Suite setup
Lindsey D.

Had the chance to catch the UFC Fight Night July 12 at Bridgestone Arena (Suite 16) for work, and it did not disappoint. Got dropped off near Nashville First Baptist Church and enjoyed the walk up to the arena--plenty of energy and easy to navigate. The suite had excellent visibility of the octagon, great service, and a comfortable setup. Watching Derrick Lewis baptize a Gen Z heavyweight in real time? Unforgettable. All in all, an incredible venue for a live event--efficient entry, solid amenities, and unforgettable atmosphere. After the event I walked up to 8th and Demonbreun to catch an uber to the hotel. Plenty of police presence post-event for safety and traffic control.

In the last 9 years since moving to Nashville I seen so many concerts here and obi the CMA and let me tell you is INCREDIBLE for life music. Costumer service is on point and have so many different drinks and food you can chose from. If you have an opportunity to have a suite is even better because you will be with a small group of people you close and no one will block you if the stand up in front of you but any seat in the arena is AMAZING. They always working to make this venue better so check the new offering before you go. Bridgestone Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was completed in 1996 and is currently home to the National Hockey League's Nashville Predators. Right on Broadway by the to the Honky Tonks so you can party after the event is over. Primarily known as the home of the Nashville Predators, hosting NHL games with a capacity of 17,159 for ice hockey. It also hosts other sporting events like the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament. Concerts and Shows: A popular venue for concerts and other live entertainment events, with a seating capacity of approximately 20,000 for center stage concerts. The arena has hosted events like the Country Music Association Awards and Country Music Television Awards. Designed by HOK Sport (now Populous) in conjunction with Nashville-based Hart Freeland Roberts, Inc., its design subtly acknowledges the Ryman Auditorium. Accessibility: Bridgestone Arena offers accessible seating on every level and provides wheelchair services upon request. They are also certified sensory inclusive and offer sensory bags for guests. Offers a variety of food and beverage options, including the BetMGM Sports Lounge and Pete & Terry's Tavern. Free WiFi is available throughout the arena but is an insecure network just be aware of that but is well needed when you have more then 3000 fans try to get signal.

It's more and more fun attending various events at the arena. On the other hand it's more and more painful finding parking spaces in downtown Nashville. That will be the main reason for the review update. Still like to come back and enjoy different events, like the Predators game tonight. Let's go Preds!

Honestly, I can't think of anything negative. I came for a predators hockey game on Tuesday evening because I was there for a conference at music city. The stadium was so new, the chairs were padded and in great condition. my colleague felt they were a little narrow, but I thought they were OK. There were no lines for almost anything. The security was very quick and easy. Everyone is very nice. I got the walking taco which is basically loaded chips. I got Tostitos topped with pork, cheese and veggies - basically nachos. I would love to come back.

This is a great hockey arena! Smashville knows how to bring the energy! This was my first NHL experience, and I am beyond happy that it was here. Every staff member I encountered was so friendly. The jumbotron was great for us sitting in section 204. I love that there's a band during intermission! The club level is a real treat too. Sure, there's more limited food options, but it was great for me and my family. I loved the chicken tenders. Definitely recommend folks make the drive out to experience hockey in Smashville!

Always love a good Bridgestone Arena event, the space is always easy to navigate, plenty of amenities, staff is incredible!

Kacey Musgraves!

