By car use the I‑40/I‑24 downtown exits to reach stadium parking lots; from downtown it’s roughly 1-1.5 miles (about a 20-30 minute walk) across the river. On event days the city runs shuttle services and extra bus routes from downtown and designated park‑and‑ride lots.

- Arrive at the stadium 60-90 minutes before kickoff or event start to clear security checkpoints and avoid the worst traffic bottlenecks on surrounding roads and bridges.
- Use pedestrian routes and public transit options from downtown Nashville where possible-the pedestrian bridges across the Cumberland River and downtown shuttle services are often faster than driving into stadium lots.
- Check the stadium's current bag and security policy before you travel and note your assigned gate on your ticket to avoid crowding at the wrong entrance.
