For $17 round trip, you can park free outside downtown Nashville, board a train, and ride to a Titans home game without searching for stadium parking.
The Titans Express serves six boarding stations between Lebanon and Donelson before reaching downtown Nashville’s Riverfront Station. From there, you walk across the Cumberland River to Nissan Stadium and catch the return train one hour after the game ends.
For fans along the route, the ride can become part of the afternoon. Meet your group at a station, settle in together, and leave the downtown parking search out of the plan.
That fixed return departure shapes the outing, though. You need time to walk both ways, and any postgame plans have to fit around the ride home.
Here’s what to know before choosing your station and buying tickets.
The Round Trip Costs $17
The fare is $15 plus a $2 processing fee per ticketed passenger. That makes the train bill $34 for two or $68 for four, with free parking at the outlying stations. Football admission is separate.
Those numbers make it easy to work out your group’s transportation budget before booking. Count everyone who needs a train ticket, then add the separate cost of attending the game.
Children 4 and younger ride without a train ticket when seated in a parent’s lap. They do not get a separate seat under that exception.
Nissan Stadium uses a different cutoff: children 2 and older need a stadium ticket. A 3-year-old can ride in your lap on the train and still need paid admission to the game.
For families, it helps to check those two requirements separately rather than assume the same age rule covers the entire outing.
Buy the special game-day ticket through the purchase link on WeGo’s Titans transportation page. Ordinary weekday Star tickets and passes do not apply, and tickets are not sold onboard on game day.

Six Stations Offer a Place to Board
The train follows the WeGo Star corridor, stopping at these six boarding stations before reaching Riverfront, its seventh and final stop:
| Boarding station | Address |
|---|---|
| Lebanon | 334 W. Baddour Parkway |
| Hamilton Springs | 1000 Gaston Park Drive |
| Martha | 65 Martha Circle |
| Mt. Juliet | 22 E. Division Street |
| Hermitage | 4121 Andrew Jackson Parkway |
| Donelson | 2705 Lebanon Pike |
The destination is Riverfront Station at 108 1st Avenue South, at the foot of Broadway. Riverfront has no parking facilities; drivers should use their selected outlying station.
You can check the locations on WeGo’s station information page.
Choose your boarding station by looking at the whole trip from home. The drive to the station, departure time, and return arrangements all deserve a place in that decision.
Check the timetable provided for your specific game before choosing a departure. Your boarding station determines how long you spend aboard, and the train journey is only part of the trip. Add driving, platform waiting, and the walk to the stadium.
For a first trip, we suggest arriving 20–30 minutes before departure to park and find the platform. That is a planning buffer, not an official boarding requirement.
If friends are meeting you there, share the station name and address in advance. Everyone needs to be working from the same departure time.
Book Early—the Published Deadlines Differ
WeGo’s Titans transportation page says ticket sales close 24 hours before departure, or sooner if the train sells out. Its 2026 season announcement says tickets must be purchased at least one hour before departure.
Those instructions conflict. Our advice is to book more than 24 hours ahead, preferably earlier, rather than count on a last-minute purchase.
Once your group has chosen a game, make the train arrangements part of the same planning conversation. Waiting until game morning leaves you relying on the more generous of two different published deadlines.
Save your train ticket and football ticket separately so both are easy to find. Download any ticket information you’ll need before leaving home, and make sure the person carrying it is traveling with the group.
The Train Gets You Downtown—Then You Walk
Riverfront Station sits across the Cumberland River from Nissan Stadium. You still need to cross the river, reach your gate, clear security, and find your seat.
That walk is part of the trip in both directions. Consider it when choosing shoes, packing for the weather, and deciding whether the outing works for everyone coming along.
Check the stadium’s current walking routes before traveling. The stadium lists pedestrian approaches using the Woodland Street, Korean Veterans Boulevard, and John Seigenthaler Pedestrian bridges. The pedestrian bridge is adjacent to Riverfront Station, but construction may affect routes. Follow posted signs and staff directions.
WeGo says the train generally reaches downtown about an hour before kickoff. Treat that time as your window to reach your seat, especially if crowds or your walking pace slow the trip.
It is useful arrival time, but several things still need to happen between stepping off the train and sitting down at the stadium.
After the game, head back promptly. The return train leaves Riverfront one hour after the game ends, serving the same outlying stations. A longer game shifts that departure later; leaving early does not get you an earlier train.
Before heading into the stadium, make sure everyone in your group understands the return arrangement. That is especially helpful if you’ll be sitting in different sections.
If your plans include exploring the country singers’ bars on Broadway afterward, arrange another way home. The return train leaves little room for a leisurely downtown evening.
For an overnight football weekend, these visitor-recommended hotels near Broadway offer a different starting point for planning your stay.
Pack for the Stadium, Too
WeGo allows tailgating at the outlying stations and aboard the train. Passengers may leave small coolers onboard during the game at their own risk; WeGo and train staff are not responsible for items left behind.
That can be useful for the train portion of the outing, but pack your stadium belongings separately from anything you intend to leave aboard.
Ordinary coolers cannot enter Nissan Stadium. Strollers are also prohibited, which matters when planning the walk with young children. Review the stadium’s policies before deciding what to bring. If you need an item for medical reasons, check the applicable exception and inspection requirements.
Under the stadium’s bag policy, clear bags must measure 12 × 12 × 6 inches or smaller. Nontransparent bags must be 4.5 × 6.5 inches or smaller, even when placed inside a clear bag.
Measure your bag at home rather than guess at the gate. Check smaller purses and pouches, too, since putting one inside a clear bag does not remove the size restriction.
The easiest packing plan accounts for the train ride, the walk, and stadium entry together.
Accessible Boarding Is Available
WeGo’s accessibility information confirms that every Star station and train is ADA accessible, with wheelchair securement areas onboard. Service animals are welcome.
For boarding accommodations, call 615-862-5950 before traveling with your boarding station, passenger count, and cellphone number, as directed in WeGo’s season announcement.
Having those details ready gives staff the information requested for your trip.
Plan the station-to-stadium portion separately. Accessible train boarding covers one part of the outing; you also need a workable route from Riverfront to your stadium entrance and back afterward.
Review Nissan Stadium’s accessibility services and confirm the assistance you need before buying if distance is a concern. Include the return walk and the train’s departure window in that conversation.
Choose Your Game Before Planning the Ride
As of October 26, 2026, WeGo lists these remaining home-game dates:
- November 15, 2026: Jacksonville Jaguars
- December 6, 2026: Washington Commanders
- December 20, 2026: Indianapolis Colts
- January 3, 2027: Pittsburgh Steelers
Use WeGo’s Titans information page to reach ticket sales. Confirm ticket availability and the station timetable for your chosen game before making travel plans.
Before booking, have three details settled: which station you’ll use, who needs a train ticket, and whether everyone can manage the stadium walk within the return window.
Then save the timetable with your tickets. You’ll have the departure details ready for game morning—and a clear plan for getting home after the final whistle.
