Nissan Stadium Guide

NFL · Nashville · 67,700 capacity

See Nashville weekends

Last updated: 3/4/2026

Nissan Stadium sits across the Cumberland River from downtown Nashville, visible from the Broadway honky-tonks but requiring either the Shelby Street pedestrian bridge or the free WeGo bus service on Titans game days. Tailgating in the stadium lots is a full-production event, with lots opening hours early and Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint serving the crowd that can't wait for concession lines. Stay in SoBro or The Gulch and the walk across the river is part of the experience.
