A National Historic Landmark, Ryman Auditorium was built as a tabernacle by Captain Thomas G. Ryman in 1892, served as the home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943-74 and was completely renovated in 1994. The Ryman is open for tours during the day and at night offers a wide variety of entertainment performances, just as it has for over 125 years. The venue was voted the 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Pollstar Theatre of the Year and recently took home its sixth consecutive CMA Venue of the Year Award.

Saw a concert here a few months ago, and it was incredibly and dangerously loud. So loud you could not actually “hear” the music or distinguish the lyrics. My ears are still ringing. Wrote to the Rym… Full review by William J C

TAKE EARPLUGS FOR CONCERTS The bass at the auditorium is so loud it is physically painful. There is no one onsite to ask if it can be turned down. Noise rating is 99 which is considered very loud … Full review by Ellen W

We came to town to see Amy Grant And Vince Gill do one of their Christmas shows and enjoyed the heck out of it. Once we got the tickets that we wanted (which was tricky) everything was great. The sin… Full review by 939dougg

Hi. Sorry for my late reply. We stayed at a vacation rental on 4th Ave. N. There were two parking garages across the street from each other, 1 1/2 blocks up the hill from the Ryman Aud. Unfortunately the location is slightly pricey, although maybe a few hours of fun is worth it. Temps = the entire auditorium was updated and AC flows when needed. Hope this helps. Have a nice time.

No matter what you are seeing, the Grand Ole Opry show that moves to the Ryman during the year, or a group or artist, it is a long night. Seeing an artist or group usually involves an opening act, which they usually do not tell you about, which I wish they did. That way if you don’t want to see it you can save yourself 1-1/2 hours plus of seeing that and the time it takes to prepare for the act you actually want to see. We have been in there 3-4 hours seeing a show such as the Mavericks recently. The pews are brutal to sit on that long. Of course you can get up and walk around or get a drink, but it’s still a long night. The Radio broadcast Grand Ole Opry show is 3 hours I believe.
