South Main Arts DistrictA base with its own food spots, on the trolley line

Stay in the South Main Arts District, south of Beale Street, on the Main Street trolley line, with its own breakfast and barbecue spots.

To the arena
Board the Main Street Trolley north toward Beale Street, or walk north on Main Street, then continue to the arena at 191 Beale Street.
After the game
Walk back south, or book a rideshare from the arena’s drop-off zone on Fourth Street. Check the trolley’s last run before you count on it.
The tradeoff
The arena is a walk or a trolley ride away, and the trolley runs about once an hour and stops at 10 p.m. (6 p.m. on Sunday), so it won’t always cover the trip back after a night game.
