BAPTIST SPORTS PARK

On May 15, 1998, Titans ownerK.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr., selected a31-acre site at the MetroCentercomplex in Nashville as the team’spermanent practice location. Sincethat time, a beautiful multi-milliondollar facility has been built byNashville-based Powell BuildingGroup on the property, located justnorth of downtown Nashville aboutfive miles from LP Field.

The team moved into the facilityon Aug. 26, 1999, the day aftertraining camp completed and theday before the first preseason gameat LP Field. The 80,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art building con-tains lockers, weight rooms, meet-ing rooms and offices for coaches,players and administrative staff. Thebuilding also features an auditoriumwith seating for 125 people, as wellas other meeting rooms.

Designed to exceed the stan-dards of all previous training andpractice facilities, the weight train-ing center and rehabilitation treat-ment facility sets the model for allprofessional sports. The facility boasts three outdoor practice fields with natural grass,plus an enclosed field with Field Turf. Logistically, each field is identical to the gamefield at LP Field, from the 100-yard length, to the geographic orientation. The longitudi-nal center of each field is 24 degrees west of north, just like the field at LP Field, enablingthe Titans to practice in the same slanting sunlight they face on Sundays.

The site, selected from more than 60 sites reviewed, was purchased from MetroCenterproperties. The facility occupies a peninsula that joins into the lake across from theFountain Square commercial development. Among the leading builders in MiddleTennessee, Powell was chosen for its state-of-the-art construction planning and buildingtechniques.

Titans, LP Build Habitat For Humanity Home for Local Family

The dream for Sarieda Evans and herfour children (ages 5 to 17) was to one dayown a home for her family. Little did sheknow that with the help of the TennesseeTitans, LP Building Products and Habitatfor Humanity, herdream would becomereality. For the sec-ond straight season,the Titans and LPcontributed $100 foreach point scoredduring the 2007 sea-son towards thesponsorship of ahome for a hard-working, low-incomeNashville family.

“If it wasn’t for LP,the Titans andNashville AreaHabitat, I wouldn’thave been able topurchase a home forme and my childrenand participate in the Habitat HOME-WORKS program,” said Evans. “I havelearned a lot and very much appreciate allthey have done.”

Each Saturday and Sunday during themonth of March, Titans staff members andcheerleaders teamed up with Habitat, LPand the Evans family to literally build thehouse from the ground up.

“One of the first initiatives we had in ourpartnerships with LP was to work veryclosely with Habitat for Humanity in

Nashville,” said Don MacLachlan, TitansEVP of Administration and Facilities.“Often, the Titans are graded on the fieldby wins and losses, but when a family cansleep in their own home for the first time,

it’s truly the highlightof our season.”

Since the Titansmoved to Nashville,they have assisted inthe sponsoring andbuilding of fivehouses, helping theless fortunate reachheights they thoughtwere unattainable.

“Sarieda Evans andher children are thefifth Habitat partnerfamily to be blessedby the TennesseeTitans,” said ChrisMcCarthy, CEO ofthe Nashville AreaHabitat for

Humanity. “In 1999 they began workingwith us, and have helped five well-deserv-ing families achieve the American dreamof homeownership. With sponsors andhard-working volunteers like the Titansand LP, we can continue to break the cycleof poverty in Nashville by helping low-income families who cannot qualify for aconventional mortgage, purchase theirown home. The Titans are truly making adifference to Nashville families on and offthe field.”

The Titans teamed up with Habitat for Humanityand LP to build a new home in Nashville forSarieda Evans and her family.

Titans, LP Also Team up to Benefit Pencil Foundation

The Tennessee Titans continue to partnerwith LP PENCIL Box for school supplydrives benefiting economically disadvan-taged Metro Nashville students.

LP PENCIL Box, a collaborative venturebetween PENCIL Foundation and LPBuilding Products, offers Metro teachersthe opportunity to shop free for classroomschool supplies, benefiting Nashville’smost needy school children. In its two-yearhistory, nearly $240,000 in supplies havebeen distributed to students who some-times go to school without basic schoolsupplies that teachers spend their ownmoney to compensate. Titans fans donate school supplies at LP Field.

