More congestion is expected around Nissan Stadium. Officials urge you to prepare now
About 12 events are scheduled at Nissan Stadium, which should bring congestion around the stadium.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – As non-football event season at Nissan Stadium begins, officials are urging concertgoers to prepare now for their transportation to, from and around Nissan Stadium.
Kate Guerra, vice president of communications and corporate affairs for the Titans and Nissan Stadium, was joined by the Metro Nashville Police Department and the Nashville Department of Transportation on Tuesday morning to share tips and tricks to get around upcoming and expected congestion around the stadium.

There are 12 major events planned in the coming weeks and months at Nissan Stadium during the Titans’ offseason, including three nights of performances by Morgan Wallen, four nights of CMA Fest, and other events that are expected to bring crowds of 60,000 or more people every night.
“Whether you’re coming to the stadium for one of those events or planning your route home or to work that day, it’s extremely important to have your transportation plan ready,” Guerra said. “Nissan Stadium works very closely with (MNPD and NDOT) to make the experience of getting to, from and around Nissan Stadium as seamless as possible.”
Guerra said due to the construction of Nissan Stadium’s campus, there are fewer surface parking lots so finding a way not to park at Nissan might be easier than parking
The Metro Nashville Police Department echoed that sentiment, urging concert- and event-goers to get ready now.
“As the spring and summer events season at Nissan begins in earnest this weekend (with the Morgan Wallen concerts), your police department encourages all event goers … to begin deciding now how to get here,” MNPD spokesman Don Aaron said.
Rideshare drop-offs and city transit are options, as well as walking over the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge from downtown. The Woodland Street Bridge is also an option. It closes to regular traffic Thursday, Friday and Saturday and is open only to pedestrians and WeGo buses, Aaron said.
James Robertson Parkway and Jefferson Street are your best bets to get into East Nashville, Aaron added.
