NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Police detained and cited 11 adults and seven teens for trespassing at Geodis Park after they allegedly ran onto the field during Tuesday night’s match between Nashville Soccer Club and Club America in Leagues Cup competition.
The incident reportedly took place during the penalty kick phase near the end of the match.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), the 18 individuals in question were mostly — if not all — fans of visiting Club America.

Officials said Geodis Park’s policy is to seek help from the MNPD to prosecute fans who come onto the field during matches.
