Predators' 1st home playoff - Bridgestone
Bridgestone Arena Nashville Predators - Nashville
Easy to get tickets as a local. Access into Bridgestone was really easy - Uber driver was able to get to the side entry while Broadway was choked. Easy to find and access seats - plenty of concessions accessible on all levels. Preds home games are a treat of game, crowd and intermission entertainment. Not a boring moment and comfortable in our seats for the duration. Pity about the result. Preds were sluggish - but hopefully can reignite their series. Getting out is a bit slower with everyone going at the same time - but no big issue. You're right on Broadway when you leave - so plenty of after game entertainment options. Or (as we did) jump a scooter, avoid the car park rush and be home in 10! Gotta love Smashville!

It was great—& then it wasnt!
Bridgestone Arena Nashville Predators - Nashville
I thought to myself,self, the Preds have finally got their groove going a bit in this series. I mean we were up by 2 goals with roughly 3&1/2 minutes left in the game,so what could possibly go wrong right? Leave it to over 50 combined years of Preds/Titans sports history to once again prove me wrong yet again. Now I’m simply left utterly defeated & wallowing in another hockey season that reaked of false hope. Even if it was the ULTIMATE CHOKE JOB,I’m forever gonna be a devoted fan…just takes me generally a few days to pull out of the dregs of fandom self pity. In a couple of days I’ll be reminded of the fact that there’s nothing quite like Preds playoff hockey @ Bridgestone & those first 46&1/2 minutes of fan delirium are so pulse-pounding that it still outweighs the sting of losing. To anyone that hasn’t been to a Preds game,let alone a playoff game,it is 101% something you should…once you go,you’ll be hooked forever!

Fun rink but VERY cold

If you buy tickets in the 300, especially section 310, dress warmly. Jacket and tuque. We were so cold with hoodies, we couldn’t even stay in our seats for more than one period.

Attended a Predators game for the first time in six or seven years. Great experience getting into and out of Bridgestone Arena. What else can I say except. GO Predators!!!!!!!

Terrible seats for a bid.
I have been going to the preds games from 1998. We could not get tickets for the redwings games in Michigan. My brother in law worked for word records. That was part of Gaylord entertainment. He would get us tickets to the preds game to watch the wings. I made it to all the home games in the playoffs in 2017. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you put tickets up for a auction please put us in good seats. Just because I'm from Michigan does not mean I don't support the preds.

First hockey game in ever
Bridgestone Arena Nashville Predators - Nashville
Loved the experience! Other than the guy at the top who threw his beer at the end because the predators lost and we all got beer rained on us, including a baby.

Predators didn't play their best especially the power plays. Still had a good time with granddaughter.
Nashville Predators History
The Predators joined the NHL in 1998 during a two-year expansion that saw the League add the Atlanta Thrashers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild. The team made its first trip to the Playoffs during the 2003-04 season, and proceeded to make the postseason six of the next seven seasons. Nashville won its first Playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks in 2011, and returned to the second round again the following spring.
Two seasons later, with Peter Laviolette as Head Coach, Nashville began their four-year run as a Stanley Cup contender. With P.K. Subban arriving ahead of the 2016-17 season to anchor the defense, the Preds upset the Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks in consecutive Playoff series to reach the 2017 Stanley Cup Final. That streak had two distinctions: It was the first time a No. 8 seed knocked out a top seed (the Blackhawks) and the Predators became the first team in two decades to win 10 consecutive home Playoff games.
Facing the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final, the Preds lost the first two games before storming back to take Games 3 and 4. After a decisive Pittsburgh home victory, the Penguins prevailed 2-0 in Game 6, with both goals coming in the final two minutes.
Filip Forsberg, who re-signed with the team for eight seasons in July 2022, is the Predators all-time leading scorer. Roman Josi, Pekka Rinne, Mike Fisher and Steve Sullivan have all won NHL awards, while Josi, Rinne and former captain Shea Weber have the distinction of being NHL First-Team All-Stars for the club. The Nashville Predators have made the Playoffs 15 times in their 24 seasons.