TITANS IN THE COMMUNITY

The Tennessee Titans concluded anothersuccessful Titans Caravan in 2008, the firstof many events in a year-long celebrationof the organization’s 10th season as theTitans. Titans Caravan 2008 made a totalof 50 stops over a span of 11 days as play-ers visited with fans throughout Tennessee,Kentucky and Alabama.

In commemoration of 10 years as theTitans, players from the 1999 AFCChampionship team took part in many ofthe Caravan stops, including tight endFrank Wycheck, wide receiver KevinDyson, wide receiver Chris Sanders, quar-terback Neil O’Donnell, kicker Al DelGreco and guard Benji Olson.

In 1999, the team moved into LP Fieldand changed its name to the TennesseeTitans. The season ended with an improb-able run to Super Bowl XXXIV.

“There’s no more fitting way to launchour 10th anniversary celebration as theTitans than to spend time on TitansCaravan thanking the best fans in the NFLfor their incredible support during the pastdecade,” said Titans Owner and FounderK.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. “The Caravan hasbeen one of our most important endeavorseach offseason. It has personally intro-duced our most outstanding players to oneof the most passionate fan bases in foot-ball. We enjoyed taking time this year torecognize some of those players from thepast in addition to letting the fans meet ourstars of today and the future.”

Over the last decade, Titans Caravan hasmade 580 stops, traveled approximately50,000 miles, visited nearly 225 schoolsand met with over 100,000 fans. The num-ber of autographs signed and picturestaken is estimated to be in the hundreds ofthousands.

This year’s school program was per-formed 16 times before an estimated14,000 children. Many school systemsbrought together students from multiple

locations to hear the team’s important“Play 60” message encouraging childrento stay healthy by getting at least 60 min-utes of active play each day.

Titans Caravan began in 1998 as a smalleffort to spread goodwill through theregion. The most recent Caravan includedsix full-time staffers that traveled withTitans players, broadcasters, T-Rac andcheerleaders throughout the Mid-South ona specially-decorated motor coach fromPremiere Transportation.

Public Caravan stops gave fans thechance to meet and greet the team person-nel. Each public event provided fans anopportunity to collect autographs and takepictures with the Titans, while the teamreceived an opportunity to thank its fans.

The Titans wrapped up their 2008Caravan tour with a heart-felt trip to FortCampbell, Ky., home of the U.S. Army’s101st Airborne Division, visiting with sol-diers and families of those currently serv-ing the United States overseas.

Fort Campbell, located on theKentucky/Tennesseeborder betweenHopkinsville, Ky.and Clarksville,Tenn., supports thethird-largest militarypopulation in theArmy and the sev-enth-largest in theDepartment ofDefense.

Linebacker DavidThornton, fullbackCasey Cramer, cor-nerback ReynaldoHill, and safetiesChris Hope, VincentFuller and Calvin Lowry joined “Voice ofthe Titans” Mike Keith, Titans mascot T-Rac, and Titans Cheerleaders Brooke andTandra for an entire day on the base, offer-ing words of encouragement and friendlysmiles that seemed to lift the morale ofthose around them.

“Most of the units here are deployed, sothe families are lone-ly and depressedmissing their lovedones,” said StaffSergeant SamanthaWood. “When stufflike this comes toFort Campbell, ithelps raise themorale of not onlythe family members,but the soldiers them-selves because theirfamily calls them andsays, ‘Guess who Isaw today?’ There’sbeen a buzz around here ever since weheard the Titans were coming.”

The Titans began their day at theBlanchfield Army Community Hospital,where they spent time with soldiers receiv-ing occupational and physical therapyfrom injuries sustained in battle. The sol-diers, known as “Warriors in Transition,”need up to six months or more of medical

care. “On a small scale, I kind of understand,

but I’m playing a game. They’re playing toprotect our lives,” said Hope, who spentcountless hours rehabbing from a spinalcord injury last season. “You’re talkingabout a game that we play. It’s entertain-

ment. These guys arereally sacrificingtheir lives, putting iton the line every dayfor our freedom. It’sjust a blessing to beamong them.”

