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still far from my favorite venue in Nashville, but it's older aesthetics kind of evoke nostalgia more than cries of "outdated" to me at this point.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.

We both love the lead singer, Bruce Dickinson and their mascot, Eddie! This was a great show: the "Legacy of the Beast" tour! Like Yelper Kayla S., mentioned, Bridgestone is super close to Broadway, making it typically a quick walk from your hotel, which is a huge bonus! Sorority Sister and I saw a legendary 80s hair band there, too, who also put on a great show! I don't think it was Def Leppard; however that's the closest band I see on the Bridgestone concert archives website. It was funny because the drummer, who was dressed in his best 80s leotard tights, and 80s t-shirt, bounded out of (his and our) hotel building running late for the show! He jumped into a cab and went around the corner straight to Bridgestone. Bridgestone does a good job with security; they have all the eats and drinks you could want; their merch is always displayed well, priced well, and readily available. I love Bridgestone!

Bridgestone is by far my favorite large event venue in Nashville. The crowd management is top notch…read moreand I never feel like I'm waiting in long lines, even when the event is sold out. The staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient. Some of the seats near the top are very narrow when it comes to legroom, so be prepared to stand up and stretch sometimes. If you're at a predators game, this will be no problem as the crowd likes to get loud and proud! If at a concert, the "nosebleeds" are still relatively close to the action and climate controlled vs the outdoor/stadium venue options around town. Parking can be expensive on Broadway, so a ride share might be a better option if you can walk a couple blocks for pickup.

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. If you're in town for a few days, I highly recommend catching a game here as part of your visit. You'll have a great time!
