NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A noose was found at the site of the Tennessee Titans' new Nissan Stadium, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, who said Friday that they are investigating the incident.
The Tennessee Builders Alliance, which is leading the stadium construction, said work at the site had been halted amid the investigation.
"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 in a statement. "We reported the incident to law enforcement, suspended work, and launched an investigation."
The group added that a reward has been offered for "information leading to the identification of the individual responsible" and that additional anti-bias training will be required for all workers.
The new stadium is projected to open in February 2027. Construction on the 60,000-seat facility began in 2024 and is projected to cost $2.1 billion, with public funding contributing $1.26 billion. The public funding is the largest public subsidy for a stadium in the United States.
Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell expressed his concern over the incident and noted the city's efforts to focus on workplace safety.
"Obviously, this is an environment where we want to try as hard as we can to prevent scenarios that might be fear or hate-based," O'Connell said in a statement. "We've taken some steps, both with local policies, state policy, and partnership with them to try, again, to keep temperatures low and prevent hate incidents like this. It is very concerning, there is an open investigation. I know the Titans are cooperating with Metro Nashville Police and we'll see what that investigation turns up."
Looks like there's still a lot of Klan in the South..-greenman
Was there anything else to indicate that it was targeting minorities on the job?
Without knowing ANYTHING about the job site, the workers, or where it was specifically found, if it was some lame gag or targeted hate, I just don't know what to make of this.
At the same time, a noose is a powerful symbol of historical racism. That concerns me.
Doesn't make any sense, but neither does Trump's Amerika.-greenman
A few years ago they hung chairs and had nooses for Obama.

An occasional Obama dummy was seen swinging by the neck until dead. Remember that?You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
There were many other things too. And he never gave it the time day.
Now a mention or question of anything to the controlled narrative???
I know many of you understand this. One thing I have noticed in my lifetime. It happens every 'regime' change. News Media changes within weeks of a new president. It has definitely been more drastic since internet access and social media.
