At least nine cuisines and locally inspired flavors await Tennessee Titans fans among concessions at Nissan Stadium. The Titans intentionally incorporate small businesses as food options to support the Nashville community and expand access to quality dining options.
“We aim to offer our fans a true Nashville experience when they step inside Nissan Stadium," says Savanna Howie, Tennessee Titans public relations and corporate communications manager. "From the hallmark hospitality and friendship our city offers to dining at locally owned and operated businesses, we continue to be intentional in creating an authentic fan experience.”
“Giving back to the community is always a top priority for our organization, and our concessions business is no exception. Nissan Stadium welcomes volunteers from local nonprofit organizations at every regular season home game to assist in staffing a variety of our food vendor locations. Volunteering organizations receive a portion of the sales made that day. In 2022, the proceeds for participating nonprofits exceeded $474,000. Those funds can make a big difference for many of these organizations," Savanna adds.
Nashville is home to many barbecue enthusiasts, most namely perhaps, Pat Martin of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint. Martin’s opened in 2006 in Nolensville, Tennessee, and quickly became a Nashville favorite.
Guests at Nissan Stadium can look forward to smoked Wings, BBQ Nachos, and Martin’s Homemade BBQ Chips with Ranch Dip. Quarterbacking the Martin’s menu is its signature Pulled Pork Sandwich. The restaurant actually smokes all of its meat overnight on location at Nissan Stadium in a rig parked in the middle of North End Zone. Due to the 24-hour period needed to smoke great barbecue, Martin’s has limited quantities for each game.
Gourmet hot dogs are a perfect companion for a fall football game. Fans can check out local business, Daddy’s Dogs. From a classic chili dog to a Mac Daddy dog topped with mac and cheese, sauerkraut and tons of cheddar, these treats take a ballpark classic to a new level.
For game-changing pizza, fans can stop by Silm & Husky’s. Started by Tennessee State University alumni and childhood friends, EJ Reed, Clint Gray and Derrick Moore, Slim & Husky’s has taken the pizza world by storm with unique pies and mouthwatering ‘drizzles.’ The local favorite also recently opened Nashville’s first-ever black-owned restaurant in the Broadway district.
Hot chicken has become as synonymous with Nashville as country music icons, and fans looking for some extra bite can visit locally owned and operated business, Party Fowl. Their signature hot chicken tenders and bourbon-glazed beignets anchor the menu for gamedays and events alike.

Its handcrafted, premium wine array provides members the opportunity to receive three or six premium Napa Valley wine bottles twice a year, along with other special benefits.

The Foolish Club wines are released in two 3-bottle or 6-bottle shipments each year based on the club level selected. Costs range based on individual selections. The cost of a bottle spans $29 to $75, plus tax and shipping.
Each club shipment for 3-bottle members arrives in a cardboard shipper that can be upgraded to a fire-branded, vintage Tennessee Titans keepsake wooden crate for a discounted price of $25. All club shipments for 6-bottle members arrive in a wooden crate at no additional cost. A portion of the purchases go to the Titans Foundation for community improvements.
