"I really thought they would just do Bridgestone they decided to go above and beyond and do it in Nissan," said Myles Brown.
People say they hope the big game will draw more large-scale sports events to Nashville.
"With the talks of the new stadium, you get the Final Four, the Superbowl. Nashville is a growing city you kind of hope that at the end of the day we can get more events like this," said Dinizio.
