Project leads for the new Titans stadium updated the Sports Authority on construction milestones, workforce participation and community programs, saying the project is on schedule with more than a million labor hours recorded and significant local contracting and workforce engagement.

Kellen DeCourcy and Adolfo Burch said the project has passed the one‑year construction mark, with approximately two years remaining on the schedule. Project teams reported they have exceeded 1,000,000 labor hours and plan a workers’ celebration to recognize that milestone.

Construction milestones cited at the meeting included: 275 seating-bowl precast pieces set (described as over 10% complete), the concrete superstructure roughly 90% complete, installation of several escalators (4 of 44 set), the underground player parking garage complete, and visible work on site infrastructure including a cistern tank and cooling-tower well. Officials said much of the superstructure concrete work is expected to finish in May, after which steel installation will increase the building height.

Officials also described a 15,000,000-gallon sewer pump station being built as part of East Bank infrastructure work; crews are tunneling under Woodland Street to connect the pump station to the stadium and the pump station is targeted to complete by the end of 2026.

Workforce and participation figures presented include: 114 local firms participating out of a denominator of 277, approximately $74 million in paid amounts to date covering 57 different firms, an average on-site workforce of roughly 900–950 workers per day, and minority participation making up about 70% of work hours. The Promise Zone community accounted for about 20% of workers and almost 30% of the total work hours, officials said.

Safety and training: Project safety data presented showed no recordable incidents in February and reported a project recordable incident rate of 1.17 through February, compared with a national average of 1.70 and a Tennessee average of 1.9; project leaders said their goal is to lower the recordable incident rate toward 0.5. Workforce-development programs reported successive graduated cohorts in the project training pipeline (TC2), increasing the total graduates in the program.

Why it matters: The report indicates steady progress on a major civic infrastructure project with notable local contracting and workforce participation and an emphasis on safety and community workforce development.

Officials invited authority members to a site tour and noted ongoing community programming and small-business support tied to the project.
