Court Square Lot / Court Square Garage
300 James Robertson Pkwy, Nashville, TN 37201
Hours & posted rules
24 hours, Mon-Sun
PMC's Court Square facility on James Robertson Pkwy, about 12 minutes (estimated) to Nissan Stadium over the Woodland St Bridge. Open 24 hours. No rates published. Conflicts: PMC page only.
Downtown Zone 1 street meters (Broadway, 2nd-5th Ave, Commerce, Church, Deaderick) are enforced 24/7, Sundays and nights included. Pay by ParkMobile or pay station; 10-hour max, then leave the zone for 30 minutes. Disability placards park free but must follow time limits. Lower Broadway between 2nd and 5th is closed to cars Fri-Sat 7:30pm-1am, so those spaces are out on weekend nights. Residential permits are not valid at meters. Conflicts: an old SpotAngels post still says meters are free after 6 p.m. and Sundays, which Metro contradicts; newest rate evidence is just over a year old.
Expired-meter fine not published by Metro; press cites about $70-73 (unverified). After the 10-hour max you must leave the zone for 30 minutes.

Fifth + Broadway Garage
598B Broadway (second entrance on Rep. John Lewis Way N)
Hours & posted rules
Open daily, no overnight parking
The garage the arena and the Ryman point you to. Pay on entry on event nights. Reservations not taken here.
Hume Fogg school lot on 7th Ave N, about five minutes to Bridgestone and the Ryman. Public only evenings and weekends. Drive-up rates apply but no amounts are posted. Conflicts: parking.com lists it under SP+ while Metropolis claims it; hours come from parking.com alone.
McKendree Center garage on 6th Ave N, about five minutes to the Ryman. It is standing in for the closed Library Garage: library patrons get up to 90 minutes for $4 with QR validation (reported March 2026), which could end when the Library Garage reopens. No event rate. Conflicts: rates come only from the Metropolis page.
Open daily to the public; exact hours not published
Big Metro-owned convention center garage right next to Bridgestone Arena, a few more blocks to the Ryman. Normal tiered rates are posted (effective June 2025), but on event nights a special rate is posted at the entrance, so you only learn the price when you pull up. No in-and-out on one ticket, no trailers. Predators season-ticket holders can reserve by phone (615-770-2355); everyone else drives up. Conflicts: the address is listed three ways (701 Demonbreun, 201 5th Ave S, 201 Rep. John Lewis Way S) and the convention center's own parking page could not be read.
Selected block faces inside the downtown and Gulch business districts (see NDOT zone map)
Hours & posted rules
24 hours, 7 days
Economy Zone 8 meters are the cheapest long stay on the street downtown: a flat $2 an hour, so 10 hours costs $20 instead of $42 on standard meters. Only some block faces qualify; confirm Zone 8 on the posted sign or in ParkMobile. Conflicts: Metro publishes no street list and there is no 2026 or driver confirmation of the flat rate.
Metropolis garage at One Nashville on 3rd Ave N, about five minutes to the Ryman. Drive-up tiers only go to 10 hours, with no daily max or event rate listed. Conflicts: the Metropolis rate page is the only source.
