The day we arrived in Nashville the women's NCAA championship basketball game between Notre Dame and Connecticut was played at the Bridgestone Arena. Downtown was packed until the game began.
Nashville is best known for its music scene, particularly country music, and other forms of entertainment. Downtown Nashville is filled with clubs and bars featuring country music performers. The Grand Ole Opry was at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville until it moved in 1974 to a location less than 10 miles away from downtown. Nashville also has been the home to various country tv shows, such as the now defunct Hee Haw. Gospel and Christian music companies are located in Nashville. There also are active jazz and theater scenes in the city.
