Traffic downtown will be particularly heavy Monday as football fans head to LP Field for the sold-out 3 p.m. Music City Bowl game between Kentucky and Florida State.
The same traffic management plan as that used for Titans games will be in effect. The Woodland Street Bridge will close to regular traffic by 12:30 p.m. It will then be open only to pedestrians through the conclusion of the game.
Fans planning on attending the game are strongly encouraged to arrive early and should keep in mind that only those with parking passes will be allowed to park on the LP Field campus. All available parking passes have been sold. Fans without parking passes who drive to the stadium campus will be diverted to the downtown area to find available parking. Fans without parking passes are strongly urged to avoid traffic jams and delays by parking in the downtown area and taking a short walk to LP Field via the Woodland Street Bridge or the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge.
Gates at LP Field will open at 1 p.m. Monday. Stadium parking lots will open at 8 a.m. to football fans with parking passes. Those fans are urged to closely follow the printed directions on the back of the passes to their respective lots.
Sunday night, certain streets downtown will be closed for the bowl’s annual Battle of the Bands featuring the marching bands from Kentucky and Florida State. Thousands of spectators are expected for this event on 2nd Avenue. The following streets will be closed for much of Sunday night, beginning at 5 p.m.:
2nd Avenue North from Union Street to Broadway
1st Avenue North from Union Street to Demonbreun Street
Broadway westbound from 1st to 3rd Avenues
2nd Avenue South from Demonbreun Street to Broadway
