Bridgestone Arena Free Parking Location
Bridgestone Arena Free Parking exists at Lot R of Nissan Stadium for Nashville Predators games. Although it is free to park, the round-trip shuttle that runs from the free lot to the arena costs $3 per person.
This Bridgestone Arena Free Parking Lot is not available for all Bridgestone Arena events, and is dependent on the availability of Nissan Stadium parking. The price of the shuttle is subject to change, so I would advise you to confirm with arena staff prior to event (view contact information).
There are over 1,000 parking spaces available at this Bridgestone Arena Free Parking location. When available, this lot opens two hours before the event. Shuttles will operate on 10-minute loops from two hours before an event until midnight (source).
This parking lot is located on the other side of the Cumberland River, and if you don’t take the shuttle, this lot will require a 15-30 minute walk. There is a pedestrian bridge that crosses the Cumberland River. Once you cross that pedestrian bridge, you reach 1st Avenue, which is about 4 blocks east of Bridgestone Arena.
For visual reference, Nissan Stadium Lot R is located south of Nissan Stadium (Tennessee Titans home stadium). This lot is actually a split into two different lots separated by the Pedestrian Bridge that crosses the Cumberland River.
There are entrances into Nissan Stadium Lot R on South 1st Street (accessed from Davidson Street). Click here to view the entrance into this free parking area (and you can also see the pedestrian bridge in the background).
