Nashville – An investigation is underway after a noose was discovered at the construction site of the new Nissan Stadium, which will serve as the home for the Tennessee Titans. The presence of this racially charged symbol has prompted immediate action from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, which is exploring the circumstances surrounding this incident.
The Tennessee Builders Alliance, the organization overseeing the stadium’s construction, has put a temporary halt on all work at the site following the discovery. This decision reflects a strong stance against hate and racism in the workplace, as the Builders Alliance publicly condemned the noose as a “racist and hateful symbol.” In addition to alerting law enforcement, the group has initiated its own internal investigation into the matter.
To encourage community involvement in identifying the individual responsible, a reward of $250,000 has been offered. Furthermore, additional anti-bias training will be mandated for all workers on-site to foster a safer and more inclusive workplace environment.
Nashville’s Mayor, Freddie O’Connell, expressed concern regarding the incident and highlighted the city’s commitment to ensuring safety and respect within the workplace. The city is actively working to develop local and state policies intended to prevent incidents driven by fear or hate.
The construction of the $2.1 billion Nissan Stadium began in 2024 and is expected to be completed by February 2027. Once finished, the stadium will have a seating capacity of 60,000 and represents a significant financial commitment, with public funding totaling $1.26 billion, marking the largest public subsidy for a stadium in U.S. history.
In light of the noose’s discovery, all construction workers were ordered to leave the site, and there will be no resumption of work until a comprehensive standdown addressing issues of inclusion and respect has been conducted. Both the Metro Nashville Police and the Tennessee Titans are cooperating during the ongoing investigation, as the situation continues to unfold.
At this time, the specific circumstances that led to the noose being found at the construction site remain unclear. Authorities are determined to uncover the facts surrounding this troubling event and ensure safety for all workers involved in this major construction project.
