<p>Construction work at the new Nissan Stadium was stopped after a rope tied like a noose was discovered at the site on July 17, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.</p>
<p>Police said on July 18 that they are investigating the incident, though it is unclear if the rope was designed to be a noose. According to The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, representatives of the Nashville Mayor's Office said all workers were sent home after the rope was found.</p>
<p>"We are aware and specialized investigation detectives are investigating," Nashville Police Department spokesperson Kristin Mumford told The Tennessean.</p>
<p>Nashville mayor Freddie O'Connell said on July 18 that the city has spent a lot of energy on workplace safety, aiming to prevent situations like this.</p>
<p>"It is very concerning," O'Connell said. "There is an open investigation – I know the Titans are cooperating with our Metro Nashville police. We'll see what that investigation turns up."</p>
<p>The Tennessee Builders Alliance, the group leading the construction, told ESPN's Turron Davenport in a statement that they halted work and launched an investigation.</p>
<p>"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 to ESPN. "We reported the incident to law enforcement, suspended work and launched an investigation."</p>
<p>ESPN also reported that the group is offering a reward for "information leading to the identification of the individual responsible" and will be requiring additional anti-bias training for all workers.</p>
<p>The future home of the Tennessee Titans is slated to open in February 2027 after construction began in February 2024 on the 60,000 seat stadium.</p>
<p>It's expected that the $2.1 billion stadium will be ready for kickoff of the 2027 NFL season.</p>
