Nashville Prepares For Garth Brooks Concerts

Massive crowds are expected to arrive in Nashville starting one week from today (Dec. 16) when Garth Brooks’ sold out series of Bridgestone Arena shows kicks off. Nashville Downtown Partnership is helping with logistical efforts, as parking is expected to be scarce. Full dates for the shows, which include guests Trisha Yearwood and Karyn Rochelle, are included below.

“This is a unique opportunity” said Tom Turner, President & CEO, Nashville Downtown Partnership. “We have 150,000 ticket buyers and it’s not often we have that many exposures in such a very short time. The community rallied in support during the May floods and that effort is being matched once again in order to help this go smoothly. Where else can you find an artist doing 9 shows in one location for 150,000 fans and all to assist in the recovery efforts….not to mention they will have a great time.”

Free parking will be available at LP Field for December 16, 17, 20, 21, and 22 shows. Round-trip shuttle service to these lots will be available for $3 per person. Advance parking at the Pinnacle Garage is available for $10 plus Ticketmaster fees here. Up to date parking information is available at www.parkitdowntown.com.

In other Garth Brooks news, the artist will appear on Larry King Live at 8 pm CT tomorrow (December 10) as part of the long-time CNN host’s final week of shows. The hour segment covers topics from the Tennessee flood concerts to Brooks’ Vegas residency to iTunes to family. King’s other final week guests include Angelina Jolie and Jon Bon Jovi.
