POV on funding, etc.

The original funding alluded to was a large fund balance in the enterprise fund of the Metro Water Department, not a "water tax". Property taxes in Nashville are definitely higher than before the stadium was built (as they are in most U.S. jurisdictions) but have not gone up anything like 300% on a blanket basis, although due to both rate increases and upward reappriasals it is certainly possible that they have gone up this much & even more on individual parcels (perhaps even one belonging to this editor?), and certainly the stadium has not been a primary cause for the increases. This should be deleted unless the editor adding it or another person can come up with valid sources for why this should be part of the article.

Capacity

Both the official LP Field website[1] and official Titans website[2] both list the stadium at 68,798. This article currently lists 69,143. Where does this number come from? --Blackbox77 (talk) 02:35, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Tenants

Bowl games are typically included in the tenant list because bowl games have organizations behind them who often have offices in the stadium. The Rose Bowl (stadium) and the Rose Bowl Game are the best example of that as the stadium is actually owned by the organization that runs the game. In other cases, the game may be organized by the stadium management and/or the main tenant of the stadium. While not all bowl games fit that, there are enough to make that the precedent for stadium articles in including them as tenants. Events like the CMA Music Festival, even if it's every year, are still events, not tenants, similar to conference tournaments and championship games, which also typically have long-term agreements to host the event for several consecutive years. CMA isn't headquartered in Nissan Stadium, they simply rent out the stadium for their event similar to the Southeastern Conference regularly using the Georgia Dome for their championship game or the Mid-American Conference using Quicken Loans Arena for their basketball tournaments. Further, Nissan Stadium is one venue of the event (the largest concert venue of multiple stages), so placing it in the tenant list is misleading. --JonRidinger (talk) 19:26, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Zpb52 (talk · contribs), again, I'm going by precedent at other stadium articles and that has been fairly consistent that major events like concerts, championship games, WWE events, and tournaments aren't included in the tenant list mostly because it opens the door to the infobox having exceptionally long and unwieldy lists. I have no problem removing the bowl listing from the infobox since the Music City Bowl website confirms that the bowl organization is not headquartered at the stadium, but like I said, the precedent at every other stadium article for a stadium that hosts/has hosted a bowl game is to include it in the tenant list, not only for the potential headquarters at a given stadium, but also the general association with the stadium. I posted a request for additional comments at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Event Venues#Tenants and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football#Tenants to hopefully get a clearer consensus. --JonRidinger (talk) 15:07, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I see that this conversation is old, but since people will continue to read it I would like to clarify something. To Zpb52 (talk · contribs) and others who follow his or her logic on how to edit on Wikipedia, you should know that writing or editing articles in Wikipedia based on some type of precedent you have seen in other articles is a bad way to contribute. Many articles, even if published by a reputable source, do not adhere to the strict standards of an encyclopedia, so please do not add to our massive and overwhelming backlog of correcting articles by using other articles as your guide. While it is clear the author's intention was genuine in his or her attempt to get it right, instead of using other articles as your guide, simply take the information your source provides and paraphrase it, then include a proper citation. I hope this helps any potential authors or editors who are earnest in their desire to contribute but are untrained in how to proceed. Ask for help if you are unsure. I am always available to assist. This has been my professional life for more than 35 years and I love to help. God bless and happy editing! MarydaleEd (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

This Article is Suffering From a Lack of Credibility

This article is not a bad start, but it lacks credibility because of a lack of proper sourcing. The problem is when people are convinced that what they think to be truth about a subject is sufficient for adding that information to an article. Authors or editors can never be sources. There is no such thing as common knowledge when adding information to an article. This article is struggling under the weight of statements that have no sources. It is never enough that you think you know something to be true. When you do that, you add to the overwhelming backlog of editing that is required for veteran editors to have to come behind you and bring the articles into Wikipedia standard. Doing so for even one article is intensely time consuming. There are so many articles in Wikipedia that are suffering from the lack of proper citations that it is impossible that we will ever bring all Wikipedia articles up to encyclopedia standards. It is the reason why Wikipedia is considered an unreliable source for information and is not allowed to be used by students and is the source of ridicule of professionals who cite it. Always use this rule of thumb: if you cannot source it, don't write it. I will do my best to bring this article into proper standard. Even for a short article like this one, it is a large undertaking. Time permitting, I am going to try to go through the article from top to bottom and attempt to locate sources for the comments that are within it. If I can find no source, I will remove the comment regardless of how important people interested in this article think the information is. If people disagree with deletions I make because of a lack of sources, I welcome them - I beg them - to find proper sources so the information can be returned to the article. I have no personal connection to this article. It is simply the next article that came up in my account that needs assistance. My interest in this article is only that it is brought into proper Wikipedia standard. I encourage those with a personal connection to keep their fingers out of this article unless they can provide proper sourcing. I find that people who have some type of emotional connection with an article usually cause more difficulties than they provide assistance. One last thing - that table listing concerts at Nissan Stadium is ridiculous. I will consider it and determine if I think it has a place in this article. Wikipedia's policy dictates that it serves to be an overview, a summary of the subjects within the articles and not an all-encompassing accounting. Just because we have additional information does not mean it needs to be included. If the information within that awful table is important to the article, perhaps presenting it in a different manner will make it more digestible. God bless and happy editing!
