How to avoid the worst of it today

The Country Music Hall of Fame Morning Go early; the music downtown does not start until late morning.
Centennial Park Afternoon A large park west of downtown, well away from the outdoor stages.
The Grand Ole Opry House Evening The show is nine miles east, so your evening is not on the bar strip.

Where the crowds are

Lower Broadway, the five blocks by the river: Bars, pedal taverns and walking groups fill the pavement here.
The pedestrian bridge over the Cumberland: About sixty thousand people cross it into the bar strip on a home game day.
Broadway at the arena entrance: An arena of 17,159 seats empties straight onto the busiest blocks.
