Titans look to keep Bengals fans out of Nissan Stadium

The Tennessee Titans are openly doing everything they can to limit Cincinnati Bengals fans from entering the NFL Divisional Round game this Saturday, Jan. 22.

For the Titans, it will be only the second home playoff game in recent seasons and the idea of the team from the city of Nashville is that it will be a unique party at Nissan Stadium with almost all fans dressed in blue.

Time limit for ticket transfers

Brooke Ellenberger, Vice President of Ticketing for the Titans explained a new policy in which when a ticket is purchased for the game through the Tennessee team or through the NFL site it cannot be transferred to another person until 24 hours before kickoff.

"We want Nissan Stadium to be two tone blue. And so by limiting this transfer window, it also limits the number of visiting team fans that we'll have in the stadium," Ellenberger said.

This means that until 3:30 p.m. (Nashville time) on Friday, tickets can be transferred, the hope being that, with so little time, Bengals fans will have no way to plan a weekend trip.

"By limiting that transfer time would limit some of the resale and some of that transfer activity that would happen in advance," said Ellenberger.

Titans fans not most active

Titans fans aren't usually the most participative, nor are they in the habit of filling their stadium with their own fans, so this will be a difficult task.

"Every game we are just inundated with so many other fans and I think Nashville is a big draw but we really need the Titans fans to be loud and be proud and we should be," said Terri Hood, a Titans season ticket holder for the last ten years in an interview with the New Channel 5 in Nashville.

Perhaps more than these policies, what will do the Titans the most good is the return of running back Derrick Henry.
