“The energy surrounding Nashville Soccer Club's future playoff games is inspiring fans across Tennessee,” said Antonia Hayes, Community Investments Manager, TDOT . “We're proud to channel that momentum into positive action through this kickoff cleanup. Our partnership with Nashville SC demonstrates how community pride extends beyond the field, helping create cleaner roadsides, waterways, and neighborhoods for everyone to enjoy. Together, we're proving that every Tennessean can make a difference.”
