Titans Stadium Construction timelapse

For the time-lapse showing the construction of the Tennessee Titans stadium (1997-1999) the Electric Picture Company crew decided to shoot with 16mm film and an intervalometer powered by a car battery. They built a weatherproof box for the shots inside the stadium to house the system components. One of the main drawbacks of a film system is that it meant periodically the exposed film had to be retrieved from the camera and new unexposed film loaded. I assisted in the film unloading/loading process that sometimes required us to be harnessed in because the camera was in a hard to reach location with construction going on all around. I did some of the editing work on the project as well.

Can't believe it's already getting replaced. Weird that stadiums built in the internet era with timelapse footage like this, which seems so modern still, are already aging out

[@TenPinTrucker]

Whats crazy is how the area around the stadium looks now in the 2020s compared to the late 90s

[@hektorlinko]

Always love football stadium construction.

[@marquezsmith8889]

My dad was an electrical engineer during this build... now I'm a fabrication engineer on the new stadium 😁

[@rotaryperfection]

That's awesome! Gonna be a sad day when they destroy the old one. 😞

[@rawhydemusic8620]

That's crazy about the Tornado hitting the stadium. Had no idea it did that back then... wow

[@davidjaerobins4180]

Looks like the Titans will need a new stadium w/retractable roof in the future. Not only it will be a great benefit for Titans but Nashville area, also.

And now they apparently need a new stadium the bills current stadium actually did what stadium are supposed to do and that’s the last 40 to 50 years before they need to get replaced when the bills current Highmark stadium closes after the 25/26 season it’ll be 53 years old when the Titans current stadium closes it’s only gonna be 28 years old

[@1951RKP]

I’m not a fan of NFL teams always wanting new stadiums when some colleges that have way more fans have stadiums over 100 years old that still do just fine. Also what o don’t understand is Nissan Stadium hold right at 70,000 and the new 2.2 billion dollar stadium will only seat 60,000. To my knowledge the Titans have sold out every home game since they move to Tennessee and now they’re telling 10,000 sorry about your luck to home and watch.

[@KahanuaniUnion]

As a football fan I agree because the astrodome had a roof so it doesn’t irritate the people inside the stadium in Houston also it’s a landmark and also saved people from hurricane Katrina in 2005
