The Nashville Municipal Auditorium is a multi-purpose venue located in the heart of downtown Nashville. Our close proximity to the downtown hotels, Bicentennial Mall, and the Second Avenue entertainment district makes us the ideal location for your next convention, trade show, or meeting.

The Auditorium has two levels available for rental: a 9,654 seat arena floor and a 63,000 square foot exhibition floor. The two floors can be rented separately. Adjacent to the facility is a 38,000 square foot outdoor plaza that can be used independently of the building and is suitable for most outdoor activities, including rib fests, cook-offs, concerts, and parties.
