No long lines at the new Titan Stadium

“We will have 40 markets throughout the building that will replace the traditional concession stands,” Lipkey said. “You will enter the market and serve yourself using Amazon’s Just Walk Out Technology.” You tap your card and walk, and there’s camera technology that tracks what you’re grabbing. “It’ll cost you and you’ll just walk out the gate.”

Just Walk Out technology has been available since 2018 but has never been used in such a large stadium.
“We implemented this technology after listening to our fans a few years ago and recognising that a significant issue in our current experience is the time it takes to get food and return to your seat,” Lipkey explained. “There are other places that use friction technology … but even in Seattle (Lumen Field), the Seahawks have more than 20 market experiences like this apart from regular discounts.

“So we’ll be the first to do it on such a large scale for an NFL venue, which is exciting and puts a little more pressure on us about how to get it right.”
The concessions and hospitality services at the new stadium will be managed by the Titans’ operational partner Soexo Live!A global hospitality company serving stadiums, arenas, convention centers, museums and other venues.
The new Titans stadium will have more local restaurants
Some venues will offer a local flair. The current stadium houses local restaurants such as Party Fowl, which features hot chicken, and Martin’s Bar-B-Q joints. There are plans to have more local facilities as part of the new stadium.

A link will be provided soon to the New Nissan Stadium, where local restaurant owners can notify Titans officials if they want to be part of the lineup.
Food and beverage markets give Titans Stadium a new look
About 12% of the total equipment installation has been installed in the new stadium so far, including cooking hoods and walk-in coolers.
As the market front is being built, Lipkey said, the look of the stadium from the inside is constantly changing.
“It’s kind of crazy; every time we go into the building, it looks dramatically different,” Lipkey said. “Starting at 100 levels (markets) are already built; they have some of the kitchen equipment already in the hood, like the end fryer. It’s really cool to see it come together.”
