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.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have played at Nationwide Arena since their inaugural season in 2000. Located in the heart of The Arena District downtown, the arena features a 1857 Napoleon replica cannon that blasts when the Blue Jackets hit the ice at the start of the game, when they score, and at the end of the game following a Columbus win.

    Blue Jackets

    by PhilW58 on 11/20/17Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    Enjoyed the game and atmosphere immensely. Sat in 204. Plenty of vendors and bathroom close. The size of the seats are very narrow which was uncomfortable throughout.

    Jackets great

    by Anonymous on 10/16/17Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    The seats were great. I don't think that you can get a bad seat at Nationwide Arena. The venue was easy to get in to as well as get out. Parking close to the Nationwide, cost was not bad for parking. Staff was polite and very helpful. Wide variety of food choices, even gluten free.

    Hockey was great - the venue - ehhhhhh?

    by CoachDoc on 10/16/17Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    Hockey game was INCREDIBLE! Great effort and fan involvement - almost felt like a playoff game in intensity. BUT - When I am the first in line (at the bistro near section 110) and order 2 burgers and 2 beverages - 20 minutes before the game start - I shouldn't wait so long to almost miss the opening faceoff. And no apology for the delay. And please turn down the volume on the music and video fill when the clock is stopped. Some of us actually enjoy chatting with the people that we came to the game with. I used to be 1/4 of a 2-seat PSL group. Do a better job and I might come back. If not, then I made the right decision

    CBJ Cup Run 2017!

    by TKinTroy on 4/19/17Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    Always a great time at Nationwide for a Blue Jackets' game, but a Stanley Cup playoff game is in a class all it's own! It really has to be experienced to be understood... An incredible start with Cam's goal at :11 of the first period, the building erupted! A great game all the way, despite the disappointment of a Penguins' OT win, but these are the building blocks that winning teams are built upon, and it was another piece in the puzzle of Columbus' rise as an elite NHL franchise... I feel lucky to have been there!

    Rookie experience

    My son wanted to go and we were able to secure good lower level seats. We all had a blast!

    Club level was well worth the money

    by Tazmyster on 4/6/17Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    First time we sat in the club level. We were 100% satisfied and really glad we upgraded and bought next years tickets in this area. Staff was overly friendly, food was awesome (and a decent price) and the lack of fighting the crowd made this area an ideal place to sit. We had 2 made to order stir fry dinners at a cost of $13 each. Deserts (Cheese Cake / Carrot Cake) were $4 each.
