Nashville Trip Thread

by SamFels on Jan 13, 2012 5:31 PM CST

All right people, we're getting close now to our Second City Trip to Nashville, whether you're coming with us or just meeting us there. I wanted to get a thread going to figure out A)where we should be meet up before and after the game and B) to find out from those who have done the trip before some things in Nashville that those of us who haven't been are a must do. First, the meet-up. Let's get this thread going over the weekend so I can post an official meet on Monday. I know Rippy's is right across from the arena, let's start with that and open debate.

when we went to Nashville

We had our meetup at The Flying Saucer. That’s a definite must-visit. Large seating area, good food and huMANgous big beer menu. Good good stuff.

I second The Saucer.

Incredible place. Over 200 beers on tap. TWO FUCKING HUNDRED.

Downtown Nashville is a damn fine place to get wasted in. I’m living proof of that. There’s a few places I’ve been told you’re supposed to avoid (Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville being chief among them, but we didn’t go there). But really, the whole area is a plus place to go.

And I'm a witness to the wastedness of DK

We drunkenly talked over pizza at 1am and I don’t think either of us have a clue as to the topic.

Lodger

I mean lodging. Where’s everybody staying?

We're at

Drury in and Suites Nashville airport… actually was rated the 4th best hotel in Nashville, but I still may change it to Holiday Inn Opryland

Downtown is way more expensive than I thought it would be. Just saw a Holiday inn express foer 314 a night!

We're staying at the Sheraton in downtown Nashville

I think it’s on Union St

1700 block of Church Street

1-2 miles from the arena go to either Blu or Blue Genes. Four dollar cab ride at the most.

Seems as if they're having parking issues near stadium

We might park and tour downtown prior to the game so a meet up for us near stadium would be ideal.
