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.

Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena
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.
The Columbus Blue Jackets’ 2023–24 regular season kicks off in October at home as the Blue Jackets face off against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Blue Jackets play their final game of the regular season at home against Metropolitan Division opponents the Carolina Hurricanes. Here’s a list of key games to keep an eye on:

Great game and entertainment. Seats are tight - 6 feet 2 inch and No legroom. Knees were against the seat in front. No shoulder room either- very tight.
Made a trip up from virginia to see my flyers take on the jackets. I've always had a fan boy side for columbus for some reason. Anyways, my fiance and i left at 6am to get to columbus a few hours before the game to grab some local food and walk around the city a bit. Got there at a little after 12 and was welcomed to the building by a huge image of bob and foligno (how can you NOT love these guys). The fans were incredible, very welcoming and very friendly people. The building was immaculate, greeted by some happy faces and yes! Finally after 6 1/2 hours of drive time we made it! Go to our seats in section 122 and watched my favorite tendy (bobrovsky) take some warm ups before the game and of course snagged some pics. Well, we all know how the game went. Bob shuts the door (thanks bob, i just wanted to celebrate once...but nooooooooo). Anyway, the whole organization was just awesome. The fanbase, the ushers, concessions and random guest services people were all just insanely friendly (yes despite my brightly colored winter classic jersey). The building is fantastic, for such a short story franchise the building has a very rich team history feel. 5/5 would and will definitely be visiting again. Must make a yearly pilgrimage to this amazing place! Thank you from the bottom of my black flyers heart for such a great time!!!
Love going to Nationwide for CBJ games, especially when they win. Highly recommend for a great gameday experience.
There were way too many Toronto fans. Blue Jacket fans need to support their playoff bound team and not sell their tickets to opposing team fans. It was even worse because the home team lost and I sat in an area with a number of extremely obnoxious and arrogant Toronto fans. I can't understand why anyone likes to go to opposing teams' arenas and show the world how ignorant and obnoxious they are.
This was my first time attending an NHL game at the nationwide arena. My interest in attending was to see my team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in an away game and to experience that. The Nationwide Arena has a great atmosphere, very clean and the staff was very friendly. The seats were awesome and for a great price! I would definitely attend a game there again. Only if they play the Penguins ;)
Again, we had an amazing time watching the Blue Jackets dominate the ice against the Sabres! It was also special because we brought our grandson and his friend to celebrate grandson's birthday. The boys had a ball and were able to see themselves on the big screen! Thank you, CBJ players and organization, for such a great time!
It's always so much fun going to a Jackets game. I would highly recommend going to a game!
Took the wife and daughter to there first jackets game. We had are blast.
Not a lot of scoring but we still won. Two great goalies playing.
My husband and I flew to Columbus for the game. We are planning to get to all (31) rinks eventually. The seats were great and the game very intense- ended on a 1-0 W for CBJ.We enjoyed the passion of the fans and CBJ fans were very friendly. We sat next to CBJ fans Julie and Stuart and they made us feel welcome and were excited we were watching their team. The rink was also very nice but I will remember the most the very nice fans at the rink.
The most spectacular hockey game I've ever seen - 7 - 0 . The Blue Jackets were on the whole game. Had to sit in Sec. 120 because regular seating was too small for a 6'3" 300lb. former defensive lineman, but, none the less, was never uncomfortable. Next time will order tickets, with appropriate explanation !
Got this as a gift for my parents and they loved it! Their first game ever and I think we have some new hockey fans! Highly recommend
The game was a good first game to go to. Ticket prices and concession prices were pretty high though.
First game after bye week - Jackets win! #CBJ!!!!!
Outstanding game - Jackets won 7-0. Seats were perfect and the arena atmosphere was electric.
Always a great experience at Nationwide Arena!! Blue Jackets games are always a blast!
Even though cbj lost, great game and great seats. Nationwide arena is awesome.
Despite out checking on Pens, the Pens got away with (1) point, which is huge even at this stage of the season. Forget about the (2) disallowed goals ,CBL gave up one bad goal off their own end face off. Yes it was a great game to play turn about from (2) weeks ago in overtime again. However the bottom line is we gave them (2) points in the last (2) meetings. We must get tighter before the playoffs, and continue on that edge. LETS GO CBJ!!!KEEP ROLLING ON, from Tony in Pgh...Yea CROSBY S....
This game was awesome. It was definitely worth every penny spent for these tickets.
Nationwide Arena was nice. I enjoyed the concourses more than the PPG Arena (Pens) - there was more space, no wait for concessions, and no wait for the bathroom (plenty of bathrooms too). The seats however were much smaller than PPG Arena. Area outside of Nationwide was nice / friendly as well. PLENTY of Pens fans too - maybe just as many of them as the Blue Jackets! Blue Jackets fans were friendly (no real heckling, even after the Pens lost). I would recommend at least trying once.
