Bridgestone Arena is a modern, multi-purpose indoor arena in the heart of downtown Nashville, built to match the energy of Broadway. Opened in 1996, it has become a go-to stage for major concerts, headline sporting events, and large-scale shows, with layouts that can accommodate up to roughly 20,000 guests.
Inside, you get clear sightlines and strong acoustics that keep the experience immersive—whether you’re here for a live show or game night. Multiple seating levels, premium areas and suites, plus a wide food-and-drink selection make it easy to turn arrival time into part of the evening.
You’ll find it at 501 Broadway, Nashville, United States. Most visitors approach the entrances directly from Broadway and the surrounding blocks, while drivers typically use the attached arena garage (near 6th Ave S and Demonbreun St) or the Fifth + Broadway Garage across the street on Broadway.
