Bridgestone Arena Seating Chart
Bridgestone Arena anchors Lower Broadway in downtown Nashville as home of the NHL Predators. Known as one of the loudest buildings in hockey, it also hosts the CMA Awards and major concert tours, with honky-tonks lining the street right outside the doors.
Sections at Bridgestone Arena
Here are the 6 main sections on the Bridgestone Arena chart. Ticket price, distance, and sightline all follow from which one you're in, so find yours on this list before you commit — and remember configurations move: a concert, a game, and a private buyout each use the room differently.
- Lower bowl 100s — full ring around the ice and stage floor
- Club level 200s — wider seats with indoor lounge access
- Upper bowl 300s — steep second deck wrapping the building
- Glass seats — first rows along the boards for hockey
- Suites along both sidelines
- End-stage GA floor for concerts
Best seats at Bridgestone Arena
For Predators games, lower sections 102-104 and 116-118 near center ice balance price and sightline. For concerts, 100-level sections facing the stage stay close while the 200s give a full-room view without the upper-deck climb.
Tips before you go
Park in the lots along 5th and 6th rather than fighting Broadway traffic. The plaza doors open early on event nights, and the Predators standing-room rail behind section 303 is a cheap way in for a sold-out game.
How to read the Bridgestone Arena seating chart
Bridgestone Arena seats 17,159 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, and its chart is organized into 6 named sections — Lower bowl 100s, Club level 200s, Upper bowl 300s, Glass seats, Suites along both sidelines, and End-stage GA floor for concerts. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
Every Bridgestone Arena seat is really the sum of three choices: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. Put End-stage GA floor for concerts and Lower bowl 100s side by side and the gap shows up immediately — in level, in price tier, and often in which half of the Nashville room you land in. The best-seats notes above settle it for Bridgestone Arena; just verify section, row, and seat on the official map before you pay.
For scale: at 17,159 seats, Bridgestone Arena ranks 6th of the 12 Tennessee venues in this guide by capacity — FedExForum (17,794) is the next size up, FirstBank Amphitheater (7,500) the next size down.
Building a seating chart for an event at Bridgestone Arena
If your event lands at or near Bridgestone Arena — a corporate block, a reception, a team dinner — start from the venue's real geography: sections like Lower bowl 100s and End-stage GA floor for concerts and the tiers around them set the footprint. Rebuild that footprint in the maker with rounds for the dinner, rows for the program, and a head table where the format wants one, then assign guests and export a PDF for the Nashville event-services team. You won't need anywhere near the full 17,159-seat configuration; private blocks live in clubs, suites, and adjacent banquet rooms — exactly the scale the tool handles.
Hosting a private event at Bridgestone Arena?
From dinner rounds to program rows to head tables, lay out your Bridgestone Arena event the way the room will actually run. The maker supports up to 500 seats and exports a print-ready PDF for the Nashville venue's event staff.
