The once-threatened Nashville SC deal for a 30,000-seat stadium looked rescued for a day. Initially, new Mayor John Cooper took office in 2019, reviewed the city’s total project obligations, and said they weren’t right.
But on February 13, Cooper reviewed the new terms and gave the project a go-ahead. After fretting that the new stadium would not be allowed, it seemed as though Nashville would be getting a home.
However, following Cooper’s reversal, citizens group Save Our Fairgrounds say they found other things wrong and filed an injunction the next day.
