Featuring instruments and backline supplied by Guitar Center, the stage will serve as a focal point of the fan experience, hosting live music throughout game days and special stadium events.<\/p>\n The partnership also spotlights Guitar Center Business Solutions, the company\u2019s professional integration platform and its premium AV division, Audio Visual Design Group (AVDG). As the named audio-visual integrator for key areas of the Titans\u2019 new Nissan Stadium, AVDG will lead the venue\u2019s end-to-end AV delivery, from system design and engineering through installation, commissioning, and long-term optimization, including designing the sound system in the green room. Alongside Custom House, the Business Solutions team will deliver a world-class performance and presentation environment that elevates every game day, concert, and special event.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing selected as the AV integrator for the Titans\u2019 new Nissan Stadium is a defining moment for AVDG and Guitar Center Business Solutions,\u201d said Curtis Heath, President, Guitar Center Business Solutions. \u201cThis project reflects our ability to design and deliver a world-class AV foundation that supports live performance, large-scale events, and the demands of a modern stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMusic is at the heart of who we are as a city and Guitar Center\u2019s expertise and innovation will help us to take our game day experience to the next level, creating a home field advantage that is uniquely Nashville,\u201d said Tennessee Titans Senior Vice President Adam Nuse. \u201cGuitar Center knows music is a unifying force, whether that\u2019s at a concert, on a game day or in the community and we are proud to welcome them as partners of both the Tennessee Titans and new Nissan Stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond the stadium, the partnership will extend into the Nashville community through new music-focused initiatives supported by the Guitar Center Music Foundation.
