Travel
Overview
Bridgestone Arena is on Broadway in downtown Nashville. You can't miss it. Nashville doesn't have rail transit, so most fans drive, rideshare, or walk from downtown hotels. The arena is surrounded by downtown parking garages and is walkable from the entire Broadway/Gulch/SoBro area. Getting to the arena is easy; getting out of downtown Nashville after a game on a Friday or Saturday night can be slow due to Broadway traffic.
