What's going on with the new Titans stadium?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's been eight months since ground was broken on the new Titans stadium and great progress has been made. A construction live camera can be found here.

According to team officials, foundations are currently being laid on the south and north sides of the stadium.

The event level is almost completely poured and teams are now starting to build the 200-level hall. The outline of the seat shell also takes shape from day to day. Construction on it will begin next year and parts will arrive from Atlanta in February.

To get to this point, teams had to dig a lot. 400,000 cubic meters of earth came out of the parking lots on the east side. To create the footprint, nearly 800 pillars were drilled into the ground to support the superstructure.

Work is also underway on the underground plumbing and electrical infrastructure that will power the entire building.

In addition, teams are implementing a cistern system that collects rainwater from the building's roof and reuses it for irrigation, flushing plumbing fixtures and refilling HVAC systems.

As Channel 5 turns 70, we remember the 1960s RnB showcase Night Train

When I was younger, people of my generation spent part of their weekends watching music shows like American Bandstand and Soul Train. This was before the age of music videos. A few years before Soul Train was syndicated out of Chicago, another syndicated R&B show was taped in Nashville on NewsChannel 5. Night Train aired in the '60s and featured what may have been the first TV appearance of legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Forrest Sanders looks back at the station's history.
