Construction on the new Tennessee Titans stadium remains on schedule and on budget, project officials told the Sports Authority, and the team launched a public call to artists to place artwork throughout the 2,100,000‑square‑foot venue.

Kellen DeCoursey, project executive for the Titans, said the stadium reached a major milestone with the concrete decks topped out and the project now transitioning to structural-steel roof work. “We remain on schedule and on budget,” DeCoursey said, adding the project recently recorded about 1,100 workers on site daily and has surpassed 1,500,000 labor hours. He also noted a recent lift of a 290,000‑pound structural steel truss that required two cranes and about 20 ironworkers to install.

Adolfo Burch, chief external and legal affairs officer for the Titans, and John Gromos of the Tennessee Builders Alliance briefed the board on workforce and participation. Gromos said the project is putting in roughly 60,000 work hours weekly and will expand its pre‑hire and cohort programs; cohort six finished and cohort seven will extend from three to six weeks to add additional certifications for participants.

Officials reported ongoing participation and payments growth for disadvantaged-business-enterprise (DBE) participation and said payments “now are at 87.06” (the transcript did not specify the unit or whether that figure is a percentage or dollar amount). The project team said they expect to meet and likely exceed DBE goals based on project flow and current commitments.

Kate Guerra, head of communications for the Titans project, described a call to artists that launched about two weeks before the meeting. Guerra said the team received roughly 50 submissions in the first two weeks, nearly all local, and that selection will be made this fall by an art council that will include Sports Authority participation. Selected artists will have more than a year to develop work; installations are planned once the stadium is dried in, with on‑site installation anticipated in 2027. Guerra said the project is prioritizing local and Tennessee artists while remaining open to national and international submissions.

Project staff noted safety and training work on site: a recordable incident in April involving a materials-handling injury prompted retraining, and safety week activities coincided with the project’s topping-out celebration. Workforce development, DBE participation, and art selection processes will continue to be tracked by the project and reported to the Sports Authority as construction progresses.
