Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
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.
WeGo Central is a short walk from the arena; the venue lists airport Route 18 at $2 one way.
The Lot E shuttle runs every 15 to 20 minutes during the two hours before and the two hours after the game; Lot E then locks.
Route 18 runs express to the airport for a $2 one-way fare, which makes a fly-in game night viable without a car.
Park at Nissan Stadium and walk the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. The arena itself publishes this as a 10-12 minute walk.
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.

Getting There
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Parking guidance
Official Bridgestone Arena directions, parking and accessibility pages, read 2026-08-30: named facilities and approaches, two published rates, complimentary Nissan Stadium Lot R and shuttle timing, advance purchase, the parking map, and accessible-garage rules. RV, charter-bus and routine road-closure policies are not published.

- 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
