Nashville (and its tourists) soaked in Super Bowl celebration, Music City style
Confused tourists, a heavy downpour, a drone show and a Tim McGraw cameo proved Nashville still knows how to throw a party ahead of Super Bowl 2030.
Need a pitch for why Nashville deserves to host its first Super Bowl ? Here's one: Nashville's the type of town where folks can accidentally stumble into a party. Take the evening of May 20 on Lower Broadway.
The city threw a community celebration to commemorate its consecration as the NFL's chosen city for the 2030 Super Bowl . Three blocks of traffic were closed off. A pop-up stage occupied Broadway's dead end.
Sure, the whole thing was on short notice; it was an event made known to the public less than 36 hours prior. But the fanfare should've resonated. Nashville was throwing a party to establish its right to throw a lot more parties at a later date, and there's nothing like a Nashville party, right?
Well . . .
