The Metro Nashville Network held a Sports Authority board meeting on March 26, 2026, which included the introduction of new board members and an ethics training session. The meeting featured updates on several procurement and capital projects, including the ongoing construction of the new Nissan Stadium with a targeted completion in Q1 2027. The project management firm Group provided detailed progress reports on construction, quality control, scheduling, and compliance with a 25% goal for participation by small, local, and diverse businesses. Additionally, the board approved a $2.6 million contract with Uber Displays for a scoreboard upgrade at First Horizon Park. The Tennessee Titans presented the capital expenditure process for Nissan Stadium, highlighting a $42 million cap with less than 10% spent to date, and discussed upcoming NFL-mandated upgrades to pan-tilt-zoom cameras costing approximately $315,000 in hardware. The meeting also covered community engagement initiatives such as a sports industry playbook for local students and special events like the Music City Polar Plunge and the 2034 Special Olympics USA Games. No new contract awards or RFPs were voted on during this session, but several procurement-related projects and budget allocations were reviewed and discussed.
