    The location is fantastic right on broad street. The arena is beautiful and modern. I've seen 2 concerts here. The sound was great. Both times we stayed in hotels within walking distance. The bar scene after a show is top notch. They also let my son who serves in the army and 100 other soldiers attend a predators game for free. Thank you Bridgestone arena.

    While working locally I was fortunate enough to see a hockey game here. The fan base is enthusiast and the arena was buzzing. The venue offers plenty of food and drink options at the average cost of “event prices”. In true Nashville fashion there was a live band during intermission. There were a few very nice team stores scattered around the building were, if you search enough, you can find some good deals. Lots of stairs. The team lost but it was a great experience.

    Wow! This place is really cool to see!! One of my favorite hockey arenas. Staff was great. Drinks were good. They have quite the variety on alcoholic drink choices. The fans are phenomenal!! The graphics in the ice are amazing. I don’t think there are any bad seats in the arena. The band is a fun touch. You 100% must see an NHL game here!

    Bridgestone Arena is the home of the Nashville Predators! It’s absolutely beautiful, easy to access, well staffed, and clean. We had a fantastic time at the Predators game and we are really looking forward to the next trip. Pack a jacket if your headed to the game, it gets colder as the game goes on. Enjoy!

    My wife and I were in Sec 208, we chose these seats instead of floor seats to avoid the crowd, and because there is an actual bar with bartender a few feet from your seat in these sections. Awesome view, good seats with space, your entrance is no line, no crowd on this level at all, had a blast! Grab this section if you are looking to avoid the crowd and have a good view.

    Nice rink. Friendly, lively fans, bright and spacious. Strange though there are no food concessions on the second floor, only drink. Audio needs improvement. This is Nashville, I think you can find some good sound reinforcement folks nearby 😁.

    Bridgestone Arena is the best hockey venue to which I've been. Every time the Flyers are in town I try and catch a game against the Preds, along with several other Preds games throughout each season. Concerts are also low stress and the vantage points are solid no matter where you're sitting. The staff clearly takes excellent care of the facility. One could almost eat off the floors, the bathrooms are kept in excellent shape despite thousands of people trying to use them in less than three hours, and the vendors provide excellent refreshments while also being plentiful, cutting down line lengths. Broadway is just outside the door, so any debauchery can be had before and after events.

    I'll just say it first, since it was the biggest nuisance. The seats up top are not big hip or long leg friendly. Squeezing into a seat for a 3 or 4 hour show was not fun. The food options were great as well as the drinks, but I can't get over how we paid $200 plus dollars to see a show and be wildly uncomfortable the whole time. We won't be back to this venue.

    I have been to 3 different shows at this venue this month and they have all been amazing. Absolutely wonderful staff, medical team and overall vibe. If you have a headache and need some tylenol, you can just go ask the medic team, not a problem. You aren't harrased at the door or on the floor. I definitely recommend.

    I'm sure a lot of people are going to review this place and everybody knows what Bridgestone arena is. However, generally most seats are good for most of the concerts. It's not like Nissan stadium where you're sitting a mile away from the stage. Audio inside is pretty good. Lots of good food and accessible bars and stands. Always had a good time at Bridgestone. Cool thing about going to concerts here is that everybody lives in Nashville and rarely do they ever have just the people that are listed for the concerts. The predators games are great as well. Well mannered fans unlike some other hockey stadiums you might go to. Enjoy a good location lots to do downtown when you get done or beforehand.

    Visited for the Queen concert. Not a whole lot to say about the venue, it was a typical arena experience. The chairs were perhaps a smidge narrow and the acoustics of the venue weren't anything to praise. There didn't appear to be very many attendants but the one I managed to speak with was very pleasant. The lines for the concessions were excessive, but I've never been to an arena event where they weren't, so that was to be expected. Externally the building looks fine, but the grounds, unfortunately had several homeless people camping on it.

    Went to see Kiss, and was very impressed with the stadium. One of the best arenas we've been to. Kiss was amazing, and the venue was perfect.

    Beautiful arena, fairly modern. Very good seats on the lower bowl, albeit tight on leg space. Predators always sold out and crowd is loud. Good food options, but mostly stadium food (not a lot of healthy options). If you walk around you'll discover a lot more vendors and stalls. Smooth entry, no delays.

