After failing to receive support, the Oilers began looking to relocate, this time to Nashville. After the season, the Oilers moved from Houston to Tennessee. The only problem was Nashville did not have a stadium ready for the team.
While the stadium was built, the Oilers played at the Liberty Bowl and Vanderbilt Stadium for two seasons. After playing at temporary collegiate stadiums, the team finally moved to their new stadium in and were renamed the Tennessee Titans.
The stadium opened in and was named Adelphia Coliseum at the time. The city-owned stadium also is the home field for Tennessee State football and the Music City Bowl as well as many concerts and other events, including the annual Country Music Association Music Festival.

The stadium received upgrades during the summer of Among the improvements are a new sound system, high-speed elevators to the upper levels, and LED ribbon boards mounted on the faces of the upper mezzanines. Two new high-definition ANC brand LED video displays measuring feet by 54 feet were installed, replacing the entire end zone scoreboard apparatuses.
At the time of installation, the two boards became the second-largest displays in the National Football League trailing only Cowboys Stadium. During its construction, the stadium had no official name, though it was generally referred to as "The East Bank Stadium", a reference to the stadium's location on the eastern bank of the Cumberland River.
However, after Adelphia missed a required payment and subsequently filed for bankruptcy in , the agreement was abandoned and the stadium became known simply as "The Coliseum" for four years.
Adelphia itself was dissolved in A naming rights deal with Nashville-based Louisiana-Pacific was inked on June 6, The concession stands and restrooms in these two areas were decorated to look like suburban homes using LP products. On June 24, , car manufacturer Nissan, which has its North American headquarters just south of Nashville in Franklin and operates a large manufacturing plant in nearby Smyrna, bought the naming rights for the stadium in a year contract, rebranding the stadium as Nissan Stadium.
The Titans have posted an impressive record at LP Field since moving there in , including winning their first 16 games before losing to the Baltimore Ravens on November 12, Overall, the Titans are 45—27 in the regular season and 2—2 in playoff games at LP Field.

The "Music City Miracle", as it has come to be known, was a last-minute trick play on a kickoff return that resulted in a touchdown and catapulted the Titans past the Buffalo Bills to the Divisional Playoffs.
