Bridgestone Arena Events
Affectionately dubbed the “Tire Barn” by the locals, Bridgestone Arena has been the home of the Nashville Predators ever since the team joined the NHL in 1998 as part of the league’s efforts to expand into the southern United States. Located in the center of Nashville, the design of the stadium pays homage to the Grand Ole Opry, a weekly showcase of country music hosted and broadcast from the city for close to a hundred years. The Preds struggled to make much of an impact initially, but have since become regular playoff contenders, even making it all the way to their first Stanley Cup Finals in 2017, which they lost in six games to Sidney Crosby’s Pittsburgh Penguins. Along with all regular season and playoffs Predators games, Bridgestone Arena also hosts concerts (especially but not exclusively country music), comedy shows, religious events, and NCAA basketball. National figure skating and gymnastics championships have also been held at the venue. Hungry fans will find plenty of tasty snacks on offer at Bridgestone Arena, with local specialties like hot chicken mac & cheese and footlong hot dogs and even seasonal treats like the turkey meatloaf burger on the menu. Fans can also find team and event merchandise on sale at the venue’s numerous shops and kiosks.
