The Stadium | Ep 1: Dear Bud
-

In the summer of 1995, two storms are building.
One over Houston, where an aging oil man named Bud Adams was watching the league he helped invent leave him behind.
One over Nashville, where a mayor was quietly trying to rebuild a city's civic furniture, piece by piece.
This is the story of how those two storms met in a Chicago conference room — and how a single phrase, buried on page two of a letter that opened "Dear Bud," programmed Nashville's most valuable riverfront land for the next twenty-five years before most Nashvillians knew negotiations were even underway.
Loophole City | The Stadium that Changed a City — three episodes on the deal that shaped Nashville's East Bank, the operating system the modern NFL still runs on, and the difference between a city arriving and a city worth living in once you get there.
Episode 1: Dear Bud.
