The Coliseum is a football stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, used primarily as the home stadium of the NFL's Tennessee Titans, but also used by Tennessee State University. It is also the site of the Music City Bowl, a postseason college football game played each December. The Coliseum is located on the east bank of the Cumberland River, directly across the river from downtown Nashville. Its capacity is slightly under 69,000.
The facility was originally known as Adelphia Coliseum in a naming rights arrangement, but after Adelphia missed a required payment and subsequently filed for bankruptcy in 2002 this name was dropped.
The stadium was completed in 1999; its construction was delayed when the construction site was hit by a tornado that struck downtown Nashville on April 16, 1998 and destroyed several cranes.
