Suggestion for those who come to Nashville - ochocincos - 01-16-2022
If the Bengals do end up playing the Titans next weekend, I suggest getting a hotel around Goodlettsville, which is about 15 minutes north of downtown.
It's (usually) a lot cheaper to stay around that area, super easy drive to the stadium, and it's closer to Cincinnati/Louisville for those coming from there.
You'll also avoid airport traffic, and you're really close to Opryland.

Yep. Stadium is north of the river and pretty easy to access.
Like Cincinnati, Nashville is not a huge metropolis.

I live 3 hours from Nashville, and 4 hours from Cincinnati.
I think Nashville is only about 3.5 hours from Cincinnati.

Depends what part of Nashville.
I usually hit Louisville from northern Nashville in about 2.5 hours.
It takes me about another 1-1.5 hours to get to/through downtown Cincy.
I drive about 75-80 though, which does help.

May be going down there... pending I can get a ticket in the $200ish range.

There are so many "villes" in Tennessee lol.

Bumping this now that we know the Bengals are coming to Nashville for 3:30 CST Saturday game.
RE: Suggestion for those who come to Nashville - impactplaya - 01-17-2022
Clarksville is another option for hotels.
A bit cheaper than Nashville and its only a 45 minute drive.
And its a Mecca for dining options

Hey locals, what’s the hot chicken spot? I’ve had Hattie B’s, looks like Prince’s downtown is closed. Any food recommendations will do.

All over the place. I just moved away from Nashville but we lived in Hendersonville. We always joked about all of the surrounding villes.

Party Fowl is a good one.
There are a few around the city.
Bolton's was featured on Food Network.

Prince's opened another location closer to Broadway that is open - 5055 Broadway Pl, Nashville, TN 37203

Some other food places to try other than hot chicken:
Cheaper restaurants you can't get around Cincy:
- Zaxby's - Chicken tenders, wings, etc. with a wide range of hot sauces.
- Krystal - Very similar to White Castle.
- Whataburger - Just opened in Old Hickory, which is close to the airport. Texas burger joint.
A ton of great local options that range from affordable to pricy too.

Good number of breweries around too.
Yazoo Brewing is basically right there in Goodlettsville (technically in Madison though).
Blackstone brewing, Tailgate Brewing, and Bearded Iris are all very good.
Barrique Brewing is really close to the stadium, but I haven't been there yet.

Just saw that the only place I was going to suggest, The Tin Angel, closed in 2019.
That was a great little restaurant.

My daughter lives in Springfield. If I were going to the game I would stay with them but I can't pay that much for tix.

Been visiting Nashville for decades, and it has lost the small town feel of the city it used it be, it is one of the fastest growing city over the past 10 years and that has caused downtown to become overpriced, parking costs are crazy, packed streets, waits to get into places, good luck finding a decent hotel within 30 mins of downtown at a reasonable price. Now with that said with the colder weather downtown should be a bit easier to go to bars restaurants but prepare to buy a good amount for parking.
On the positive side, I like the stadium, pretty open access, not a lot around it so prepare to tailgate unless you are coming from downtown, I found a reasonable airbnb free parking about 15 mins from stadium.. Who Dey
RE: Suggestion for those who come to Nashville - Go Cards - 01-17-2022
Not going to make to Nashville for the game unfortunately
but go to several shows a year at the Ryman Auditorium and will keep all these great suggestions in mind.

Yep Nashville is one of the fastest growing cities now, has been for the past 5+ years.
No state income tax helps draw people in.
Highways were not designed for this population boom lol.
It's similar to the Austin boom in many ways.
Depending on your definition of "reasonable priced," multiple hotels around Goodlettsville are around $125/night for this weekend.
Another place you can look for a hotel other than Goodlettsville that isn't as expensive as Broadway is around Vanderbilt.
That area is around $150-175 per night for this coming weekend.
If you want to be right by the Grand Ole Opry, the hotels look to be around $130/night for the weekend there. There's a lot of touristy stuff over there. Grand Ole Opry, Opry Mills Mall, Dave & Busters, a bunch of nicer restaurants in the mall, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, Dukes of Hazard museum, General Jackson riverboat. It's actually about as far from the stadium as Goodlettsville though, and is a busier area on weekends due to all the touristy stuff.
If you're looking to stay around Broadway (main place for honky tonks), be ready to spend ~$250+ a night.

Princes main location now is Nolensville pike. It’s excellent.
400 degrees is the best in the city, hot shrimp is to die for but unfortunately they’re still closed bc of damage from the tornado. Bc of that a trip to princes is totally worth it.
Don’t go to the Broadway location. It’s just for tourists and it’s not nearly as good.
