                            As Music City, we've naturally developed an excellent ear and a knack for listening. And we've heard loud and clear exactly what you want: a bigger stage for your larger meetings and conventions. In 2013, we will proudly open the doors of the Music City Center located just south of Broadway in downtown Nashville on a 16-acre site between 5th and 8th Avenues and Demonbreun and Franklin Street, adjacent to both the Bridgestone Arena and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

                            As of January 2013, more than 829,000 room nights, representing 101 individual meetings, have been booked at the Music City Center! Read the press release.

                            The MCC will offer stunning views of the Nashville skyline and, in  keeping with the city's commitment to sustainable development, boast a  green roof. In addition, the building has been designed to capture  Nashville's best attributes and immerse visitors in the unique character  of Music City.

                            The new, high-performance Music City Center will more than double the  downtown meeting and exhibit space available in the current convention  center.
