The website said all of the lots around the stadium you can not pay cash the day of. Any suggestions on good parking lots without a really long walk?

The trick to parking for games at Nissan is the same as parking for events at Bridgestone. Park on the street somewhere in SoBro. It's free and if you're the type Who's concerned someone is gonna break into your car, it does appear to be more heavily patrolled on game days.

if that's your prerequisite then you're parking in East Nashville. That also means you're not going to any bars or restaurants - those are on Lower Broad. If you go to Lower Broad count on walking. If parking in East Nashville plan on going to a tailgate or having one on your own

I posted a pic in the below thread to show you a little of what to expect

I will have my 11 year old daughter with me and def will not be partying, I want to park close as I can so we can get out of there before the drunk drivers get on the road.

If you go on Parkwhiz, you can buy a spot before going. I do it every time I go to a Titans game. I normally park on 2/3 ave and take the bridge over to the stadium. The bridge is right next to Joes Crab Shack. I took my son to the MCB when LSU and Notre Dame played. There is a lot going on downtown, easy walk to the stadium and easy to get out once the game is over. Parking in the stadium lots or anywhere on the east side of the stadium, I have found it is very difficult to get out after the game due to the way traffic is directed.

I come in Dickerson Rd and never have trouble getting out out after game. Name changes to First Street after crosses Jefferson Street. Parking is not as expensive as UT. Live in northern part of Davidson CO.

East Nashville is where all the good bars and restaurants are. Lower Broad is the absolute worst. A ripoff, too.

If you want to park cheaply and have a relatively short walk (1/4 to a 1/2 mile) try parking along Davidson Street which turns into S1st street n East Nashville. It runs along the river on the opposite side of the stadium. Goes right up to Titans Way. Looks sketchy bc the projects are nearby but it is totally safe.

That area has been gentrified and real estate is thru the roof over there. Lived there for 12 years never had a problem. Parking will be from $10-$20.

You could eat and party in 5 Points area, drive your car to the parking lots down there only a couple of miles away. No cop issues that time of day, either.

Yah, there's nothing wrong with most of East Nashville. I recommend SoBro because I'm a Gulch person.

There are several places that you can pay to park on north 1st st which is on the north end of the stadium. if you look at an aerial map, several places by the T/A (truckstops America), and you would have about a 300- 500 yard walk to the stadum. It will cost you $20-$25 to park at local businesses.

I have been to two events at Adelphia Coliseum/LP Field/Nissan Stadium and prior to both, parking in the stadium parking lots was an absolute cluster. Like, a wait two hours in line on the expressway and almost miss the start of the game cluster. One of the events was a U.S. soccer World Cup qualifier where the stadium was two-thirds empty, and it was still a disaster. I'm not coming to this game, but the next time I go up to a game at that stadium, I'm parking in downtown Nashville and walking across the bridge. That seems like the way to go, from what I can tell, though I haven't tried it yet.

It is bad if you park in the stadium parking, but where I suggested to park, you can go a few hundred more yards down to Spring St/ Jefferson St intersection T/R jump on I 65 north or south. If it is backed up you can go straight thru that intersection about another 1-2 miles and T/L on Trinity lane and jump on I 65 again. My company owns 22 PSL's to the Titan's and another at UT, and I have taken customers to many Titan's games and have no trouble getting out. I can get out of there in half the time it takes me to leave Neyland.
I will be doubling up next weekend, friday MCB, and Sunday Titans vs Texans.

I went to that soccer game. Parked downtown, easily and left just as easy. I spent more time waiting on concession stands than parking.

I go to several Titans game. I park in the same lot every time and it cost $30. You can pay with cash or use a debit/credit card. I travel I-40 East from Jackson, Tn. As I come into Nashville, I take exit 201/hwy 70 which is Charlotte Pike Rd. You will travel a mile or 2 down that road and you will come to a little corner parking lot on the left that holds about 20 cars. It will be at a redlight. Very easy to get to and get out after the game. About a 5 minute walk to stadium.

Hook me up if you ever need to sell any Titans tickets. We go all the time. I guess I need to purchase a PSL since we go so much. Lol

I wished I could brother, my biggest problem is my Knoxville office calling and wanting some of our Titans tickets but they never want to cough up any Vols tickets for me in return.

Do not purchase psls. The 8 reg season games are fine but the 2 pre season are rip offs and you buy them whether you like it or not.
