Adelphia Coliseum
Preview
The Titans will be playing in
one of the NFL’s premier stadiums in 1999. The 67,000-seat,
open-air, natural-grass stadium is located on 105 acres on the
east bank of the Cumberland River overlooking downtown Nashville.
It was built by HOCK Sports Facilities Group of Kansas City,
MO, the same group that designed Jacksonville’s Alltel Stadium,
Miami’s Joe Robbie Stadium, Charlotte’s Ericsson Stadium, Baltimore’s
Camden Yards, and the Nashville Arena. The stadium will also
be the home site for the Tennessee State University football
squad. |

Titans Preview
The Tennessee Titans 2nd place finish in AFC South in the
2006 season was a great improvement over
2005, and the 2007 season promises to be even better. But
with Adam “Pacman” Jones suspended,
how will the Titans cope? With star quarterback Vince Young
at the helm and the additions of
cornerback Nick Harper and draft picks Michael Griffin,
Chris Henry and Paul Williams, fans
have every reason to be excited about the 2007 season.
Tennessee
Titans, professional football team and one of six teams in
the Central Division of the American Football Conference
(AFC) of the National Football League (NFL). Under the
league’s realignment plan, which will take affect in 2002,
the Titans will play in the South Division of the AFC. The
team formerly played in Houston, Texas, as the Houston
Oilers. The Titans now play in Adelphia Coliseum in
Nashville, Tennessee, and wear uniforms of blue, red, and
white. The team’s logo is a white T surrounded by three red
stars. The team's name was chosen because in Greek mythology
Titans exemplified the characteristics of power, strength,
knowledge, and excellence.
Some Tennessee Titans history: The Titans began their
history as the Houston Oilers and as charter members of the
AFL in 1960, and that same year the franchise won the AFL's
first championship. Houston won another AFL championship a
year later under head coach Wally Lemm, who oversaw a
powerful offense with lineups that featured quarterback-placekicker
George Blanda, running back Billy Cannon, and wide receivers
Bill Groman and Charley Hennigan.
