The fireworks began at 10 pm and was over 30 minutes long with two finales. Visit Music City shared some interesting facts about what is known as one of the largest shows in the country.
The largest shells in the show were American 10-inch shells. These shells are larger than a basketball and weigh about 20 pounds. They travel 800 to 1,000 feet in the air and break with a diameter of almost 1,000 feet.
There were more than 1,000 floating flares and special ghost shells as part of the show.
20 technicians from Pyro Shows set up the show over the course of 11 days.
40,000 pounds of explosives and 200 miles of wire were used.
16 flatbed trailers mounted with fireworks were staged outside Nissan Stadium.
40,000 pounds of sand were used to bury the largest shells.
There were eight pyrotechnicians in a steal bunker located in the middle of the show firing the shells to synchronize with the Nashville Symphony performance.
