This says it was water backup from the storm drains rather than leakage from ground level: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5160478

Here's a big map showing the flooded area: http://www.tennessean.com/assets/gif/DN15736059.GIF

The arena was actually about a block away from direct flooding. The stadium was harder hit. The field and everything at field level were under about six feet of water.



Even still, the Titans played their full home schedule, with their first preseason game three months after the flood.
