Gov. Bill Lee has submitted a letter of interest to the NFL to bring the Super Bowl to Nashville in 2029. The morning after the big game, producer Daniel Sumstine is chatting with David Boclair, a longtime sports writer and digital producer at the Nashville Banner, about what it would actually take to make that happen, from infrastructure and emergency preparedness to economic impact and who really benefits. With recent extreme weather, transit challenges, and major public investments on the line, we ask the big question: Is Nashville ready for a Super Bowl?
