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. |
