The Titans, which saw their value rise $900 million since the deal was sealed, as well as the NFL will contribute $840 million to the project. The team expects $350 million of its contributions by selling personal seat licenses, a flat one-time fee ticketholders pay to have the right to buy season tickets.
Titan owners Amy Adams Strunk and the Strunk family will contribute less than $200 million, or less than 10 percent of the total price of the project.
