Ugh, just what Nashville needed this weekend - more people.
Make that 350,000 more people. NFL Draft, Jimmy Buffett concert, Music City Marathon, NHL Western Semifinals, Flea Market, etc...insane

The Predators are out. No Western Semis for them.
I’m not enamored with any QB in this draft and he will still need an o line in front of him.
DH thinks the Giants will trade for Carr.
Just to give it even more perspective, every hotel room between Knoxville and Clarksville is completely booked up.
That's interesting as my statistics came from the Chamber of Commerce. I suspect that at the time the stats were taken that rooms could've been "full" but since then hotels have released entire blocks of rooms that could've been on hold. Which isn't outside of the norm as a practice.Just for kicks, I checked up on your statement. I looked on Expedia and I found several hotels in Mt. Juliet at $150 per night for tonight through the whole weekend. Those hotels are about 25 minutes from downtown. I also found some in Donelson by the airport and in Lebanon and Hendersonville. I did not search the south or west sides of town but I would suspect given my results searching the East and North sides of town that there would be some had I searched.

I do know that many downtown businesses (bars, restaurants, honky tonks etc...) looked into purchasing blocks of rooms in downtown hotels so that employees would not have to commute into work due to road closures and numbers of people flooding into the downtown area.
So yeah, rooms may be available now...but at the time...not so much.
You have a link to that statistic?
It was in a email my wife received. So no unfortunately I don't have access to it. Nor do I plan to bother her to send it to me when she's so incredibly busy.
Are you so pressed to prove me wrong?
Pressed? On the contrary, it was quite easy. Took all of 30 seconds.
Why would it matter?You have a link to that statistic?
