About OPRYLAND
Opryland is bringing wholesome family entertainment to the greater Nashville, Tennessee area with a $792M premier indoor/outdoor family entertainment facility.
Opryland will provide amazing entertainment and family fun in the form of concerts, music festivals, rodeos, and other outdoor and indoor events.
Opryland can host calendar day celebrations such as Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick’s Day, Fourth of July, and other national holidays and celebrations. Many annual events can be hosted at Opryland, from daily, to multi-day, to weeklong events. We can host National music festivals, concert tours, local entertainment, rodeo finals and championships, wild horse & auctions and festivals, agricultural, farming & ranching expos, technology expos, and wine and beer expos, just to name a few. If you can plan it, we can host it, and the patrons will come.
Opryland is planned as a sprawling, multi-phase, multi-year project that will bring year-long jobs and revenue to the local community, while providing a destination that will draw guests from across the world to come and see what may be the most unique and affordable family experience in the country. Phase 1 will involve the core of the facility – the outdoor concert amphitheater known as Star Arena, and the initial development of the property known as the “Back Forty”. As attendance grows our revenue will be re-invested into the Opryland and the community to expand our facility using our phased approach, and forge a close and strong working relationship with our local community in the process.
One of the primary goals of Opryland is to help revitalize the onstage performance industry which will also benefit the television and movie production and radio industry. We will elevate them to higher standards for the current and future generation to experience by helping to create a better structure for the television & movie industries by bringing back the onstage performance Industry. We will teach the skills needed to become successful on stage as well as on film. Opryland will reestablish Nashville as “MUSIC CITY USA” and help it endure the test of time by involving seasoned professionals who will help train the next generation of performers.
Activities will start by utilizing a portable professional concert stage and temporary facilities and amenities, with concerts to continue at this location until the Star Arena Stage is built behind the temporary portable concert stage.
Once Opryland construction is complete, the Arena area will cover approximately 20 acres, with a projected maximum capacity of 105,000 people* with a 300’ x 500’ dance floor in-front of the stage, for up to 4,500 people, making it a perfect destination for everything from small shows to arena and stadium tours. The 12,300 square foot stage will accommodate any musical or touring act. The supporting facility will feature modern individual dressing rooms, a green room, prop storage, truck docking, dining and kitchen facility and an enclosed streaming and broadcast production studio behind the main stage.
We are planning to create Star Talent Promotional Agency (STP) a talent “Boot Camp”to help performers, current and new, who are ready to take the next step toward appearing on a national stage thru an intensive, immersive, all-encompassing series of classes, workshops, and performance evaluations. Think of this as the “Top Gun” of music. The best and brightest will come to Opryland to hone their skills and be prepared to make that next step. Services will be located at the Opryland main office.
When labels have talent that is ready to make the next step and find themselves on a national stage they will contract with STP to work with these performers in an intensive, immersive, all-encompassing series of classes, workshops, and performance evaluations.
The Back Forty will be modeled after a real working ranch, on 325 acres and will be a perfect destination for fun and excitement all day and into evening to include seven amphitheaters with a minimum 400 audience capacity at each stage with additional 500 capacity bleachers. These facilities can be a mix of arena and enclosed venues to accommodate music and entertainment festival style events.
There will be four Jam Session Stages for musical artists to meet and greet and practice together. They will be fully equipped with lights and sound equipment. Each stage venue will have full audio and film production capabilities, matching what are produced at the Star Arena.
There will be over 2,000 vendors, some in food courts and others spread out over the grounds. Other activities include three-ring circus shows weekly, horseback and horse-drawn carriage rentals, Indian Camp, Cowboy and Cowgirl Camp, fishing and as well as a Reenactment Actors Camp, water park, fairest wheel, roller coaster, park train rides and carnivals, horse boarding, dog training and gun range shooting services with an array of shooting contests available to the public. Veterinarian services and professional instructors will be available for equine events. Teepees and bunk houses will be available for lodging. WIFI will be through-out the Opryland property.
The leadership team will be built and vetted with the utmost care to ensure that all members have the passion to ensure that Opryland grows to its full potential. We will strive to ensure that Opryland is an all-inclusive environment, with a strong work/life balance, strong community involvement, and a strong sense of ‘family” throughout.
