NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill that could indicate a play at potentially bringing a Super Bowl game to Nashville.

The bill, SB 2093, establishes an official policy for the maintenance of records by the Department of Tourist Development.

“As introduced, establishes the official policy for the maintenance of records by the department of tourist development,” the bill reads.

The bill blocks the public from accessing certain department records for up to a decade. According to Brandon Puttbrese, press secretary for the Tennessee Democratic Caucus, the legislation “would give the tourism commissioner wide latitude to keep documents confidential – perhaps for a run at the National Football League’s Super Bowl.”

The new Nissan stadium will be built on the east side of the current stadium campus, along Nashville’s East Bank. Features of the building include a circular translucent roof; exterior porches with panoramic views of Nashville; improved sightlines; and a 12,000-square-foot community space available for use year-round, the Titans said.

It’s expected to be completed in 2027.
