At the concessions, after paying for my order, I must have accidentally dropped my wallet. Wednesday evening, Nov 9th, my wife and I attended the CMA awards at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Still, it does make for a very unique experience, and I highly recommend checking out a game if given the chance. Some I've spoken to don't like this aspect and feel its antithetical to the general civility and sportsmanship of the game.
After Preds goals are announced, the fans chant the opposing goalie's name, followed by successive chants of "You suck!," and "It's all your fault!" Predators penalties are followed by chants of "Ref, you suck!" Apparently, Predators fans love to tell people how much they suck. The fans give the experience a ton of personality-more than I've seen at most venues. I visited Nashville a few times and caught a couple of games around 2012-2013 when my brother was a student here, and the stadium did not have near the fan-base it currently enjoys (largely due to a Cup run in 2017). This song is then immediately followed by the Black Keys' "Gold on the Ceiling" and an immediate crowd chant of "Hey, you suck!" directed at the opposing team. The Preds' goal song is Tim McGraw's "I Like, I Love it," which he rerecorded just for Bridgestone, where he mentions the Predators scoring a goal (also, in typical Nashville Fashion.#musiccity).

They even offer a live band that plays music during TV timeouts and intermissions (in typical Nashville fashion). The facility itself is top notch, and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Nothing beats the raucous spirit of NHL games in an arena. The games themselves are incredible (I've been to 4). The venue has been chosen to host the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament until 2025, except in 20.I can only speak to Predators games, as I have yet to enjoy a concert here.The arena has served as the home of the Nashville Kats franchise of the Arena Football League from 1997 to 2001 and then from 2005 to 2007.

The arena has also hosted many professional wrestling events and boxing matches. For concerts, the capacity ranges from 10,000-20,000 based on the concert type. The arena majorly hosts basketball and Ice hockey events, attracting thousands of fanatics whole year. The capacity of the arena varies according to the events conducted by the arena. The construction was completed in 1996 and the Nashville Predators national hockey league team has been the primary tenant of the arena. This arena was formerly known as Gaylord Entertainment Center as well as Somerset Center. The arena couldn’t host any NHL game until January 2013 due to the 2012 dispute (known as NHL Lockout) between the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA).īridgestone Arena, originally known as Nashville Arena is a multi-purpose stadium, located in Nashville, Tennessee.