OK Bridgestone ... I see you! In a city full of many memorable venues, this hockey haven that doubles as a tour stop for major artists definitely stands out. My husband and I recently saw Kacey Musgraves perform here for the end of her Deeper Well tour, and we had an incredible experience! First of all, you really can't beat the location. We parked just outside of the Broadway bubble, walked a couple of blocks to grab a quick bite at Assembly Food Hall, and then walked across the street to Bridgestone! Easy peasy - even when it's cold outside. We arrived about 30 minutes after doors, and there was a short line for security. We had floor seats, and so we actually ended up having to wait in two different lines because there was no signage. Not a major issue ... but we missed a few minutes of the openers. The arena itself is laid out well, and there are plenty of bars with lots of fun local options (shout out Spiked Coolers!) There was some bottlenecking at the ladies' room and the merch line ... kind of to be expected, but I feel like the volume should be anticipated when you're touring major artists like Kacey Musgraves. The show itself was incredible. If you're thinking about splurging for floor seats, this is your sign to go for it. From the crisp sound to the otherworldly visuals, this was an experience to remember. The crowd was pretty respectful too ... although toward the end of the show, they did get a little (understandably) rowdy. The confetti and balloons were a fun touch too! I have yet to check out a Preds game here ... but that's next on the list for sure!

Great stadium food at decent prices. Service was quick and lines weren't too long before the game or during intermissions. Had some hot chicken tenders and fries and some dippin dots

Preds vs. Bruins

I've been able to attend Bridgestone for several events (most recently a Preds game). It's always an experience. I have a nose bleeds budget so never get great seats, but always have a good time. Wish the food service was better as I have allergies and usually customize things and always have issues.

I came here for the Disturbed concert with Plush & Falling in Reverse. We had nose bleed seats, but honestly wasn't really a bad seat still. We could see everything going on really good and the sound definitely amplified. Parking is easy. You can either park at the arena or across the street at Music City Center. Getting in and out wasn't horribly difficult. They had concessions on every floor to include merchandise.

I was able to visit and attend this arena for the Travis Scott concert and we had a great time. The arena did a good job getting us all in quickly and yet they were still checking every single person in one by one. Once inside they had employees helping out with directions. I bought some merch and even the merch line was organized. There was a very friendly usher standing at the entrance of our section and she took us to our seats which we thought was very nice. Overall we had fun, felt safe, and the concert was great! Exiting the arena was a breeze since we did walk out about 5 minutes before the show ended.

Tonight......KISS!
Jose P.

Came to the Bridgestone Arena to see the hottest band in the world....KISS! The arena did a good job at getting everyone through security and had plenty of metal detectors for the scanning process to occur quickly and safely. There were plenty of staff members to assist people to their seats and to keep order throughout the concert. The acoustics are amazing and every seat has a good view of the massive stage. Thank you, Bridgestone Arena, for hosting my favorite band and for making it possible to enjoy a memorable concert.

I'm attending the 2024 men's basketball tournament at Bridgestone arena. The arena is located in the heart of downtown Nashville. It's a great location for a sporting event with tons of bars and honky tonks to celebrate the big wins! The arena is nice. It's clean and well kept. It has a nice flow to it and it's easy to find your seats. The bbq option is good at the stadium. I tried the chicken bbq with baked beans and mac and cheese. For arena food I can't complain. I'd get it again. This arena also offers refills on their larger drinks for the duration of the session. You pay a bit more but it is a better value at $11 for a large with a refill vs $6 for the next size down and no refill. Another tip if coming to a game here is parking is free at Nissan stadium and there is a nice walking bridge to connect you from the lot to the heart of downtown, it's not a bad walk and could save you upwards of $20 on parking. I'd highly recommend checking out a gabe or other event at this stadium! Hope the cats win this week!

The new Nissan Stadium in Nashville is a 2.1-million-square-foot, 60,000-seat enclosed venue under…read moreconstruction on the East Bank of the Cumberland River, scheduled for completion in February 2027. It will feature a translucent roof, 360-degree concourses, and 38% closer seating to the field, designed to host NFL, college football, concerts, and major events like the Super Bowl. Gayle and I had the chance to watch all the construction up close as we navigated from the pedestrian bridge to the Edgefield neighborhood. That included a non-ADA compliant walk-around to get to the bridge over the Interstate. This was a huge operation and we got as close as we could without trespassing. Then there's the present Nissan Stadium that will be torn down (for a parking lot) after the new Stadium is finished. This is the home of the NFL's Tennessee Titans, formally the Houston Oilers. Opened in 1999, this 67,000+ capacity open-air venue hosts football games, concerts, and major events like the CMA Music Festival. Game Day is probably pretty exciting here (including before and after Broadway).

