Nashville landed its first Super Bowl and a new domed stadium right across the river from Lower Broadway. Here is how the strip and the stadium connect, and why your night still runs through the honky-tonks.
Yes. NFL owners voted to award Super Bowl LXIV to Nashville for the 2029 season, with the game played in February 2030. The vote happened at the league’s spring meeting in 2026 and passed unanimously across all 32 teams. It is the first Super Bowl ever played in Tennessee, and it puts Music City alongside Miami, New Orleans, and Las Vegas as a host market.
The reason the league moved now, four years out, comes down to the new stadium. The NFL wanted a modern, enclosed venue, and Nashville is building exactly that.
The new Nissan Stadium is a fully enclosed, climate-controlled dome going up on the East Bank, right next to the current open-air stadium. A few things worth knowing:
The current stadium is set to host its final Titans regular-season game in early January 2027 before the team moves next door.
This is the part that matters for your night. The stadium sits on the East Bank of the Cumberland, directly across the water from downtown. From the foot of Lower Broadway you can walk over the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and reach the stadium side in about ten to fifteen minutes on foot. No surge pricing, no parking hunt, no highway.
That geography is the whole pitch. Most Super Bowl host stadiums sit marooned in a parking sea miles from the nightlife. Nashville is the rare city where the stadium and the bar district are one walkable bridge apart. Your pre-game beer and your post-game last call can both happen on Broadway, with the game a short stroll across the river in between.
If you are coming in for a Titans game in the new building, or for Super Bowl weekend in 2030, the strip is your staging ground. A few of the anchors, starting near the bridge and working up Broadway:
Most ground-floor honky-tonks have no cover. Tip the band, pace yourself, and know that the rooftops are where cover charges and drink minimums show up on big weekends.
We are treating this as a living guide and will update it as the stadium finishes and Super Bowl plans firm up. The verified milestones so far:
It is early, and we are not going to invent details that have not been announced. A few things are already clear. Hotels near downtown will book out fast and at peak prices. The bars closest to the pedestrian bridge will be the most fought-over real estate in the city that weekend. Venue buyouts and private parties tend to get announced a year or more ahead. When those announcements land, they will show up here first.
