A lingering lawsuit casts a shadow over the new 30,000-seat Nashville SC stadium. It is hoped the team will the stadium sometime during the 2022 MLS season, but those hopes have been cast into doubt with the recent legal uncertainties.
The embattled new stadium for Nashville SC had survived a lawsuit from the Tennessee State Fair Association. Mayor John Cooper met with all parties involved and expressed issues regarding further delayed construction. The stadium project was delayed but by February 13 it had leaped all those hurdles and was back on track.
Then, before the coronavirus pandemic and related restrictions started wrecking sports and other public events, demolition directors at the Nashville fairgrounds site for the stadium found asbestos.
