Nissan Stadium is just a bridge away from downtown across the Cumberland, but it can still feel like a bit of an island when it comes to dining pre- or post-game. Between downtown and East Nashville, however, a rainbow of options can be found within a mile of the stadium.

To be included, restaurants must be situated one mile or less from the stadium, and must be open on Sundays either for pre- or post-game dining.
