,"Sports authority board approves one-year extension and salary adjustment for executive director",139,383000,522000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428119-f076621693cc394ecddd814c95477bf2&start=383&end=522","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428119-f076621693cc394ecddd814c95477bf2/thumbnail_383000.jpg","/articles/6164581/Tennessee/Sports-authority-board-approves-one-year-extension-and-salary-adjustment-for-executive-director","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164581-cb0ecbe98d79e7af3c79184345fd4316/orig.mp4?Expires=1770580607&Signature=BSJ7~Khzox~uKt~gS6VUaqPXJLudQfaUMXdTsEBjDqjOWbYonJlU873-xG6FejSDa6ShqrF9ypb5Ge7pAMLzNiRfGUI-OW7qSzTdMT3Gy-sLLoHJkApWglKVWOfyFqnUVQ0ZFS8UbBRIxBmnjATaPfoF4Jm~O~hM6qV6dXSftjU-kgaDqRXekUxey55tOte~cmUG9Cco2rsITU9EpwVCkMreY9EmvaRW8l-fbjGz8kF7Po07T6zmWbGfEKTVghtWFPYec63y0ZMcgEVX4lznbwKajK8wW3KbQbRDzKMttFL4uO5IB1wwfsEkWUReqtYjpOuGilhZxKy8tAjOLSajNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nashville Sports Authority voted to extend and adjust the contract and pay for its executive director on a voice vote during its meeting at Geodis Park.
The board approved a one-year extension of the executive director’s contract, an adjustment of the title to president and CEO, and a total salary increase to $235,000, actions recommended unanimously by the personnel committee and supported by the finance committee.
The personnel committee reported that the change reflects “increased responsibilities as new venues have been constructed,” and noted that the authority will supplement Metro compensation with sports authority funds to reach the $235,000 total. The committee emphasized that, under the authority’s bylaws, the board sets the director’s pay.
Director Don Dearing presented the personnel committee’s recommendation and said the committee unanimously approved the changes. Dan Hogan, chair of the finance committee, described a comparative compensation analysis that showed the authority’s prior pay level lagged peers and said the adjustment places the position slightly above the 50th percentile nationally. Hogan said the finance committee supported revisiting the CEO title language but otherwise recommended approval.
Board members moved and seconded adoption of the personnel committee report; the board then approved the recommendation by voice vote.
No further changes to the contract language were read into the record during the meeting, and no alternative compensation figures were proposed. The board discussion in the meeting focused on comparators, responsibilities due to new venues, and alignment of pay-setting authority with the bylaws.
The board meeting record indicates the personnel and finance committees reviewed the item in advance; the committees’ reports and the revised contract terms were included in the meeting materials behind the personnel committee tab.","The Nashville Sports Authority approved a one-year extension, a title adjustment to president and CEO, and raised the executive director’s total compensation to $235,000, following personnel and finance committee recommendations.","actionData","errors"]
