Getting there
Nissan Stadium sits on the east bank of the Cumberland River at 1 Titans Way, directly across the river from downtown Nashville and Broadway. The Korean Veterans Boulevard pedestrian bridge and the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge both connect downtown to the stadium across the river — a short walk from Broadway is the most popular approach. WeGo Public Transit bus routes serve the area. Most fans drive in via I-24 to the Shelby Avenue exit or I-65 to the Korean Veterans Boulevard exit; stadium-affiliated and East Nashville lots ring the venue, and reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats game-day pricing. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed at the dedicated entrances. Confirm bag and entry rules on the Titans' official site before going. Important note: the Titans are building a new domed stadium next door (targeted for around 2027) — confirm whether Nissan Stadium remains the Titans' home for the current season.
The neighborhood
The stadium sits in East Nashville's western edge — the Nashville Sounds Minor League ballpark and Cumberland Park are immediate neighbors, with the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge providing a direct walking connection to downtown Nashville across the Cumberland River. Broadway — the honky-tonk-and-bar strip that defines Nashville's tourist core — is a short walk across the bridge and is the canonical pre-game experience. East Nashville's destination restaurants and bars (Five Points, Riverside Village, the East Nashville hot-chicken scene) are a short ride east. The stadium's east-side approach has limited walkable bar options — most pre-game eating happens on Broadway or in East Nashville. Travelers building a wider day can pair the visit with a Broadway honky-tonk crawl, a Country Music Hall of Fame visit, or a hot-chicken dinner in East Nashville.
Where to eat & drink nearby
Walkable pre-game stops across the pedestrian bridge include the entire Broadway honky-tonk corridor. Popular spots include Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (the iconic purple honky-tonk on Broadway), Robert's Western World (the Broadway honky-tonk most beloved by locals for traditional country), and Acme Feed & Seed (the multi-level Broadway bar with a rooftop overlooking the stadium and river). Hattie B's Hot Chicken Broadway is the destination Nashville hot-chicken stop within walking distance via the bridge. The Pharmacy Burger in East Nashville is a destination burger-and-beer-garden a short ride east. Prince's Hot Chicken is the original Nashville hot chicken (a longer ride). Bolton's Spicy Chicken and Fish in East Nashville is the third pillar of the city's hot-chicken canon. Husk Nashville is the destination Sean Brock Southern sit-down a short walk south of Broadway. Pre-game tailgate crowds in the stadium lots build steadily through Sunday morning for Titans home dates.
First-timer tips
Plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours before kickoff for Titans games — the inbound traffic on I-24 and the pedestrian-bridge approach from Broadway stack up significantly before kickoff. The walk from Broadway across the Cumberland River pedestrian bridges is one of the most distinctive pre-game approaches in the NFL — a quick crawl through the honky-tonks and a riverfront walk to the stadium is the canonical Titans-game experience. The Titans' Two-Tone Blue color identity and the deep Tennessee State University co-tenancy give the building a different feel than most NFL venues. The new domed Titans stadium is under construction immediately next door (targeted for around 2027); construction-impact details on the current Nissan Stadium experience are published on the team's official site. Mobile-only tickets and clear-bag policy are standard.
Best games to catch
For the Tennessee Titans, AFC South games against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, and Houston Texans are the rivalry weekends that consistently spike demand. Visits from the Chiefs, Bills, and other national-broadcast opponents anchor strong prime-time slates. For Tennessee State Tigers football, the annual Southern Heritage Classic (when scheduled) and HBCU matchups are the program's marquee home dates that fill the stadium's lower bowl. Tennessee State has been a primary Nissan Stadium tenant since the building's 1999 opening — the HBCU football tradition at the venue is a meaningful part of its history. The stadium also hosts the annual CMA Fest stadium concerts (June) and major touring concerts year-round, plus the occasional Concacaf Gold Cup and U.S. national-team match.
What to know
Nissan Stadium opened in August 1999 as Adelphia Coliseum, was renamed The Coliseum in 2002 after Adelphia's collapse, then LP Field in 2006 after Louisiana-Pacific naming rights, and became Nissan Stadium in 2015 under a 20-year deal with Nissan North America (HQ in nearby Franklin, TN). The Titans relocated from Houston in 1997, played at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis and Vanderbilt Stadium during the transition years, and moved into this stadium for the 1999 season — the Titans' first season in this building included the 'Music City Miracle' playoff win over Buffalo and reached Super Bowl XXXIV. Tennessee State University football has been a co-tenant since opening. The Titans broke ground on a new domed stadium immediately next door in February 2024 — the new building, projected to open around 2027, will replace Nissan Stadium as the Titans' home. Confirm the current home-stadium status on the team's official site.
Frequently asked questions
What time do gates open at Nissan Stadium?
Gates typically open about 90 minutes before kickoff for Titans games, with earlier openings for premium-ticket holders. Parking lots open roughly 3-4 hours before kickoff for tailgating. Check the Titans' official gates and entry page for the current season's schedule.
How do I get to Nissan Stadium from Broadway?
The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and the Korean Veterans Boulevard Bridge both connect downtown Nashville and Broadway to the stadium across the Cumberland River. The walk from Broadway is roughly 15-20 minutes and is one of the most popular pre-game approaches in the NFL.
Where can I park near Nissan Stadium?
Stadium-affiliated and East Nashville lots ring the venue. Reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats game-day pricing — particularly for Titans prime-time games. Many fans park downtown and walk across the pedestrian bridges instead.
Is Nissan Stadium the same as LP Field?
Yes — the stadium was LP Field from 2006-2015, before being renamed Nissan Stadium in 2015 under a 20-year deal with Nissan North America. It was previously Adelphia Coliseum (1999) and The Coliseum (2002). It is the same stadium that has been home to the Titans since 1999.
Is the Titans new stadium ready?
Not yet — the Titans broke ground on a new domed stadium immediately next door in February 2024, targeting around 2027 for opening. Until then, Nissan Stadium remains the Titans' home. Confirm the current home-stadium status on the team's official site.
