TN does not use eminent domain as strongly as KS or MO as well. Also, the TN Tits are looking at wanting / needing a new stadium, and Nashville recently built a new stadium for the minor league baseball team so another new stadium may be fiscally unviable.
Finally, there's limited locations that Nashville metro can leverage for a new stadium. The Nashville metro infrastructure is already buckling, a new baseball and potential new football stadiums would break city infrastructure.

Nashville has already grown beyond what it was reasonably designed for. The traffic in that area is a catastrophe. If you put a stadium in 'Nashville' you'd have to put it 30 minutes out of town.
In which case, why bother?
They're not moving to Nashville. As you've noted, the actual residents of Nasvhille already think its grown beyond capacity - they're not looking for more. They won't vote to approve it.
