Columbus Blue Jackets History
The Columbus Blue Jackets—whose name pays tribute to Ohio's substantial contributions to the Union army during the Civil War—joined the NHL as an expansion franchise in 2000.
The Blue Jackets played their first 12 seasons as a member of the Western Conference, making their first foray into the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2008-2009 led by All-Star winger Rick Nash and Rookie of the Year goaltender Steve Mason.
NHL realignment saw the team move to the Eastern Conference in 2013-2014, and the Blue Jackets have since collected six winning seasons and qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs five times. Columbus was one of just three teams to earn playoff berths in four consecutive seasons from 2016-2020, joining the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals.
In 2018-2019, the eighth-seeded Blue Jackets faced off against the Presidents' Trophy-winning and top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs. The Blue Jackets shocked the heavily-favored Lightning as they became the first team in NHL history to earn a four-game sweep in the first round of the playoffs against a team with the league's best regular-season record.

My first hockey game! The energy of the crowd was amazing! Kudos to the DJ - music was rocking & timing was crucial. Tickets were a bit expensive ($132) but the 4th row from rink was a great place to be! Our home team did not win :( but when they scored, the crowd Roared! Goalie did a great job, as did the rest of the Team. Will definitely attend another game.
I took my son to see the Blue Jackets play on New Year's Eve, and our seats were excellent! Even tho we had seats in the last row of Section 206, we had a great view of the arena. The indoor fireworks were awesome too! What a bonus!
I had a great time down at the CBJ game on December 31st. Getting to and from the game was easy. Getting my ticket was a snap and getting to my seat was a cinch. The food was tasty as it always is. I even got to see some great views of the action. Watching the CBJ girls come out and skate is a definite plus.
It was a great night at Nationwide except for two things: the Jackets lost and the Leafs fans owned the lower bowl. Credit TOR for traveling well, but there's no excuse for Jackets fans to let "Go Leafs Go" trump "Let's Go Jackets." C'mon, Columbus, you can't cede your home ice like that.
Great experience except beer prices are too high at $10 USD and up.
Not having hockey in Cincinnati is a bummer. CBJ save the day, so we visit at least once a year. Nice downtown, welcoming arena, faithful fans and a great goal song. What's not to like!
Bought more expensive seats than usual for Blue Jackets game recently. Totally worth it. Great sightlines, friendly atmosphere and solid arena staff made it worthwhile. Very narrow seats though.....
Seats were very good and the environment is great.We enjoyed the evening.
From start to finish my husband and I had a great time at the game. The ushers and cashiers were pleasant and fun. We had 5th row seats that were Awesome, felt like we were right in the game. Won a t-shirt that was thrown out. Would definitely recommend people should go for a date night or family night! won't be disappointed.
If you’ve been to a Blue Jackets game, you know how fun they are, but opening night is a whole new level. There is a buzz around the building that’s only replicated when it’s playoff time. There is a huge party in front of the arena and several on location broadcasts from locals tv and radio. 10 out of 10 recommend opening night
Great time at the game . Place was alive and load.
Great seats, but my team lost. Had fun and will go again
The ENERGY was incredible!!! The arena was electric!! The action on ice was fantastic!!
This just happened to be one of the worst games they played all year...w/o Bob it would have been horrible! That being sais...what a series! We 've been to many games and Sat it many different areas and you can see the action from anywhere..great venue...easy in and out usually. Nothing like the excitement of a good hockey game! Go CBJ!
Nothing better than a CBJ home playoff game! Exciting, loud and filled with tension
Nationwide is usually fantastic for Blue Jackets games, but in this case they shouldn’t be selling standing room only for section 117. You can’t see the ice. I’d be fine with the tickets if they were cheaper, but $100 for SRO is too steep.
Always a great experience at Nationwide Arena. The location is perfect and the atmosphere of the place is next level. If you've never been to a game you should definitely check one out. You won't regret it.
Awesome game! Overtime winner! I definitely recommend going to a Jackets game.
Even though the Jackets lost. They still fought!!!
great time, pricey but good FUN had by all that were there.
