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.
