What To Know About The Nashville Municipal Auditorium 

In 2025, the Cheer Power Nashville Showdown heads to the Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, which officially opened its doors in 1962 and has hosted everything from cheer competitions to the circus, auto shows, religious events, trade shows, and more.

The arena floor offers more than 17,000 square feet of exhibit/competition space when the seating is in place and nearly 33,000 square feet when it’s not. The venue has room for more than 9,600 spectators. There also is a 38,000-square foot outdoor plaza.

Some permanent visitors to the venue are the Nashville Kats, a professional arena football team. The third incarnation of the team – announced in late 2023 – played at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium from early May through the summer. 

In 2025, the Nashville Municipal Auditorium will also be home to Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball, a professional women’s basketball league that will bring 40 of the best female hoopsters in the world to Nashville from early February through early March.