Here for Coldplay concert which was absolutely phenomenal. This was our first time at the stadium…read moreand have to give some kudos. Though the outside of the stadium is undergoing construction, the ease in entering and exiting wasn't so bad. We walked from the Holiday Inn Express and followed the signs (and the crowd) to the entrance line. Since we had General Admission tickets (the pit) we followed the signs to the line we were to wait in. The line was organized and monitored well. There was a stadium guy selling water while we waited. There are many text messages and emails in the days leading up to the concert, reminding you to make sure you have your QR code downloaded and ready to show at the gate. The will call window is open and would help with this if needed. Once the doors opened, the line moved rapidly and we were soon inside the stadium. There was a bathroom close, as well as appropriately priced food, and a short line to buy Coldplay merch. Coldplay was absolutely phenomenal. Friendly ushers pointed us in the right direction to go down into the pit. Once there we were able to purchase an adult beverage and get ready for some fun!

I've come here several times to watch Athletes Unlimited professional women's basketball games…read more Because this venue is so small, there are both pros and cons of its size. There is plenty of public parking nearby, the security and food lines go quickly, and you are always guaranteed a seat close to the action. However the seats have so little legroom it gets very uncomfortable to sit for any length of time. Even though there are plenty of food and drink options and the entertainment is on point, I always welcome the end of an event when I can finally stretch my legs!

As my old review is from 8 years ago at this point, it seemed like it was overdue for an update…read more I've seen other shows here in that time, most recently this month as my wife wanted to catch the Empire of the Sun concert. It's still far from my favorite venue in Nashville, but it's older aesthetics kind of evoke nostalgia more than cries of "outdated" to me at this point. It feels permanently trapped in the late 20th century for sure-- interior paintings of Kiss and Judas Priest feel recent, as if (I know the latter is still touring) those acts just played to celebrate the release of their latest classic album to teenagers who paid $20 for tickets and waited in line at the box office of the venue to do so. If you're going to be GA on the floor, this place is as good as any. If you're going to be in the stands, hope for a show that isn't completely sold out as it can get very cramped (particularly if you're on the taller side) if you have neighbors on each side. Luckily for us, the floor was full but the stands were moderate and I had room to stretch my legs + stand as wished. Sound here was surprisingly good. It's smaller inside than I remember, so most views from the stands are solid. Entry was fast this time around, staff was super friendly and welcoming. We didn't buy any concessions, so I'm not positive how much a drink will run you these days but my 8 year old complaint about $11 beers seems funny as nowadays a comparable drink at Bridgestone or the like may run you close to double that. Parking lots in the area are a bit cheaper than they are near the newer, hipper venues (like The Pinnacle, Brooklyn Bowl). All in all--not a venue I ever seek out intentionally, but one that I'll definitely go to for the right show.

Our first time at a minor league game and I have to say I really enjoyed it…read more If you've ever been to Petco park, you know the crowds, lack of affordable seating (nosebleed seats are not fun) can be off putting, not to mention the high cost of parking and traffic. So needless to say, this was such a nice surprise. While we were lucky enough to have been invited to a suite, looking around there is not a bad seat in the house. Lots of younger kids were in the stands, so I am looking forward to bringing my grandsons. Its a cashless facility, which I've never experienced before. I use my credit card for everything to get points, so it didnt bother me. The facility was pretty clean and I was happy to see a station for nursing mothers. Things like that truly show a family friendly vibe and I am here for it. The lines at the snack stands didnt seem too bad, and the baseball was full of oh no and oh yea moments. We even got a few full rowd boos over play calls. Nothing to do on a Friday night? Check out the Sounds at First Horizon Park!

Food prices are what you'd expect from a sports venue, but the quality was excellent--everything we had tasted great.
