Overseas is still the most popular American football, and therefore most of the stands are designed especially for this type of sport. During football matches, the organizers have to remodel the playing field according to the rules of “real” football.
During May, however, they opened GEODIS Park in Nashville, the largest football stadium in the United States, with a capacity of 30,000 seats. Paradoxically, the 2026 World Cup will not be played on it. Due to capacity. Nashville also has a Nissan Stadium with a promised capacity of 75,000 seats.
Back in December 2016, construction was expected to cost $ 275 million. The price tag eventually climbed to $ 335 million.
The construction of the stadium took a relatively short time. The whole construction process took just over 20 months. The “Boys in Gold” have previously played more than two seasons at the huge Nissan Stadium, home of the NFL Tennessee Titans. Interestingly, the Nashville “colossus” was built 23 years ago at a lower cost than the new SC Nashville football club booth.
