Our adventures for the next few days have us in Nashville, Tennessee. Music city; home of the Grand Ole Opry, the Tennessee Titans and the Nashville Predators. We were hoping that we might be able to catch a game at the Bridgestone Arena. Lucky for us they are playing today and they were playing the Toronto Maple Leafs. Not so lucky, was that they had a ban on the sales of tickets to only those from the surrounding states. It was a little disappointing for sure.
We decided that we would go explore the iconic Broadway Street, full of bars and live music. The streets were lined elbow to elbow with people. The bars were packed with people listening to live music. The music was loud and blaring out of all the bars and I did find this a little overwhelming.
We did manage to find a roof top that wasn’t too crowded. At least here I got to check out the downtown and enjoy people watching from a distance. The one thing I did notice, was a sea of blue Toronto jerseys everywhere! I mean everywhere; every bar, every street corner, everywhere we looked there were Toronto fans. I was intrigued to find out how they got tickets.
Se we called the arena and they said we might be able to get tickets at the box office. But by the time we got to the counter any ticket we could afford was gone. After talking to a few Toronto fans, we found the trick on how to get around this ticket ban. I have to love Steve’s determination, he managed to get us tickets to the game. We were however residents of the campground address for the day according to our new credit card address. 😊 In case you were wondering there were a lot of happy Toronto fans as Toronto won the game.
