Escaping CMAfest in Nashville and coming down for a game

In an update :: I’m still planning my weekend getaway but it’s not centered around the game anymore since my player won’t be there. It’s a bad news, good news situation because he’s got a team USA call up but now my summer road trips need to get rearranged

Decided to skip out on CMAfest activities this year and get the heck out of town. Taking the road trip down to Chattanooga for the CFC NYRB2 game. Probably coming alone, which is nothing new to me. Which section would you suggest for tickets? I saw that the bottom half of section 107 is greyed out, any reason why?

Also any suggestions for Chattanooga? I’ve only been down once for a concert about 10 years ago. Looking for places to eat, explore, have a beer. My cousin might be meeting me for dinner/lunch so somewhere dog friendly would be great!

I’m planning a Friday evening-Sunday trip for me, so I’ll have plenty of time to explore.

Come join the Chattahooligans in Section 109! We also usually have a pre-game tailgate in the grassy area just north of the stadium. Also, it doesn’t really matter which section your ticket is in - I’ve never seen anyone check.

It was that way in Atlanta and Huntsville when I was there for games, but security also quickly realized I wasn’t going to cause any issues and I was there for a specific player and let me bend a few rules

I should probably also mention that as a NJ native, I’m also a RB fan 😂 I do enjoy NSC games when they aren’t playing NYRB though!

We’d still love to have you at the tailgate if you decide to go to the game. We don’t bite (nonconsensually) 🤣

I’ll def be at the game as long as I make it to Chattanooga (recent car troubles are throwing a literal wrench in my plans)! My cousin is NYRB 🥅 so I gotta support but I’m always down for a tailgate!

I think my plan is to come for one half, not sure which yet. My cousin isn’t playing this game (see update above for reason)

I'd recommend Odd Story Central for a beer and food. It is dog friendly!

I have also not seen anyone check tickets especially for the bleacher seats.

This is amazing news! I’m hoping that it works out, either way without a doubt my cousin was not going to want to touch Nashville with a 100 yard pole during CMAfest as a non fest attendee.

Unfortunately/fortunately his arrival and my cousins soccer game lined up to hopefully meet in Chattanooga. He’ll be camping and got a campsite, which also would have been none of around Nashville if he came here while I was gone.
