Nashville police said a rope was found at the construction site of the new Tennessee Titans stadium, according to ESPN.
The stadium is scheduled to open for the 2027 season, but the work for an investigation has been arrested.
“This week, a racist and hateful symbol was discovered on our site. There is no place for hatred or racism in our workplace,” said the Tennessee builders alliance, which leads the construction. “We report the incident to the police, the suspended work and launch an investigation.”

“Obviously, this is an environment in which we want to try as hard as possible to prevent scenarios that may be based on fear or hate,” said Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell, in a statement. “We have taken some measures, both with local policies, state policies and association with them to try, again, keep temperatures low and avoid hate incidents like this.
“It is very worrying. There is an open investigation. I know that the Titans are cooperating with the Metro Nashville police, and we will see what that investigation appears.”

The stadium will accommodate 60,000 people and cost an estimated $ 2 billion. More than half of that amount is public funds, the largest stadium subsidy in the history of the United States.
The Tennessee builders alliance also said that a reward for “information that leads to the identification of the individual person” has been made available, and all workers must take training against bias.
The stadium will have a roof, unlike the current Nissan stadium. The land broke for the stadium in February 2024, and the Tigres of the State of Tennessee will also play there. “New Nissan Stadium” will also be the host of Music City Bowl annually.
The place is being built next to the current stadium, which will be demolished.
