May I make a suggestion if you are coming to Nashville?

If any of you have never been to an NHL game I strongly suggest getting tickets to the Preds game on December 27 
Tickets are usually pretty cheap and even the upper deck seats are good. Nashville does a GREAT job supporting and promoting the Preds. It's always sold out and is a great family atmosphere
They also play December 30th at 7:00 at home against St. Louis. This is a big rival game and these two teams HATE each other.
ETA: They also have all you can eat zones and for $10 or so more you can add all you can drink beer

Purchased Preds-Blues tickets last night. Looking forward to it. It does look like they've got great fan support and an awesome arena.

Im not going to a hockey game if Im in Nashville. But to hit a few honky tonks and watch some of the best entertainment in the country for free, Im all in.
Nothing like watching and listening to aspiring artists and song writers putting on a show at each pub. My kinda place. And if we find a gal singing 80's music, Im going for two beers at that stop.

December 27th? But the game ain't until Dec 30th. This is the Tiger Rant, not the OT. We're poor.

As an LSU Alum who lived in Nashville for 3 years after graduation I recommend going to the Pred's game as well. Even if you aren't a hockey fan, the games are a blast.
Also, go support Mettenburger and go see the Titan's play the Colts the next day. The Titans consider the Colts a big rival.

No thanks.
How the hell can I see a small arse puck from the upper deck? Thanks for the offer though.

If you get there early make the time to tour the Opry Land Mills Hotel. Breaux Cajun Resturant is also very good. Stuffed smoked Pork Chop with andouille sausage. and Boiled Craw Fish. owner is originally from lafayette.

<< Lived in Nashville for 10 years.
Love the preds. Go see them. You will be blown away with how awesome live hockey is at the NHL level.

Press games are a blast even if you don't think you like hockey. And you might run into Carrie or Taylor.

I was going to suggest the same. I've been a STH for a few years now and love going to Preds games.
The Preds are doing very well now but have a tough slate of games this month. That particular game will be the 2nd of a back to back with the Preds playing Chicago in their barn the night before.
If you do go, warm-ups begin 30 minutes before the game starts. You can head down to the glass and get a close look at the players before the game begins if you like. If you get seats in the lower bowl keep your head up during the game for flying pucks/souvenirs. They do come over the glass from time to time and could hurt you if you're not paying attention. Lastly, unless it's an emergency, stay in your seat while the puck is in play. TV timeouts are the best times, if not during intermission, to head out to the concourse. Nashville also has live bands that play during the intermissions. Some nights it is a major local act or simply a band trying to make their name.
There is also a live pre and post game show outside sections 104/105 if you want to get on TV and wave to the locals. People love seeing themselves on TV for some reason. Go figure.
Regardless, you won't be disappointed. Especially if we win!

great tip...I don't watch hockey on tv, but have never failed to enjoy myself when attending in person...

I guess if youve never been to a hockey game go ahead but u are missing out on what Nashville is famous for.
To go to a hockey game while visiting Nashville?, Just seems like a total waste to me. But knock yourselves out. NHL hockey is a good visit but it isnt like there arent teams in the south for u to catch a game if its on your bucket list.
To each their own...

As yall can see by the user name, I live here in Nashville. 24 years old and just graduated from grad school at Lipscomb. Thought I'd come on here and give some Recommendations for everyone coming up.
Hotels: Walking Distance
The Omni. Hampton Inn. Renaissance Hotel. Hotel Indigo. Short uber or can away are any hotels located by Vandy.
Nightlife:
Nashville is broken down into 4 night life areas.
1. Obviously Broadway. Honkytonk Central, Tootsies, The Stage, Rippy's, and occasionally Paradise Park (cheap Pitchers), are where I go. However, the new Acme building just opened up and it is incredible. 4 stories, restaurants on all floors and bars everywhere. Typically it's a classier place. It's ok the corner of 1st and Broadway.
Like I said, I'm 24 so I go to Demonbreun St. Most of the time. It's right there near Vanderbilt and Belmont. More of College crowd. Not saying older folks wouldn't have a blast. Tin Toof (my favorite), South, and Dan Mcguiness.
Then you have midtown which is basically walking distance from Demonbreun. Winners and Losers are the best bars in my opinion. Rebar is fun sometimes.
East Nashville- gonna keep this short and say hipster.
Food:
High end classier places.
The Southern, Whiskey Kitchen, San Anejo, Virago, Kayne Prime, Merchants, ACME building.
Hope this helps!! Yall have no idea how excited I am to see the P & G take over Nashville. GEAUX TIGERS
