On Tuesday, May 19, Tennessee House Republicans announced on X that Nashville will host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030.
The Super Bowl is projected to bring over 120,000 visitors, over 10,000 support roles, and over $1.25 billion to Nashville.
“From new jobs to packed hotels and more than $1.25+ BILLION in tourism revenue and global exposure for TN, hosting one of the world’s biggest sporting events will be MASSIVE for the TN economy. Plus we get to showcase everything that makes Tennessee special,” Tennessee House Republicans said in its post on X.
Representative Rush Bricken, who serves on the Tennessee House of Representatives, forwarded the announcement to Peterson Media Group. Bricken also forwarded information on the projected economic impact of four major events that could be held at Nissan Stadium.
