NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Country music is always a big draw in Nashville, but the convergence of a major sports championship with one of the city’s biggest music events is reaching its crescendo this weekend in Tennessee’s capital city.
The Nashville Predators host Game 6 of the NHL Finals on Sunday evening at the same time that the annual CMA Music Festival holds its closing concert headlined by Keith Urban and Brad Paisley.
The honky-tonk lined blocks in between the two venues are expected to be packed with even more fans, and city officials expect 100,000 people to throng the downtown streets.
