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.

We traveled into Columbus from Pittsburgh for the game. The arena and even the arena district felt very safe and clean. The fans were great which created a fun vibe for the game, even when the crowd was divided. Seats were a bit narrow though. Tall guys with long legs beware. I would definitely go back to Nationwide arena to see the Blue Jackets.
Easy to get in with the Ticketmaster app. They had masks for folks who didn't have one (yay!) Food line was quick. Loved the towels we got. Went to the store afterward, bought 2 CBJ masks (they ran out, need more!). Were told to use the door going outside, but it was on the wrong side of the arena for us, fell on the ice on the sidewalk. :-( Last time I go to the store after the game. Scoring was exciting and so was the play. Support for first responders was AWESOME.
We "splurged" on Club seats this time and are so glad we did! The seats were comfortable, they were easy to find, and having the opportunity to order food and drinks through a server was great! We typically sit in Section 203 but will definitely splurge on Club seats again!
We love CBJ games! Great venue and seats regardless of where you sit.
Had a blast with the family... cant wait to go back!
We were not able to attend the event do to sickness and family emergency
I’m a Nashville predators fan. First time to nationwide arena. Likes the seats. Everyone around me and my boyfriend were nice. Fun time. Clean place
What a fantastic night we had at the game. From buying the tickets to the ride home. It all was a wonderful experience. Look forward to attending more games.
We are certain that experts in hockey but even in seats are way up high you get a great view of the game and then she never stops. Overall just a lot of fun to go
The atmosphere is terrific, the parking was easy to find, and getting in/out was non stressful. Would go again in a beat!!
Our seats were perfect and got to enjoy one hell of a game
Outstanding arena, reasonably priced, quality vendors
If the Mayor’s rule requires every patron, security staff, concession worker, goal patrol, ice crew, and off ice official to wear a mask, Mike Todd needs to wear one too! It’s disgusting to fans that he feels he’s better than the rest of us. Lead by example.
From puck drop to final buzzer…the first game was not a disappointment !!!
Wow...What a game!. Blue Jackets did not disappoint with an exciting "first to the goal" WIN! Thank you Ticketmaster for providing quick, easy, and safe electronic entrance to the game!
The Blue Jackets game against the Wild went very well and was a good experience from the event and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the Blue Jackets did not play well and the game was over fairly early on. We stayed until the very end though and drowned our sorrows at the Whistle and Keg.
The Jackets rarely disappoint. It’s always a fun time at NWA. Everything from the player interactions during warmups to chatting with the concession workers is always a great experience. Great family night!
Everything was smooth and easy! Great game and atmosphere!
The arena was entertaining. Took my picture with the cannon, received a ‘my 1st game pick’. Looking forward to visiting again.
We sat in the last row of 118. Seemed like the contractor said, 'hey, we can fit another row here'. Yeah, only if you have shorter than normal legs. When we sat down our knees were pressed up against the seat in front. Ther poor guy next to us, who was about 6', lasted one period and never came back. Not comfortable at all!
