it is a great place. Treat your self and stay at the opry hotel, Gaylord opryland, well worth the money. but you can take their shuttle over the opry. Also the big mall is right there by you. As far as going to the Co Hall of Fame and Ryman auditorioum, take a taxi to that area, traffic is a headache and its a long ways from the opry.. and then there is Ernst Tubb record store near the Hall of fame. Once I stayed at a days inn near H , of F and it was terrible. no food nearby, no room service etc .[I] I did not go to Toosies?
I am cleaning and had mementos laying out, the previous poster is right, abt where to sit. we had row MF row 5 seats 3 and 4. they were good ones.
Enjoy your trip and give us an update
