Opened: October 7, 1962
The Nashville Municipal Auditorium is an indoor sports and concert venue in Nashville, Tennessee. It opened October 7, 1962 with both an arena and exhibition hall. The former exhibition hall has been permanent home to the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum since 2013.

Designed by Marr & Holman and constructed by Nashville Bridge Company in 1962 at a cost of $5 million, the venue was the first public assembly hall in the Mid South with air conditioning.

The venue was built on the site of Bijou Amusement Company's former Bijou Theatre as part of an urban renewal plan. Bijou Theatre was frequented by African American audiences prior to desegregation.

The structure contains a 306-foot diameter bowl with a spherically-curved, clear-span roof. Within the facility is an underground exhibition hall and an arena with two tiers of spectator stands.

The venue was home court for the NCAA Belmont Bruins basketball teams from 2001-2003 while Striplin Gym was demolished to make way for Curb Event Center.

The venue hosted the Ohio Valley Conference basketball tournament in 1989, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
