The Tennessee Titans are building a new stadium that is set to open in less than two years, but construction on the site has been halted for now after a troubling find.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department on Friday, via ESPN's Turron Davenport, a noose was found at the construction site this week.
Construction of the new venue has been stopped and an investigation is now underway. It doesn't appear there are any suspects at this time.
"This week, a racist and hateful symbol was discovered on our site. There is no place for hate or racism in our workplace," the Tennessee Builders Alliance said.
"We reported the incident to law enforcement, suspended work, and launched an investigation."
The Tennessee Builders Alliance said there is currently a reward being offered for any information that helps find who is responsible. It has vowed to offer more anti-bias training for its workers, also.
Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell called the discovery "very concerning" and noted that the Titans are cooperating with local law enforcement in the investigation.
The New Nissan Stadium, which has been under construction since 2024 and carries a price tag of about $2.1 billion, is expected to open in February 2027. Public funding is covering $1.26 billion of the aforementioned price tag.
