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

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.
