I was able to visit and attend this arena for the Travis Scott concert and we had a great time. The arena did a good job getting us all in quickly and yet they were still checking every single person in one by one.Once inside they had employees helping out with directions. I bought some merch and even the merch line was organized.There was a very friendly usher standing at the entrance of our section and she took us to our seats which we thought was very nice.Overall we had fun, felt safe, and the concert was great! Exiting the arena was a breeze since we did walk out about 5 minutes before the show ended.

Came to the Bridgestone Arena to see the hottest band in the world....KISS!The arena did a good job at getting everyone through security and had plenty of metal detectors for the scanning process to occur quickly and safely. There were plenty of staff members to assist people to their seats and to keep order throughout the concert. The acoustics are amazing and every seat has a good view of the massive stage. Thank you, Bridgestone Arena, for hosting my favorite band and for making it possible to enjoy a memorable concert.

Visited Oct 19, 2023.Attended a concerted this night, the performing artists were great.The stadium could do better with food selection and pricing. It's limited and very pricey. The seats were comfortable but for us taller folks it can be a pain in the shins. My shins kept hitting the cup holder that was attached to the seat in front of me, that got uncomfortable fast. Also the clearing space to pass people to get to the middle seat where on the narrow side too depending on your seat selection.People are a bit confused on the bag policy as well. I read the online policy correctly but wanted to verify therefore called the number provided on the site. They seem to think only clear up to a certain size limit but I clear so women with handbags (not diaper bags) larger and not clear. I opted with not bringing anything but it would have been nice to have my waist bag to carry my wallet and medication.Parking would be in the near by parking garage but you'll of course be charged premium pricing for event days which was almost every day at about $30 - $40.

Lexus Lounge is a great idea. The food didn't taste 'gourmet' to me. Well, the desserts did. The dining staff and the other event staff were great! Everyone I encountered was nice and helpful. The VIP nation was alright but the merch really could've been better to include something a little more substantial than postcards. Overall - The setup for Depeche Mode on 10/19/2023 made the ambiance for the concert absolutely perfect!

After 30 years, Finally checking out the Wu-Tang Clan with Nas and De La Soul in Nashville. The Bridgestone Arena is a nice facility overall. Some of the seating is a bit tight if you are over 6 foot, particularly along the rails. A big plus here is that for a Nashville Predators game there is no truly bad seat in the house. It is also a very party like vibe, which you would expect from Music City. Parking is a bit ridiculous in quality and pricing. Security is good with the exception of "smoking" during concerts, people do not even attempt to conceal their weed.

The actual seating area is great! Great site lines from majority of the seats. Good atmosphere. The concessions here are awful. They take way longer than they should and way longer than 99% of arenas. Be prepared to miss a lot of action if you go up and there is any kind of line. Bathrooms are decently clean but aren't big enough when closer to sellouts. The location is great being on Broadway for pre/post game partying/drinks however it makes traffic a nightmare at times. Be prepared to wait forever if your using a transportation app

Came here for a hockey match since this is the closest NHL team to Atlanta! Had gotten my boyfriend tickets for his birthday and we went the Saturday before last! ***LOCATION***I really love that it's right in the center of the city. We were able to walk from our hotel about 30 minutes into the downtown area and then walk to the arena from there after lunch. It was super easy to access. ***EXPERIENCE***We went through the metal detectors and bag search, hate that that is a thing, but glad to have it for security! We then went inside and we're able to easily find our seats. We were in the veryyyy back, but I really liked the view actually. I felt it was easy to see the rink and I personally like higher up seats to look down and see all of the court/field/rink/etc. At matches. I liked that this one was high enough up, yet still close enough to be able to see the players well. I enjoyed the mini concert they had at the break and enjoyed all of the little extras, games and things that they do during pauses! Nashville was losing, so we left a little early and were in a rush to get to Huntsville afterwards, so glad we left during the 3rd portion so we could beat the crowd out. It was so smooth walking out, there was no line or crowd at all. We even stopped by the gift shop to pickup a souvenir. We just got a hockey puck, but thought they were pretty cool and reasonably priced! ***PRICE***Tickets were a little expensive, so we did get back row seats. It's hard to compare since ATL has no professional team. The price seems about right to me, but I was hoping to be able to find cheaper ones for the back row, but still paid about 60$ a ticket. The view was good though for 60$! For Atl, we have the Braves baseball team and you can get nose bleeds for 4$. For soccer, you can sometimes get tickets around 20$ as well, but the view is so bad, you're so far, you end up watching the screens instead of the field. So now really sure if the price is good or not, I guess I'd say yes for the quality of the view but if you just wanted to experience going to a game, doesn't look like you'd be able to find anything super cheap just to be there unfortunately. ***CONCLUSION***Would definitely go back. Not particularly a hockey fan but thought the experience was fun! Definitely would be more fun for hockey fans of course haha

