Thanks Jonesy for the Pete Weber hookup. I was able to pause the game to get it in sync with the radio and it was so much better than the NBC crew. I plan to do the same thing for the Finals. Do you guys have game dates yet? If there's a weekend game, I expect a bunch of Atlanta folks will come up and hang out. I know I will.

With that game on a Saturday during CMA Fest there's no way I'm not Ubering downtown even though it'll probably cost like $90

Um don't you like myself work on the northern part of downtown? I thought you normally parked at work and walked. That's what I will likely end up doing.
Well, I do, I'm just under the assumption that I won't want to have my car because I live 15 miles outside of downtown but truth be told that's probably a better idea to just park there and deal with the car on Sunday.

Here is a bit of planning information for June 3. There are SEVERAL events in downtown Nashville that day. Parking will be extremely difficult:
1. Sold out concert at Ascend Amphitheater
2. Preds game
3. Sold out concert at the Ryman
4. Walking Dead Convention (Walker Stalker) at the Music City Center. They are expecting 20,00 attendees.

5. Typical Nashville summer Saturday night on Broadway
Might as well add it to the list.
Maybe we'll just come downtown around June 2...
Glad I have a parking pass for Pinnacle, but I'm still going to get downtown as early as I can. I wonder if they'll factor all these events in and try to get an afternoon game?

I park in Pinnacle as well but I've always wondered how they allocate our passes so as not to over fill the garage.
Anyway, you can always tell when new people are parking there. They'll creep up and through each lower level thinking that they'll see an open space. Just drive straight up to level three, at the minimum, and go from there.
Yeah, for me it's level 4 so I can avoid backing into the space.
I'd say they have a general idea how many passes have been sold for each venue for each event and sell other spaces to general public accordingly. I have seen it closed for all but pass parking. One time I was about 20 minutes late and it was full and parking closed, but I had a pass. They sent me to the lower level, so I guess that's their contingency parking. I was so lost trying to get out of there, didn't know the pattern!
Fook! No wonder my $70 a night room is $165. Does anyone know of a no tell motel where they rent rooms by the hour. That might be my only chance.
Is there a "fan guide" for the arena? Trying to figure out what (if any) restrictions there are for cameras, purses, etc.

"Intoxicated Guests are not admitted into Bridgestone Arena or Bridgestone Arena Plazas at any time."
Well this is just simply false in every possible way.
Weird, I missed that and ended up at the FAQ instead with much more useless information such as:
"The camera policy varies from event to event. Contact our box office for more information. Absolutely no video recorders are allowed in the building."
You'd think they only have the info on one page. Thanks for the info.
Uh huh. (Well of COURSE I know!) It's even fairly close to the arena on Hermitage/Lebanon Rd right past Fessler's Lane near Mt. Olivet Cemetery. I think it's $29/3 hrs. so you're not going to save much.

Well, if it wasn't that the wife's car already had the issues with the remote starter freezing the car up, and the price of transport down getting prohibitive, that clinches it for me. 
...However, I am free sometime in late July for an off-season get together...

Sounds good JW! Let us know.
