I’m hearing that Nashville is bidding on the 2030 NCAA Men’s Final Four. This is one of many possible huge events coming to the new stadium. “If you build it, they will come.”

Would be an excellent city to host a Final 4. Need more hotel space, though.

I don’t think a UK fan can talk about hotel space…

Dorms space is just as accommodating.

Nashville has one of the best city layouts to host big events. Plus they don't have anywhere near the crime as other large cities in the south.

Maybe next they could support their own NFL team.

Nashville has plenty of hotel rooms for a Final Four. Probably has more than frequent final four spot Indianapolis at this point.

The past 10 years, Nashville has been building 10+ hotels a year. Many of them are skyrise hotels. It's not an issue now and certainly wouldn't be by 2030. As of 2018, there were 357 hotels in Nashville with roughly 42,000 rooms. That number has grown considerably since. And that doesn't even include the thousands of air BnB properties all around the metro area. For comparison's sake, Nashville has almost double the hotel space Indianapolis has.

Nashville has replaced New Orleans for hosting professional events.

I don't disagree. I live here too. I just always think the argument ":Nashville dooesn't have hotel space to accommodate large events" is so dumb and misguided. It hosts larger non-sporting events every single year. I think Nashville can manage hosting a few basketball games.

Will be another shithole in 10 years. The same people who did the Atlanta interstates must have done Nashville too.

It's more so neither city was ever designed or expected to become huge cities like they have and there's nothing that can be done to fix them at this point. I honestly have no idea how or why Nashville all the sudden became a destination city. It was nothing like that even as recently as 15 years ago. It wasn't even the largest city in Tennessee until the past 5 or so years.

Different demos.

But yeah, it's getting too crowded for what it was designed for. They need to go ahead and finish the 840 loop, they'll desperately need it in 10 years, which is how long it'll take.

yeah, I see we are in the same town, i know back in 2010 or 2014, FIFA said Nashville didn't have enough hotel's rooms to accommodate qualifying matches and since then it's been almost non stop building of hotel's downtown or outlining areas
but if you live here, you know the traffic headaches.

I moved my job down to Franklin 6 years ago and do everything possible to avoid ever having to drive up to Nashville