Bridgestone arena is located in the heart of downtown and home to the Nashville Predators. It is a huge multi-level venue that holds 19,981 people at capacity with several lounges, luxury suites, a Taproom, meeting rooms, and premier seating. It has hosted the Harlem Globe Trotters, Monster Jam, WWE, Bon Jovi, Eagles, Maxwell, Elton John, Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, Sam Smith, and my favorite James Taylor to name a few. Bathrooms are small and always have a line. The Predators' guest lounge typically has no wait. You're welcome. Parking can be a hassle. Well it is downtown!! Check the website for directions and parking information. All in all it is a descent venue to enjoy your favorite event, show, or concert.

This is an awesome arena located in the middle of downtown Nashville so you can enjoy a hockey game and enjoy a fun night out after! The best thing about visiting different hockey arena is mingling with the fans. Of course, this could also be a bad thing as I've had some not so great experiences in the past at other arenas and their Team's fans. However, Nashville have some pretty cool fans! And their arena is actually great as well. Bridgestone arena has some fantastic features and great food options. We ate prior to the game but coming in, I could have almost eaten more if my stomach was forgiving enough. The place literally smelled delicious with barbecue aromas and other delicious fares! We sat by the broadcast booth and they have sizeable screens in front of the seats. The seats were also very comfortable. I didn't think the place would be luxuriously spacious inside considering it's located downtown but it actually is and I enjoyed our visit here regardless of the game results. This arena is a must visit for hockey and non-hockey fans!

My first time at Bridgestone Arena! We went to see Maren Morris and we got there early to make sure we got the very affordable parking at Music City Center for $15.00. So nice since it is right across from Bridgestone. Highly recommend not bringing a purse since it is faster to get through security. We entered and there is nice width in the area outside and plenty of vendors for food and drink all around. It is pricey so expect one round could be 50 buck for 4 people, but now a days that is the norm. Also I was so impressed with the customer service, we had regular seats but do to the lack of space and my knee surgery ( cane and all) my husband asked at the customer service anyway we could be moved to the handicap seats, so nice and let us move. So glad because even the normal height person the seats are tight and no leg room especially if you are unable to stand and dance to the great music. Overall, would go back but have dinner and drinks before.

This is a VERY nice venue!!!!! The seats are great no matter where you are! I had no issues with sound or anything really. My first event was Kevin Hart and it was one of the smoothest experiences! I plan to see a hockey game soon!

I can only speak to Predators games, as I have yet to enjoy a concert here. The games themselves are incredible (I've been to 4). Nothing beats the raucous spirit of NHL games in an arena. The facility itself is top notch, and there isn't a bad seat in the house. They even offer a live band that plays music during TV timeouts and intermissions (in typical Nashville fashion). The Preds' goal song is Tim McGraw's "I Like, I Love it," which he rerecorded just for Bridgestone, where he mentions the Predators scoring a goal (also, in typical Nashville Fashion...#musiccity). This song is then immediately followed by the Black Keys' "Gold on the Ceiling" and an immediate crowd chant of "Hey, you suck!" directed at the opposing team. I visited Nashville a few times and caught a couple of games around 2012-2013 when my brother was a student here, and the stadium did not have near the fan-base it currently enjoys (largely due to a Cup run in 2017). The fans give the experience a ton of personality--more than I've seen at most venues. After Preds goals are announced, the fans chant the opposing goalie's name, followed by successive chants of "You suck!," and "It's all your fault!" Predators penalties are followed by chants of "Ref, you suck!" Apparently, Predators fans love to tell people how much they suck. Some I've spoken to don't like this aspect and feel its antithetical to the general civility and sportsmanship of the game. Still, it does make for a very unique experience, and I highly recommend checking out a game if given the chance. Happily, Clayton Cohn

We visited the Bridgestone arena to see Kevin Hart "Reality Check". The arena was clean, the employees were nice. We over all had a smooth experience in this arena.
