Your NFL Weekend in
Nashville

Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium β€” plus everything to eat, drink, and do in Nashville for a perfect sports weekend.

⭐ GamePlan City Guide 🏈 NFL β€” Titans🎸 Live Music Capital of the World🏈 NCAAF β€” Vanderbilt (5 mi)

Nashville's Nissan Stadium sits across the Cumberland River from downtown β€” a 10-minute walk via the Pedestrian Bridge from one of the most vibrant entertainment districts in America. Nashville has become one of the most visited cities in America for a reason β€” and a Titans weekend gives you the sports anchor for the full experience.

A new $2.1 billion domed stadium is under construction near the current site, opening in 2027. Use GamePlan to check current stadium status for your planned trip and build the rest of your Nashville weekend around the game.

πŸ“ Nashville, Tennessee
🚌 Walk across the Pedestrian Bridge from downtown Nashville (10 minutes). Rideshare from any Nashville hotel is efficient. Parking on the East Bank is available at $20–40.

Nissan Stadium sits on the east bank of the Cumberland River with the Nashville skyline directly across the water. The pedestrian bridge connection to downtown makes it one of the most walkable NFL venues. A new domed stadium is under construction and will transform the experience when it opens in 2027.

πŸ’‘ Insider tip: Walk across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge from downtown before and after the game β€” the Nashville skyline view from the bridge is excellent and the walk takes 10 minutes. Lower Broadway's honky-tonk bars are 10 minutes from the stadium on foot.

🍴 Nashville Can't-Miss Eats

You cannot leave Nashville without eating these.

Nashville Hot Chicken
The defining dish of Nashville. Fried chicken coated in a cayenne-based paste that ranges from mild to face-melting. Prince's Hot Chicken Shack invented it in 1945. Hattie B's made it famous. Order it on white bread with pickles.
Meat-and-Three
A Nashville diner tradition: a meat entrΓ©e and three sides served cafeteria-style. Arnold's Country Kitchen is the canonical experience.
Tennessee Whiskey
Jack Daniel's is from Lynchburg (2 hours south), but Nashville's craft distillery scene has exploded. Nelson's Green Brier and Corsair both offer excellent tours and tastings.
Biscuits
Nashville's biscuit culture rivals Charleston's. Biscuit Love in the Gulch is the most celebrated, with a wait that reflects its reputation.
Country Ham
Aged, salt-cured, intensely flavored β€” different from the sugar-cured ham of most of America. Found at every diner and country-style restaurant in the region.
Honky-Tonk Nachos
Lower Broadway's honky-tonks serve enormous plates of nachos consumed while watching live country music at 11am. This is Nashville.
