\n\t\u201cWe have been so honored to partner with Lipscomb these past eleven years for the GMA Dove Awards,\u201d GMA president Jackie Patillo previously said in a statement to Billboard<\/em>. \u201cThe reality is, we are growing! In 2025, we will be expanding to Bridgestone Arena for our live show happening Oct. 7. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to showcase the heart of our Christian and Gospel community right in the heart of Music City.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe GMA Dove Awards have sold out several months in advance for the past three years. Lipscomb University\u2019s Allen Arena has an approximately 5,000-person capacity whereas Bridgestone Arena has a concert attendance capacity of up to 20,000. Bridgestone Arena, located at the corner of Broadway and Rep. John Lewis Way, also hosts the annual Country Music Association Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new location will coincide with the 2025 opening of the Christian and Gospel Museum at the\u00a0Dove\u00a0Center, located at 147 Fourth Ave. N., at the corner of Fourth Ave. and Commerce Street. The 11,000-square-feet museum and hall of fame<\/a> will be located near the historic Ryman Auditorium, and will feature interactive displays to celebrate today\u2019s top Christian and Gospel artists, while also preserving and spotlighting the legacies of many Christian and Gospel trailblazing pioneers.<\/p>\n
