The Tennessee Titans are an American football team based in Nashville, Tennessee, that is among the teams to shift over from the American Football League as part of the NFL-AFL merger. Formed in 1960, the franchise has gone through multiple changes in its relatively short history. While they initially formed as the Houston Oilers, the team shifted to Tennessee in 1997 (Tennessee Oilers) before rebranding into the Tennessee Titans in 1999. Over the years, the team’s home stadium has seen multiple changes. Their initial choice was the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis; low ticket sales forced a shift to the Vanderbilt Stadium. Then, as part of the rebrand, the team shifted to the Adelphia Coliseum, which would later be known as the Nissan Stadium.
In 2000, the Tennessee Titans lost to the St. Louis Rams 23-16 in Super Bowl XXXIV.
