What to Eat and Drink at Nashville SC’s Soccer Stadium, Geodis Park

Major League Soccer season kicked off last month, but games will be going strong through October. And Nashville SC is one to watch. Their sleek $335 million stadium, Geodis Park in Wedgewood Houston, has plenty of good food and drinks to fuel you through the nail-biting matches.

Instead of farming out the culinary options to big box brands and national chains, Geodis Park has embraced local restaurants, trucks, and food businesses. Unsurprisingly, there’s hot chicken from Prince’s, piping hot pies from Rock‘n Dough, empanadas from food truck Chivanada, and drinks from around the state of Tennessee, all rounded out by reliable stadium classics: hot dogs, burgers, and nachos.

Best Bets for Food at Geodis Park

Central BBQ

A Memphis barbecue legend, Central BBQ brought its slow-smoked dry rub meats to Nashville back in 2021 with a location in Hillsboro Village, and yes, Geodis Park. Central has both a stand and a cart in the stadium, dishing up chicken and pork nachos along with pulled pork sandwiches.

Chivanada

Chivanada’s the little Colombian food truck that could. It graduated to a full-fledged stand at Geodis Park where fans can get a taste of its crispy and cheesy beef, chicken, and lentil empanadas along with yucca fries and fried plantains.

Where: 18S (behind section 130)

Corner Pub

Nashville’s neighborhood watering hole (there are four locations between Davidson and Williamson Counties) found itself a tiny nook in Geodis Park where it doles out some of the comfort food fare its best known for around town. Count on its smoked wings, a pulled pork-topped burger patty swimming in ranch, and fries to get you through the game.

Where: 12S (behind section 120)

Daddy’s Dogs

As one of Nashville’s go-to hot dogs, Daddy’s Dog went in big at Geodis Park with both a stand and a cart. That’s where you’ll find Sean “Big Daddy” Porter’s Nashville SC dog — an eight-inch frank loaded with cream cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and peaches that’s exclusive to the stadium.

Where: 14S (behind section 123) and 2C (behind section 104)

Prince’s Hot Chicken

You know the hot chicken OG was going to make an appearance here. And Andre Prince Jeffries has continued her family’s legacy at the park with a stand that doles out plain, medium, and hot chicken tenders with fries to hungry fans.

Where: 9S (behind section 114)

Rock‘n Dough

Rock’n Dough got its start as a food truck roaming the streets of Memphis but has quickly grown into a multi-location force in Tennessee, dishing out handmade artisan pies. At Geodis, you can get a slice of cheese, pepperoni, or pizza-of-the-match pie along with one of the beers made at their brewery in Jackson, Tennessee.

Where: 17S (behind section 128) and 4C (behind section 106)

Taqueria Zepada

Strategic Hospitality (the Catbird Seat, Bastion, Kisser) has put its stamp on Nashville’s soccer stadium with Taqueria Zepada. Here, chef Claudette Zepeda puts out three different types of tacos enveloped in corn tortillas: pulled pork adobada, steak, and chicken salsa verde. But you’ll also find cheese quesadillas, queso with rajas, and cinnamon sugar crisps at the stand.

Where: 16S (behind section 125)

Where to Drink at Geodis Park

Hive Cocktails

Nashville’s Spirited Hive is known for making canned honey-based cocktails, which automatically makes it a no-brainer for stadium drinking. You can find their assortment of flavors — including tequila ginger and vodka cranberry lime — at several outposts in the stadium.

Where: 10S (behind section 117), 21S (behind section 134), and 1C (behind section 103)

High Rock Vodka Bar

Dale Jr. and Amy Earnhardt partnered with Sugarlands Distilling Company out in Gatlinburg to create a vodka made using the Lincoln County Process (i.e. charcoal distilled). Their bar at Geodis features the spirit in various cocktails.

Where: 11S (behind section 119)

Music City Beer Company

Music City Beer Co. nabbed themselves a sweet gig as the official beer of Nashville SC. Its Pitch lager was specially crafted for the team and stadium — you can find them sold from a cart in the stadium — and is brewed and canned in Nashville.

Where: 5C (behind section 109)

There are also several Heineken outposts scattered through Geodis Park.
