Before the Titans and Preds, I only recall going downtown a few times, and then it was for things like school trips to the state museum or the Capitol, or very rarely down to Church Street Center. But, once the Preds and Titans came to town, we were down every other weekend during the season, which I'm sure is a very similar experience to thousands of other middle Tennesseans growing up from the mid 80s to the early 00s.

Let's not forget the Nashville Kats (arena football).  They were pretty popular, too, and helped fill the bars on Lower Broadway.  I think another big boost to downtown was moving the Country Music Hall of Fame from Music Row to downtown.  It's hard to imagine now, but even the little Hilton Hotel was a big deal back then when it opened.

Wasn’t it located where the BMI parking garage is now?

16th and Division was the location. Here are some screenshots of a Tennessean archive collection of photos of the old museum.

From Reddit user jer_088 - looking west on Lower Broadway...

That is probably what Lower Broadway looks like to 90% of the people there at night.

[e-dub]

That's what it looks like to me 100% of the time at night if I'm not wearing my contacts, except less detail lol.

He's asking about the "Hall of Game", not the "Hall of Fame".

The entrance was later changed to this...

It faces 16th at the Musica Roundabout.  The historical marker out front was placed in 2012 after the CMHOF moved downtown and BMI bought the old buildling.

This is not my own photo but a photo courtesy of aerial_innovations_tn. This is nashville from charlotte pike from the air this year. To be honest when i saw this photo i actually thought this was taken in Texas like in Dallas or something, but i guess i can’t even recognize the city i grew up in anymore due to its rapid growth lol. When Fifth and Broadway and capitol view and nashville yards get finished, and if river north, paramount, buckingham gulch, midtown and endeavor projects get completed (and future undisclosed projects), i think in the future this skyline will stretch from one end of the picture to the other which is insane.

When I first saw this pic (a few days ago), I honestly thought, at first glance, it was Houston!

Oh my gosh, how could I forget that. I used to love going to Kats games! Too bad AFL petered out.
