09/17/26 Sports Authority: Finance Committee

The Metro Nashville Network Finance Committee met on September 17, 2026, to discuss and approve a resolution for a change order related to the East Bank Stadium project. The change order involves the demolition and reconstruction of a portion of the Sigenthaler pedestrian bridge, a critical infrastructure component for pedestrian access to the Titans Stadium and future East Bank development. The project is estimated at a not-to-exceed $75 million budget, funded through the East Bank Development Authority (EBDA) with oversight from multiple agencies including Metro Planning, INDOT, and Metro Finance. The committee reviewed roles and responsibilities, project scope, timeline, and financial arrangements, emphasizing that the Sports Authority will have no financial liability as funds will flow from EBDA to cover costs. The project aims to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, including ADA compliance enhancements. The resolution was approved without opposition, with ongoing collaboration and communication among stakeholders planned throughout the design and construction phases.
