Picture this: Whether you’re new to Nashville or you’ve been here for years, sometimes we all need a little help navigating the practicalities of life (because let’s face it, we can’t spend all our time enjoying live music). That’s where we come in.

The next best thing to being in the crowd for the 2025 Super Bowl. | Photo by @followcurt
While Music City isn’t hosting the Super Bowl in the near future, Nashvillians can still get in on the action when Nissan Stadium transforms into the Verizon Super Bowl FanFest on Sunday, Feb. 9.
The event, taking place alongside all other NFL cities, will be hosted by former Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo. In addition to cheering on the teams, attendees can look forward to field access, food and drinks, live music, football challenges, and tailgate games.
Here’s what to know:
Doors open at 3 p.m.
All ages are welcome, though guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult/guardian.
Parking will be available.
Re-entry into the venue is not permitted.
The catch? FanFest is only open to Verizon customers, but they can bring a few guests. So if you’re not a customer, maybe you know someone who can score you an invite. In the meantime, request tickets.
