In 2019, a coyote wandered from the hills around Nashville into a bathroom at the Music City Center. After his moment of viral fame, he was released back into the wild, but he couldn’t seem to resist the big city. In 2021, construction workers building GEODIS Park found him dashing around, bounding from end to end where our home pitch is now. Tempo the Coyote loved being at our stadium so much, he decided to make it his home. Now, Tempo the Coyote has a whole band of friends to cheer on Nashville SC with every weekend!
