I hope some people can give me advice on this one. I will be going up to Nashville to see a friend and we are then driving to Knoxville.

Is there a good place mid-way along I-40 to stop for the night? I don't want a roach motel.

Comfort Suites in Cookville is nice. About halfway.

Are you sure you want to stop on the way? It's only a 3-hour trip. Why not stay in Nashville or drive on through to Knoxville? There's not much between Nashville and Knoxville -- Cookeville, Crossville, Harriman/Rockwood/Kingston...I wouldn't be wild about staying in any of them. I'd rather just get on to Knoxville. Or better yet, stay in Nashville.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have to talk with my friend & see what he wants to do (he's driving)!

Staying in Nashville makes sense, but I'm afraid that going to Knoxville on I-40 might be a nightmare on a football day.

Hello Christina,

The game starts @ 7:00pm EST. Travel up until then will be the I-40 500 with fans trying to get to the game. If you leave an hour or two before kick off, you will be OK in either direction. Have a safe trip.

If the game is at 7:00 PM, I-40 will be busy from mid-morning through about 5:00. If you are up and going bright and early that morning, you should be at your destination before the traffic gets too heavy. It's definitely wise to avoid the football traffic.

ughhh
