Getting to Bridgestone Arena
Nashville Predators · Nashville, TN
Bridgestone Arena sits at 501 Broadway in the middle of downtown Nashville, and its own pages reflect that: it publishes no interstate routing at all, only where to pull in once you are downtown. What it does document well is everything other than driving — a downtown transit hub, an airport express bus with a stated fare, and a pedestrian bridge walk from the Nissan Stadium lots across the river.
Tips & Fan Reports
Broadway is right there and it is a blast before and after the game. Walk around Lower Broadway and hit the honky tonks. The atmosphere in Nashville on a Predators game night is something else.
Route 18 runs express to the airport for a $2 one-way fare, which makes a fly-in game night viable without a car.
Drop-off is specifically the eastbound curb lane of Broadway between 6th and 5th, not the front plaza.
The arena's own site gives no interstate directions, so set your map app to 501 Broadway before you leave.
Park at Nissan Stadium and walk the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge — the arena itself publishes this as a 10-12 minute walk.
Ways In
- Driving
- The arena publishes no interstate route. What it does name is where to arrive: guest drop-off is the eastbound curb lane of Broadway between 6th & 5th Aves, the garage entrance is on 6th Avenue beside the southwest elevator, and the general admission entrance is on the front plaza at the corner of Rep. John Lewis Way and Broadway.
- Public Transit
- WeGo Public Transit runs many lines into and out of downtown, and WeGo Central — the downtown transit station — is a short walk from the arena. Route 18 is the express to and from Nashville International Airport (BNA), which the arena lists at a $2 one-way fare.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off is on 5th Avenue near the arena entrance. Post-game pickup zones are marked on 5th and 6th Avenues. Expect heavy surge and 15-20 minute waits on weekend nights.
- Walking
- From the Nissan Stadium lots across the Cumberland, walk the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, which the arena puts at 10-12 minutes.

How We Checked This Page
Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.

- Transit
WeGo’s QuickTicket local fare is $2 for two hours, with a $4 daily cap. The other entry was not a wrong price but a wrong kind of thing: "Pedal Tavern / Walkable" filed a paid party-bike tour and a walk together under mode "transit", so every rule in lib/transit.mjs read a scheduled public service that was neither. Bridgestone Arena genuinely is walkable from downtown Nashville, which is the true half, so the entry is reclassified as a walk and named for it rather than deleted. Walking entries carry no transit fare by definition
