A National Historic Landmark, Ryman Auditorium was built by Captain Thomas G. Ryman in 1892 as the Union Gospel Tabernacle. A 15-time winner of the prestigious Pollstar Theatre of the Year award, the historic venue is well-known as the Mother Church of Country Music and is the most famous former home of the Grand Ole Opry (1943-1974). The Ryman’s thriving concert schedule hosts more than 200 shows annually, and the venue is open for daytime tours year-round. The Ryman has also been featured in numerous film and television projects, including Coal Miner’s Daughter, The Johnny Cash Show, American Idol, and Nashville.

No matter what you are seeing, the Grand Ole Opry show that moves to the Ryman during the year, or a group or artist, it is a long night. Seeing an artist or group usually involves an opening act, which they usually do not tell you about, which I wish they did. That way if you don’t want to see it you can save yourself 1-1/2 hours plus of seeing that and the time it takes to prepare for the act you actually want to see. We have been in there 3-4 hours seeing a show such as the Mavericks recently. The pews are brutal to sit on that long. Of course you can get up and walk around or get a drink, but it’s still a long night. The Radio broadcast Grand Ole Opry show is 3 hours I believe.