After interactingwith troops duringlunch at the 4thBrigade dining facil-ity, the Titans visitedwith players from theFort Campbell HighSchool footballteam, which cap-tured the Kentucky

2A State Championship with a victoryover Newport Central Catholic last season.

Titans players later tested their skillsshooting a variety of simulated guns at theEngagement Skills Trainer MarksmanshipFacility. The facility is used to teach sol-diers the proper safety techniques andskills needed to fire all weapon types,

ranging from M16rifles to MK1940mm grenademachine guns, onsimulated targetranges.

Afterwards, play-ers wrapped up theday at the Army andAirforce ExchangeService, also knownas the PX. The160,000 square footfacility is the largestmilitary PX in theworld. Fans lined up

across the store eagerly waited the arrivalof the Titans, who were humbled by theturnout.

“The trip to Fort Campbell is one of thetrips we look forward to the most duringTitans Caravan so we can meet the soldiersand say thank you for everything they dofor us,” said Fuller.

Titans players pose with soldiers during theirannual trip to Fort Campbell last April.

TITANS IN THE COMMUNITY

For the second consecutive year, veteranlinebacker Keith Bulluck was named theTitans Walter Payton Man of the YearAward winner. Bulluck was selected by amajority vote from his teammates, Titansstaff, members of the news media andlocal non-profit and community execu-tives for his dedicated community service. This prestigious NFL award has been inexistence since 1970 and is the only NFLaward that honors players who demon-strate outstanding balance in their livesbetween civic and professional responsi-bilities.

In one of the closest votes ever, Bulluckwas selected from a group of finalists thatincluded Cortland Finnegan, BenHartsock, Chris Hope, Travis LaBoy,Kevin Mawae, David Thornton and VinceYoung. The finalists were named “Titans2007 Community All-Stars” for their sig-nificant community service contributions.

In the spring of 2003, Bulluck founded

The Keith Bulluck Believe & AchieveFoundation to benefit children in the fostercare system. As a former foster child him-self, Bulluck has overcome many obstaclesin his life to become a hero in the eyes ofchildren as well as adults. His purpose inestablishing his foundation is to “level theplaying field” for children in foster care bygiving them the same privileges andopportunities as those in more fortunatecircumstances.

Titans Owner K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr.and his wife, Nancy, announced a$500,000 grant from the Titans Foundationto the Baptist Hospital Foundation. Thegrant, the largest by the Titans Foundationsince it was formed in 1999, is designatedfor the Baptist Hospital obstetrics expan-sion project.

“We consider ourorganization’s partner-ship to be among ourmost important,”Adams said of theTitans’ relationshipwith Baptist Hospital.“Our close associationwith Baptist includesnot only the name ofour training and admin-istration facility(Baptist Sports Park),but more importantly, our players’ healthcare, which is of huge importance to ourbusiness and operations.”

“Our players and staff visit patients atBaptist Hospital on Tuesdays throughoutthe season and have done so since ourmove to Tennessee,” Adams continued.“In addition to the great care our players

receive, many of our players, coaches andstaff have had their babies delivered atBaptist Hospital!”

Baptist Hospital is considered theleader in childbirth services in this regiondelivering more than 7,000 babies lastyear. This has brought on the necessity of

an expansion withsignificant enhance-ments focusing oncaring for the entirefamily.

“The gift from Bud& Nancy Adams willname the third floorObstetrics FamilyWaiting Area and willnow be known as the

Bud & Nancy Adamsand Tennessee TitansFamily Waiting Area,”

said Bernie Sherry, President and CEO ofBaptist Hospital. “This area plays a spe-cial part in the childbirth experience forthe families and friends of the 7,000 babiesborn each year at Baptist Hospital, provid-ing a comfortable setting in which toeagerly await a new baby's birth.”

K.S. "Bud" Adams, Jr. and his wife, Nancy,have been longtime supporters ofNashville's Baptist Hospital.
