The July 4 fireworks display in downtown Nashville left a section of Nissan Stadium damaged.

An errant shell that misfired landed in the upper deck of the Titans stadium and detonated. The pyrotechnic explosion blew out some seats and concrete in the upper deck. Because Nissan Stadium is in the city's fireworks "fallout zone," the stadium was empty and no one was injured.

"Basically, a shell misfired and caused some damage. We are waiting for a structural engineering company to come in,” Monica Fawknotson, director of the Metro Sports Authority told reporters, via Titans Insider. "They will be on site (Thursday) and assess the damage and get back to us.

"Thankfully, nobody was hurt. I don’t think this is going to interrupt any events at the stadium."

Nissan Stadium is scheduled to host the U.S. Men's National Team's Gold Cup match against Panama on Saturday. Ticket holders will not be displaced because no tickets for the damaged section were sold. A Titans spokesman told Omnisport the team only sold "tickets in the upper deck on one side of the stadium and the damage was on the opposite sideline, which wasn't going to be open for that game."

The Titans are not scheduled to use the stadium until their Aug. 19 preseason opener against the Panthers.

The owner of Pyro Shows, which operated Nashville's fireworks show on Tuesday, explained the malfunction.

"The shells are supposed to go off in the air, but this one came back down and didn’t go off until it landed in the upper deck," Lansden Hill told Titans Insider. "It was just one of those things that will occasionally happen. That’s why the fire code requires that we keep the crowd a certain area away from it. We know out of every 1,000 shells not all of them are going to work right."
