The traffic management plan for Saturday’s 11 a.m. sold out football game between the University of Tennessee and the University of Virginia at Nissan Stadium will resemble that used for regular season Titans games. The Woodland Street Bridge will close to regular traffic at 8:30 a.m. and will be available to pedestrians only through the conclusion of the game.
Stadium gates will open at 9 a.m. Stadium parking lots will open at 7 a.m. to fans with parking passes (parking on the stadium campus is sold out). Those who drive to Nissan Stadium without a parking pass will be directed to seek parking downtown.
Rideshare drop off and pickup locations at Nissan Stadium this season will be inside of stadium parking lot E (North) and the intersection of S. 2nd and Crutcher Streets (South). Signage will direct fans to the rideshare locations postgame. Officers will be working to ensure rideshare drivers adhere to the drop off and pickup locations, which are part of the overall traffic management plan.
The Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge, which connects East Nashville to downtown, will be open to eastbound and westbound traffic until the beginning of mass egress. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, all lanes of the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge will be open to westbound traffic only, which should more quickly disperse congestion around Nissan Stadium.
Those attending the game are reminded of the NFL’s league-wide restrictions, implemented in 2013, on what can be brought into stadiums. Anything larger than a clutch style purse must be a clear plastic bag, medical items excluded. Nissan Stadium security staff will be enforcing the bag policy.
