At the time of writing this review, the Nashville Predators are the sixth-newest team in the…read more32-team NHL. The Preds' first season was 1998-99. Since that time, the team ranks fifth in the league in all-time points percentage (regular season). After getting off to a slow start that included five consecutive seasons of zero playoff appearances, Nashville now routinely qualifies for the playoffs. The team won its first conference championship (Western Conference) in 2017 and advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals. All in all, not bad. The 2017 Finals pitted the Predators against the well-established Pittsburgh Penguins and NHL superstar Sidney Crosby. The Preds fared relatively well against the Pens, extending the series to six games which, unfortunately, ended on a 2-0 home loss inside Bridgestone Arena. That season (2016-17), Nashville was led by team captain Mike Fisher and guys like Filip Forsberg, Viktor Arvidsson, Ryan Johansen, and Roman Josi. Forsberg, Johansen, and Rosi still play for Nashville today and all three rank among the franchise's all-time leaders in points, goals, and assists. The all-time leader in all three categories is David Legwand. Legwand was drafted by the Predators in 1998 (2nd overall pick) and played 15 seasons for Nashville. The 2017 Predators were coached by current Washington Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette. Laviolette led the Carolina Hurricanes to the 2006 Stanley Cup championship and also led the Philadelphia Flyers to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. He's one of only four coaches to lead three different NHL teams to the Finals. Nashville's appearance in the 2017 Finals was the first time a major professional sports team from Tennessee advanced to a championship game. With Laviolette (2014-2020) and the franchise's first head coach, Barry Trotz (1998-2014), the Predators have had some pretty decent coaches. Now a seasoned veteran, the beloved Trotz got his NHL head coaching start in Nashville. Four years after leaving Nashville in 2014, Trotz led the Caps to the Stanley Cup title in 2018. In January 2020, current Preds head coach John Hynes signed a three-year deal that will see him through the 2021-22 NHL season. It will be interesting to see if Nashville sticks with Hynes past 2022.

The Tennessee Titans rate somewhere around three ("OK") to four stars ("Good") for me. On the one…read morehand, this isn't a bad team. They've had many playoff appearances. If you go back to the team's first two seasons, 1960 and 1961, they won back-to-back AFL championships. The AFL is what we know today as the AFC. Back then, the Titans were the Houston Oilers. On the other hand, since the Super Bowl era began in 1967, the Oilers/Titans have zero Super Bowl championships and only one Super Bowl appearance (Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000; 1999 season). If you look at the team's history as the Tennessee Titans (1999-present), again, it's not bad, but it's not great either. The team has made the playoffs 10 of the last 23 years. They've advanced to the AFC Championship Game three times (2000, 2003, and 2020 for the 1999, 2002, and 2019 seasons, respectively) and won the AFC title once. Jeff Fisher was the man in Tennessee (and Houston). He was the head coach of the Titans (and Oilers) from 1994 to 2010, 16+ seasons. He had to deal with rebuilding the team plus moves from Houston to Memphis to Nashville. Ultimately, Fisher went 142-120 (.542) in the regular season and 5-6 (.455) in the postseason as the Titans head coach. Since Fisher, coaches Mike Munchak, Ken Whisenhunt (Georgia Tech alum), and Mike Mularkey combined for only one Titans playoff appearance in seven seasons. Current head coach Mike Vrabel, who won three Super Bowls as a linebacker for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, currently has the Titans on the right track. Vrabel was a highly-successful player in college (Ohio State) and the pros and now he's proving his worth as a first-time NFL head coach. So far, Vrabel has led Tennessee to a winning record every year since he signed on in 2018. Since the 2019 season, the Titans have qualified for the playoffs every year. Also since 2019, the team's regular season record has improved every year: 9-7 in 2019, 11-5 in 2020, and 12-5 in 2021. Vrabel was named NFL Coach of the Year for the 2021 season and in February 2022, the Titans extended his contract. Rest in peace, Steve McNair (1973-2009). He was the Titans' starting QB in Super Bowl XXXIV. He was also the league MVP in 2003. Other standouts during the Tennessee Titans era include running backs Eddie George (1996-2003), Chris Johnson (2008-2013), and Derrick Henry (2016-present). I had Henry on one of my fantasy football teams last season (2021). He suffered a major injury in Week 8. Before the injury, he was on pace to be the top-producing player in fantasy football. Both Johnson and Henry won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award: Johnson in 2009 and Henry in 2020. Johnson and Henry are two of only eight players in NFL history to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a single season. The Titans are the only team to have more than one player in the "2,000-yard club."

The club level was excellent, and I felt it was a good value for the ticket price. Unfortunately, the Titans fans in our section were already inebriated at kickoff, and cussed each other throughout the game, and had to be physically restrained multiple times (they settled down momentarily when a security officer stopped by). My son felt unsafe, and I couldn't enjoy the game, wondering if I'd have to shield him from a fight(s). I doubt we will be going to any Titans games in the future, and definitely not during evening games.

Speaking of seats, there isn't a bad one in the place! Some are fully covered, others are partially covered and then of course they have those fully uncovered. We sat in the 200's, which was a wonderful view of the game, and as mentioned, gave us easy access to all the goods. Food options were standard with burger, hot dogs, fries, nachos and pretzels being available across most spots. They did have several local eateries as well, which is where most of us ended up grabbing something from. This includes pizza, chicken, bbq, tacos and more. Pricing for tickets was good, but pricing for food, parking and especially pro-shop was a bit more painful, so be prepared...cheap-ish to get in, but they get you everywhere else. The staff from entry to the store, food stalls and of course, exit, were all friendly and helpful. Overall, really great venue. Loved supporting the hometown team at Geodis and definitely look forward to visiting for all types of events!

They've got a home pitch now at Foster Ave. They just went to Dublin for the Bingham Cup and won the Bingham Plate Division. That's quite a large accomplishment, so congratulate them if you see any of the players. Yes, it's a predominantly gay team. Everyone, regardless of age, skill level, or orientation is welcome to come play. They are always looking for new players and will teach you everything you need to know. If you've ever been curious about playing, give it a try. They Grizzlies only had one home game this spring. Hopefully the fall will bring more chances to see them play. Go Griz!
