Thanks again borovy3488......I hope to be somewhere in the same vicinity....look for the White Ford Explorer with FINS2RH license plate from Ohio....

I have three cheap seats available for the show. All of them are singles.

Hmmmm........
Unfortunately I have no CHEAP way to get there. I have no CHEAP accomodations reserved. I'd have to fly there........use public transport or rent a car........and prolly pay a premium for a well located room. Sounds like a Nashville roadtrip would be a Ca$hville roadtrip!

so do we have a final answer yet on the tailgating or pre parties ? time is ticking away & i'm growing older but not up. just needing to know where we can get our gameplan together. By the way is there anyone on here that's coming from lexington , tn. ?

We are just going to hit the mentioned spots. Will find some people tailgating somewhere .

Looks like I know where I'm going!! If anyone else is going to tailgate before the concert, I'll be set up in that lot. Looking forward to seeing some of you guys there! I'll head that way around 11am or noon. The walk seems to be only around 10 minutes from that lot according to google.

So happy it looks like tailgating is a go in TN. Looking forward to coming from Philly and meeting up with new friends. This is were we will be around 12 with our rent a car and
cooler(/suitcase)!!!

Great news. Thanks for everyone's inquiries into this. I looked this up on Google maps and can't find Korean vt St. But did find he lot that borders the others. Anyways we will be in he lots aroundo
noon setting up shop. Hope to see lots of people there. I really like meeting new phriends.

Any Nashville folks know what a going rate to park from early afternoon into the night would be? And where would be safe to park? TY in advance. (Oh, and I went to the news page and saw the photo of the Margaritiaville building. Sorry, I thought it was a different one! )

Parking costs depend on how close to the arena you park, whatever else may be going on downtown (Ryman show, Hard Rock event, etc) and what day (weekend or weekday). For Buffett's Saturday May 1 concert expect to pay $15-25 per space. As far as safe goes downtown Nashville is about like any other medium sized city. There is safety in numbers (park near lotsa other pholks) and don't stray into dark, lonely looking areas. A cheaper parking lot further out of downtown means a longer, lonelier walk. Most pay lots have attendants on duty Fri and Sat nites but it is still not a good idea to leave things visible in your car when you park it.

That's AWESOME news!!! I'll see you there! If you don't mind me asking, what's the going rate per space in that lot?

If you reserve early, it's $10/space. If you arrive the day of event without reserving, it's special event prices.

In a few hours from now, it'll be ONE WEEK until we get there !!! And I haven't even started to pack.

Friday weather: Sunny, High 75, Low 56
Saturday weather: 30% Isolated Thunderstorms, High 76, Low 57
Sunday weather: don't ask.

I guess I'll pack rain gear in addition to my flowered shirts.

Don't worry! I'll be at the Nashville show. I just had a couple people back out on me, so I am trying to get rid of extra seats. Mom is doing MUCH better!

Same here. What's the number? I'll definitely call ahead. Doesn't hurt to save a few bucks!

Can anyone tell me which lot they booked for tailgating? And how far is the parking lot from the Sommet Center?
I tried to call Sean Bowman but they are closed on Saturday and Sunday. I want to make sure which is the right
lot to book my parking spot. They have about 6-7 parking lots and since I have never been to Nashville, not quite familiar
with all the streets.....The general phone number is 888-359-0089 or 615-238-2250.....Thanks everyone for your help!!
OMG one week from today we'll be there!!!

The lot they're talking about is the one bordered by these streets:
2nd ave.
Molloy St.
Korean Veterans Blvd.
3rd ave.
If you google-map it you'll be able to see it.

Thanks...I think I've found the right lot, and it looks like the address is 201 4th Avenue North...
but I'll check google maps to be sure...anyhow I cannot reserve today cause they are closed..
I'll try to contact Sean Bowman on Monday to reserve....I appreciate the help you all
have given me!!
