About Nissan Stadium#

Nissan Stadium is a large multi-purpose stadium on the banks of the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. It opened in 1999 and serves as a major venue for professional sports and large-scale events.

Spectators attend NFL games, MLS matches, concerts and college football games; the stadium includes multiple seating tiers, suites and event spaces for large crowds. Its riverfront location places it adjacent to downtown Nashville and visible from nearby urban routes.

Opened in 1999 to provide a new home for the NFL franchise then based in Tennessee, the stadium has undergone naming-rights changes and facility upgrades since its opening. It has hosted playoff games, MLS fixtures and major touring concerts.

The stadium is located on the south bank of the Cumberland River, a short drive from downtown Nashville and within the city’s sports and entertainment district.

  • Capacity: Stadium seating capacity is approximately 69,000 for football and large events.
  • Primary tenants: Home venue for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans and Major League Soccer’s Nashville SC, hosting sports and large concerts year-round.

How to Get to Nissan Stadium#

Nissan Stadium sits on the east bank of the Cumberland River in Nashville, just east of downtown. 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.

Tips for Visiting Nissan Stadium#

  • 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.
