Nissan Stadium sits on the east bank of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville, a 69,000-seat NFL venue that has quickly become one of the most popular stops on the supercross circuit since it was added to the schedule in 2021. The open-air setting, the passionate Tennessee crowd, and a track that consistently rewards aggressive riding have made Nashville a fan favorite in a very short time.
The Track Character
Nashville's track has historically featured a long, sweeping rhythm section off the start that separates the field quickly. The first turn is wide enough to allow multiple lines, which creates passing opportunities that many stadium tracks don't offer. Track builders tend to use the full width of the floor at Nissan Stadium, resulting in a layout that feels more open than most indoor events.
The whoops section at Nashville has been particularly punishing in recent years — long, well-spaced, and set up in a way that rewards commitment over caution. Riders who attack the whoops rather than tip-toeing through them consistently find time.
"Nashville always surprises you. The crowd is electric, the track is fast, and nothing about it feels like a typical supercross."

Keep your eyes on the whoops section in the heat races — riders who find a clean line through there early in the evening tend to carry that advantage into the main event. With Tomac leading Lawrence by two points heading into Round 13, Nashville's wide first turn and passing-friendly layout gives the entire field a chance to shake up the championship standings.
