The Tennessee Titans announced they will close off Nissan Stadium to fans for their home opener Sept. 20 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nashville Mayor John Cooper issued a statement about the decision:
"Across the United States, there's a wide range of approaches to in-person attendance for professional sports based on a wide range of public health policies and the prevalence of the coronavirus in those locations. We must take a cautious approach recognizing that we cannot predict our COVID-19 metrics further into the fall sports season. I'm grateful both to the Tennessee Titans and Nashville SC for working closely with our Office of the Metro Public Health Department while prioritizing the safety of their players, staff and our residents.
