The Titans didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, but Nashville will have a presence in Atlanta during the week of the National Football League’s championship game to promote the 2019 NFL draft.

Nashville draft organizers will send a team to the Super Bowl for the days leading up to the Feb. 3 game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The NFL draft will take place April 25-27 in Music City.

“Last week the NFL called and asked us if we’d like to have a booth,” said Butch Spyridon, president of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “They wanted to roll out some of the renderings and give us a presence down there.”

The group will co-sponsor a luncheon and spend three days working the booth in the Super Bowl media center to publicize the upcoming draft. Two to four people will be present to work the table each day.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to talk about Nashville and some of the things that are coming,” Spyridon said.

The trip will give draft organizers a chance to engage both media and fans. The media center is open 24 hours to media but will also be open to fans Wednesday through Friday from 3-8 p.m. The NFL expects about 20,000 fans to visit during those hours.

Spyridon will be there on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to speak to media about the 2019 NFL Draft. The booth will have a public relations person to provide information to media at other times and also a visitor service staff member on hand during times that the center is open to the public to assist fans interested in purchasing hotel packages for the draft and answer questions about visiting Nashville.

Super Bowl here someday?

Spyridon doesn’t try to hide the fact that he wants to see a Super Bowl in Nashville, but he said that no discussions with the league are scheduled in Atlanta and that it probably won’t happen soon.

“I think they can see the wanderlust in my eyes,” he said. “I think it’s going to come down to a stadium conversation.”

The Titans’ lease for Nissan Stadium expires in 2028. A study commissioned by Metro in 2017 concluded that the stadium will be in need of $293.2 million in capital improvements over the next 20 years.

Major event for city

In addition to the seven rounds of the NFL draft, the event will feature concerts and other fan experiences. Venues and other details have not yet been announced.

Organizers expect 250,000 visitors to attend over the course of the three-day event and are billing it as the largest sporting event in state history. It is expected to generate millions of dollars in income to city businesses.

ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network will televise the event live.
