The inauguration was initially set to be held outside of Legislative Plaza at 11 a.m. on Saturday, but due to weather concerns, it was moved to War Memorial Auditorium.
“While the weather doesn’t seem to be cooperating, we are looking forward to a fantastic inaugural weekend,” said Lee in a press release. “I encourage Tennesseans to be safe, but still also feel welcome to attend this historic event. We are making every effort to accommodate overflow space for those wishing to attend because I want to ensure no Tennessean is turned away who wants to join us for the festivities.”
