The
Tennessee Titans play in one of the NFL’s most beautiful stadiums
- LP Field (formerly The Nashville Coliseum). After 30 years of playing
in Houston at the Astrodome, the team, then known as the Houston Oilers,
began wanting a new football-only stadium in the mid 1990’s. After
numerous attempts failed to get a stadium in Houston, the team decided
to move to Nashville. There was one problem though, Nashville did
not have a stadium ready for the team by the time they relocated in
1996. While a new stadium was being constructed in Nashville, the
Titans played at the Liberty Bowl and Vanderbilt Stadium. Finally,
on September 12, 1999, the Tennessee Titans moved onto LP Field.
LP Field consists of three levels of 67,000 blue and red seats. The
lower grandstand circles the entire gridiron. Two other decks of seating
are located on both sides of the field. Two scoreboard/video-boards
are located behind the seating area past the endzones. LP Field has
175 corporate suites and 12,000 club seats with access to two 25,000-square
foot club lounges featuring high-quality food and beverage services,
sit-down eating areas, closed
circuit TV's and sound systems.
The Tennessee Titan uniform colors are Navy blue and Columbia blue
with white, red, and silver. The Tennessee Titans helmet logo features
a circle with three stars, similar to that found on the flag of Tennessee,
a large "T" and blue and red flames.
LP Field is also the home of the Tennessee State Tigers and hosts
Nashville's Music City Bowl. Fans attending games at The Coliseum
enjoy excellent views of the nearby Nashville skyline and the Cumberland
River. |
