Pittsburgh Penguins at Bridgestone Arena, Nashville — 21 Nov 2026

For attendees arriving by train, the nearest Amtrak station is Nashville Union Station. This historic landmark is located approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from Bridgestone Arena, making it a manageable walk of about 25-30 minutes or a very short taxi or rideshare trip. Union Station primarily serves Amtrak services connecting Nashville to various cities across the United States, with key routes including the Music City Star commuter rail, though its primary function for long-distance travel is through Amtrak. While the Music City Star offers regional service, direct Amtrak services from major US cities like New York or Los Angeles will involve longer journey times and transfers. Union Station offers ticketing services, waiting areas, and is generally accessible, though specific ADA accessibility should be confirmed with Amtrak directly for each service.

Several bus routes serve the area around Bridgestone Arena, making public transportation a viable option for many visitors. Key bus stops are conveniently located within a short walking distance of the arena on Broadway and surrounding streets. The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) of Nashville operates numerous routes that converge downtown, providing connections to various neighborhoods and surrounding communities. Routes such as the #2, #6, and #7 are known to pass through the downtown core and are often accessible from different parts of the city. While dedicated 24-hour bus services might be limited, the MTA offers extended service hours on many routes, especially on weekends, to accommodate event schedules. Journey times from the heart of downtown are typically very short, usually under 10 minutes, depending on traffic and the specific route.
