Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Music City Center Garage is the best value, large, well-lit, and a short walk to Broadway.
Post-game, Broadway traffic is heavy. Park north of the arena for easier exit toward I-65.
Pre-book parking online for sold-out games. Downtown Nashville fills up on weekends regardless of hockey.
Rideshare pickup is on 5th Avenue. Walk a block from Broadway for faster pickup and lower surge.
If staying downtown, skip the car entirely. Broadway is walkable to the arena.

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.
- Parking prices
Bridgestone Arena's own directions-and-parking page prices three facilities: the Fifth Ave. of the Arts Garage at $10 in advance for Predators games, the adjacent First Baptist Church lot at $25 in advance, and complimentary parking in Nissan Stadium Lot R for home games without a conflict, with a free two-way BEEP shuttle. The six other facilities it names, including the attached arena garage, carry no published rate. The invented "Downtown Garages" and "Bridgestone Lots" categories are replaced by the named, priced facilities.
