The Tennessee Titans play their home games at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The team was called the Oilers and based in Houston from 1960 to 1996. The Oilers played one season in Memphis and one in Nashville at Vanderbilt University’s football stadium before their home stadium was completed prior to the 1999 season. The team was then rechristened the Tennessee Titans, a name derived from Nashville’s sobriquet of “the Athens of the South.”
