Titans Set To Announce Big Attendance News (UPDATE)

The Tennessee Titans will announce today that, starting in October, fans will be allowed to attend games at Nissan Stadium, according to Outkick founder Clay Travis. Under this plan, the first game to allow fans would be an October 4 game against the Steelers. It's unclear at this time how many fans will be allowed to attend the October 4 game.

Attendance plans are also in place on Rocky Top where the Vols will allow approximately 25,000 fans to attend games when the SEC season starts. This Saturday night, Bristol Motor Speedway will have 30,000 fans in attendance for the Bass Pro Shops NRA night race. In Memphis, Tigers games will also allow fans in the stands.

Mayor John Cooper is expected to make the Titans attendance news during a Thursday press conference.

Oct. 4 vs. Steelers: approximately 7,000

Oct. 11 vs. Bills: approximately 8,600
