About Bridgestone Arena

Bridgestone Arena opened in December 1996 at the corner of Broadway and 5th Avenue and is home ice for the NHL's Nashville Predators. Its corner was set at an angle as a nod to the historic Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry. Beyond hockey you can catch concerts, SEC basketball tournaments and the Country Music Association Awards, held here nearly every year since 2006.
