History
On September 12, 1999, the Tennessee Titans moved into their new stadium. The stadium was originally known as Adelphia Coliseum after Adelphia Communications paid $30 million for the naming rights for 15 years. However, prior to the start of the 2002 NFL season, the naming rights were dropped and the stadium was known as The Coliseum for four seasons. The stadium was renamed LP Field in June 2006, when the Louisiana-Pacific Corporation purchased the naming rights for $3 million/year for 10 years. LP Field consists of three levels of 68,000 blue and red seats. The lower grandstand circles the entire gridiron. Two other decks of seating are located on both sides of the field. Two scoreboard/video-boards are located behind the seating area past the endzones. LP Field contains 144 luxury suites, and 9,600 club seats (which make up the second tier of the grandstand). The stadium is also the home of the Tennessee State Tigers and hosts the annual Music City Bowl. Fans attending games at LP Field receive excellent views of the nearby Nashville skyline and the Cumberland River.


Located in the Music City, the Tennessee Titans play in one of the NFL’s best stadiums. However, the team has not always played in the best stadiums prior to moving into The Coliseum. After 30 years of playing in Houston, TX at the Astrodome, the team, then known as the Houston Oilers, wanted a new football only stadium in the mid 1990’s. After numerous attempts to get a stadium failed, the team decided to move to Nashville, TN. There was one problem, Nashville did not have a stadium ready for the team by the time they moved in 1996. While a new stadium was being constructed in Nashville, the Titans played at the Liberty Bowl and Vanderbilt Stadium.

Titans agree to terms with Davis, Ford

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with receiver Chris Davis and defensive end Jacob Ford on Tuesday.

The Titans now have five of their 10 draft picks under contract. Davis was their fourth-round pick and he could contribute early after starting 22 of 51 games at Florida State, where he caught 137 passes for 1,842 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Ford was a sixth-round pick, and he was a Division I-AA All-American at Central Arkansas as a senior. He had 17 sacks and 32½ tackles for loss in 24 games. He started his career at Memphis in 2001 before working full-time in 2002 through 2003.

The son of late jazz musician Fred "Sweet Daddy" Goodlow Ford, the defensive end had the second-fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, with a time of 4.68 seconds.
 

Titans agree to term with WR Filani
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with rookie wide receiver Joel Filani on a contract Thursday.

Filani, a sixth-round draft pick out of Texas Tech, was eighth in career receptions, sixth in yardage, and second in touchdown receptions. As a senior, he had 91 receptions for a school-record 1,300 yards and tied the school mark with 13 touchdowns.

He caught nine passes for 144 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown catch, that sparked Tech's record 44-41 comeback win over Minnesota in last season's Insight Bowl.

The Titans have agreed to terms with six of their 10 draft picks.
