A Nashville judge on Tuesday said a group seeking to stop construction of the city's Major League Soccer stadium had failed to identify "genuine issues" that justified a lawsuit challenging the build.

The Save Our Fairgrounds coalition, which includes flea market vendors, sued the city over the MLS stadium plans in September. Davidson County Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle rejected their argument in January, and then on Tuesday denied the group's request to revive their lawsuit, throwing it out instead.

The group had argued the construction, and the elimination of 3,500 parking spaces, would make it impossible for the Nashville Flea Market to operate on the fairgrounds.

Lyle disagreed, citing city leaders' work to preserve space for other uses of the fairgrounds property.

"The facts of record are that Metro is taking into account, providing for and prioritizing arrangements for the existing uses to continue on the site in tandem with the new uses being added," she wrote in her Tuesday order standing by her decision to dismiss the suit.

Lyle's decision is the latest legal setback for opponents fighting the MLS stadium. She had blocked the group's earlier attempt to halt construction and had issued an initial order of dismissal in January.

In February, the nonprofit that runs the Tennessee State Fair withdrew its own lawsuit seeking to block construction, deciding instead to negotiate with the city outside of court.
