After a contentious and public political battle, Major League Soccer expansion side Nashville SC and the city’s mayor, John Cooper, have reached an agreement for a 30,000-seat soccer stadium to be built at the city’s fairgrounds.
Under the agreed upon terms, Nashville SC will fund 100 percent of stadium construction with private money through investments, stadium lease payments and revenues generated by events at the stadium. Cooper and the club have agreed to a statement of principles including open space between the soccer stadium and the historic speedway at the fairgrounds.
The demolition process at the site, which will remove old expo buildings, will begin immediately, according to a release from the club.
