Stadium Parking and Directions Stadium Information Buy Tickets Bowl Information@UKSportsNetwork 7 Nissan Stadium Protocols N issan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, serves as the home of the NFL’s Tennes- see Titans and hosts a number of other sport- ing and entertainment events each year. Here are a few factors to consider when visiting the stadium this season to ensure your visit goes as smoothly as possible. Parking for Nissan Stadium Parking in downtown Nashville can be expensive. Couple that with a major event taking place at Nissan Stadium and you’ve got a seriously daunting task on your hands. Unless you’re staying downtown and have already shelled out $20 – $40 for a parking spot, you may want to consider alternative travel options. Generally, it’s easier to utilize a rideshare program like Uber when visiting downtown Nashville. The stadium lists two specific rideshare drop-off locations that allow for “quick pickup and drop-off at a location a short distance away from the venue.” Keep in mind, snagging a ride after an event will take some extra time and patience. For quicker access, try walking across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge to a corner where traffic is less congested. Alternatively, parking passes are avail- able online via the Nissan Stadium Ticket Office. Guests can also reserve cash lots in advance or pay the day of the event. Nissan Stadium COVID-19 protocol and safety restrictions Nissan Stadium is constantly adjusting its stadium policies to best protect the public. Because of this, it’s always wise to update yourself on the latest facility guidelines be- fore visiting. The stadium currently operates at full capacity and no longer requires visitors to wear masks. Face masks are, however, still highly encouraged among all non-vaccinat- ed patrons. Upon arriving at the stadium, all patrons undergo a security screening via a metal de- tector. A clear bag policy is enforced, where clear bags up to 12” x 12” x 6” are wel- come. Non-transparent wallets and cases larger than 4.5” x 6.5”, on the other hand, are prohibited. For limited contact and quicker entry at the gate, the sta- dium encourages guests to leave all bags all at home. Leave your cash at home Once inside the stadium, a vari- ety of concession stands are available where patrons can snag food and drink options, including burgers, hot dogs, funnel cakes, soda, beer and vodka-infused frozen lemonade. Those who try to pay for their tasty goods in cash, however, will be quickly turned away. Cashiers accept credit cards, debit cards and mobile payments only. This restriction applies to purchases from all vendors, concessions, bars, retail and stadium parking locations. Patrons equipped with cash can visit select box office windows to convert their money into $20 gift cards to use throughout the stadium. The stadium instated these payment re- strictions in response to the COVID-19 pan- demic and remain in place as other guide- lines begin to slacken. When attending an event at Nissan Stadi- um, a little planning goes a long way. Next time you visit, plan ahead and save yourself some major frustration on game day.You can enjoy FREE * grocery delivery, 2X Fuel Points and more for as low as $59/year. *$35 order minimum.
