About Bridgestone Arena
Opening in late 1996, this stadium was built right in between the famous Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The stadium was built in order to attract a hockey franchise to the city, which occurred in 1998.

Fan Tips
Bridgestone Arena delivers one of the most energetic atmospheres in the NHL, serving as home to the Nashville Predators in the heart of downtown. The combination of hockey and Nashville’s music scene creates a unique game-day experience.
Located on Broadway, the arena is easily accessible by car, rideshare, and walking from nearby hotels.
The seating bowl keeps fans close to the ice, helping amplify crowd noise throughout the game.
Concessions include traditional options along with Nashville-inspired food and drink selections.
After the game, fans can step directly onto Broadway for live music, bars, and nightlife.
Security Screenings
Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium. Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside. Pat down searches may be required.
Bag Policy
All large bags such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena. All bags are subject to inspection before entry.
Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
