WATCH: Fire breaks out at Nissan Stadium just prior to Titans/Colts
Week 2 of the National Football League season, the Tennessee Titans are hosting the Indianapolis Colts in an early-season AFC South matchup.
The first home game of the season for the Titans after opening their season with a victory in Cleveland, part of their pregame show did not go according to plan.
A speaker burst into flames resulting in a sizable fire very close to the playing surface.
Below are a couple of videos of the blaze:

Fortunately, stadium employees were able to get the situation under control and the game began on-schedule.
Nissan Stadium hosts the Music City Bowl every December, a game between a team from the Big Ten and a team from the SEC.
The Auburn Tigers routed the Purdue Boilermakers, 63-14, in the 2018 Music City Bowl.
