NYCFC, however, did not share the reasons for such precautions.

The club eventually confirmed the stadium was cleared of all issues, and players returned to their warmup ahead of kick off.

NYCFC currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference while Nashville are 13th and miss out on the MLS playoffs.
