NASHVILLE Roll Call

Random Question - anyone know good sports bars for NFL on Sunday? Ideally Jets games?
could even settle for a Browns bar too. 

Yes, plenty. Where are you staying?

I’m here for work (and PJ) so I’m out near the airport. But no issue going into downtown or wherever. Just looking for a place I can watch the Jets, bonus with other fans. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on a place to try some Nashville hot chicken? 

Thank you so much for all of the breakfast ideas!

I apologize if this question has already been asked.  Is it helpful to have a car in Nashville.  I am staying downtown near the arena and was not sure if we needed one or if it would just be a waste of $ paying for parking for 2 days.

Waste

I second that. Some great areas that you could quickly Uber to if needed and don’t have to worry about driving or the cost. 

There's also hundreds of electric scooters around. 

I've always seen those but never used them.....so you just pick it up, swipe your card and go? What if you leave it somewhere and come back out and someone else has taken it?

googled it....might try that. Not as expensive as I thought

There's a code you scan on the scooter. It will open an app. You enter your payment. After you're done w/ the ride, most will want you to take a photo of where you leave it. Sometimes, its kind of wonky. Like your friend will end a ride, and you'll end yours and it will say "Cant leave here" But then you move it a foot, and its fine.

Any recommendations for all day parking? Looks like Music City Center Parking Deck behind the arena is a good option.  Just want to confirm with any locals or Nashville veterans on here. 

yeah, that's probably the prime location and very close to everything. That is usually $25 I believe for special events and you pay as you enter. After the show is over though, traffic is diverted different directions and only 1 way out of MCC(depending on which exit you take), so if you don't want to get in that mess, maybe hang around or hit up a bar of something after the show to let traffic die down (Just please don't drive drunk). But yeah, plenty of parking there and right at the arena.

I always park at the Library (library sits between 6th and 7th and Church st and Commerce st. entrances on 6th (one way street) and 7th). it's $10 max per day and easy in and out. Commerce is 1 block over from Broadway and Arena is at 5th and Broadway, so only a block and a half. Church St has I-40 access so pretty much a straight shot to interstate after the show. Only bad thing about the library is it can back up after the show if you're on an upper level as it's pay as you leave. But well, that's pretty much everywhere

Edit: I should point out though, that with the MCC (Music City Center), if you get there early enough in the day, it's a normal press button for ticket parking garage. You could hit that sweet spot of getting a ticket, parking there all day, then leaving after the show when the gates are up and you've just scored free parking. It's happened to me a few times when I wasn't even going to a show downtown lol

Nice!  I plan on getting there by 11:00am at the latest for the outside merch sales.  Keeping my car parked until after the show and I'll be in no hurry to leave.  My hotel is next to the Vandy football stadium. 

Thanks a bunch for the info!

You're welcome.  If you're staying by Vandy, if you've got time, I'd go tour the Parthenon. There's a Martin's BBQ over there too on Eliston Place and Redlands Grill by J Alexanders on West End across from the Parthenon are some good places to eat. Enjoy!

Does anyone want free parking in the Pinnacle building parking garage? It's the parking add-on offered on the Ticketmaster site. I bought it before doing much research and then figured out that it can get really backed up trying to leave after the show. I need to hit the road right away afterwards & won't have time to sit in traffic waiting, so I'll be finding a different place to park. 

PM me if you want it & I'll transfer it to you. I think it just requires me to enter your email address.

Go to Bolton’s in east Nashville. It’s by far my favorite since og Prince’s closed.
