Nashville is getting a Super Bowl. NFL owners officially voted yesterday to award the 2030 Super Bowl to Nashville during their meetings in Orlando. Nashville has spent years building itself into a major tourism destination, and now it’s landed one of the biggest events on the planet. This is exactly why they built a new stadium, and it looks like that decision paid off. If you remember the NFL Draft back in 2019, Lower Broadway turned into one giant party. Hundreds of thousands of fans packed downtown . . . so you can only imagine what the Super Bowl will do for the city. The game is expected to bring in a huge boost for hotels, restaurants, bars, and local businesses all across Middle Tennessee.