    We stayed downtown so we didn't have to worry about parking. Lines went pretty quick. There were a lot of food options inside which was really nice. There were limited access points for floor seating that made getting to our seats more difficult. Kiss was excellent. I wasn't sure what to expect with their advanced age. However, it was evident early on that they were going to be great.

    Thank you Bridgestone Arena for giving one of, if not the best live sport experiences of my life. The stadium initially felt small but when the crowd started to fill up and people started doing chants man it got loud in there! The food was good, services were upto the mark and the people working there were really helpful. Amazing experience!

    First time I’ve ever been to this arena, we watched a Predators game and it was really awesome. The arena feels smaller than some I’ve been to but it is not lacking in food or drinks. Everything was well kept and neat, the seats were comfy. We sat in lower bowl section 116 and had a really good view of the rink. Would definitely recommend to another friend and will be coming back sometime soon!! GO PREDATORS!!!

  • 3/5 Robert W. 5 months ago on Google
    Seems like a great place to see a concert. Was a little annoying when security started yelling at me to move on because I stopped with my wife when they were going through her purse. They really didn't make clear what the problem was before they started getting loud . How dare I stand with the person I came with so we don't get separated in a large crowd coming into an unfamiliar venue.

    We visited Bridgestone Arena for the PBR Teams Rodeo event. The venue is big and nice. The concessions are very pricey and cashless. The seats are comfy but a little snug. Overall I give it 4 stars and would definitely go back.

    I went here for a Jonas Brothers concert. The venue was well-staffed, clean, and the signage made it easy to find my seat. Would definitely go to an event here again.

    We just saw Depeche Mode live at this Arena! Wow what a beautiful arena! The staff was very kind, informative and professional. Depeche was incredible! The arena’s sound acoustics were superb.

    Beautiful arena with attention to detail. It feels very modern, but it's nearly 30 years old. The seats are very comfortable. Great layout, which made getting to our seats super easy. Friendly staff.

    Went for the first time to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Concert! It was crowded and packed of course but I had a nice experience and loved every minute of the concert. I'd recommend walking around downtown Nashville too, plenty of things to see, do, and eat :)

    My sister and I brought my nephew to see slipknot a few weeks ago, and I was very surprised at several things. 1. How easy it was to find parking. We literally were able to find parking within a 3 minute walk to the venue doors. Now, it was not cheap parking, at $30 a car. But we didn’t even break a sweat walking to the doors so it was worth the price. 2. How hassle free it was to get inside. Everything moved very smoothly. 3. How rude the folks working at the door were over something as small as being asked where the bathroom is. I understand that their job sucks. I’ve known enough people who work at venues to completely understand that, but it’s a simple question, so why be rude about it? 4) how cheap the snack bar food was and how many food options they had available. From brisket to biscuit, they probably have it all. 5) again, how rude the employee at the concession stand was. Unacceptable. If you don’t work well with people don’t work at entertainment venues. Once we were in the door, had gotten snacks, and used the restroom, which was very clean btw, we went to our seats in section C I believe it was. From there we had an amazing time with a great view that looked easy to enjoy from any section, and I will definitely return for future concerts.

    Went to see Wynonna Judd Absolutely amazing place! Parking was cheap and VERY close to arena. The stadium it's was the cleanest stadium that I have ever been in, including the bathrooms. The seats are padded and comfortable without any torn materials. They aren't so close you feel like you are sitting on the person next to you. The floors inside the stadium didn't have one piece of garbage on it and everyone working there went out of their way to help you! I was amazed how organized and especially how clean it was! It was so clean, you would have thought the concert was the very first time it was used! I have never been so impressed with an arena/stadium in my life!!

    This was my first experience with wrestling but it was entertaining. I think I was more entertained by the crowd but if you’re looking for a good time Bridgestone arena is a great venue for any sports event!! The price was not bad and after Covid…. It feels like almost back to normal.

    Unfortunately tonight's event was "Phone Free" so inside the venue it was locked away safely in a Yondr bag. Which is the reason I'm docking a star. It complicated things immensely as far as entry and exit but it's understandable. My seat was section 203 and I had absolutely no problems finding it. The entire seating area was cleaner than your average movie theater. Downstairs provides everything a person could want from apparel to Chili Dogs and Cold Beer. The middle tier was nothing but alcoholic beverages and a few bathrooms. Kevin Hart's show was spectacular, the venue really accentuated his performance. Sound was good, lighting was awesome and only one screen glitch occurred. It's amazing how spacious it feels even with the amount of people this place can hold. I look forward to future events.
