It was awesome to be invited by our daughter and her boyfriend to a hockey game. Although the Preds didn't win, we all still had a great time. Watching a Preds game is a must do if you are in Nashville during hockey season. read more

At the time of writing this review, the Nashville Predators are the sixth-newest team in the 32-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. read more

The Nashville Predators are a good team, but they're not great. They have qualified for the NHL post-season playoffs 14 times out of the past 17 seasons, making it to the finals once, but still haven't won the Stanley Cup. They play their home games at Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville, and they have a very strong and vocal fan base, almost to the point of being obnoxious. R and I went to a Preds home game in late November when the Anaheim Ducks were in town. Since we're from Anaheim, we wore Ducks jerseys, and got some good natured ribbing from Preds fans before the game. Right after I passed through the security checkpoint at the entrance to the arena, one of the young ladies on the ice crew smiled and offered me a sticker with the Predator logo on it and said, "I think this sticker will go perfectly right over here" and pointed right where the Anaheim Ducks logo was on my jersey. Why is Nashville's NHL team named Predators? In 1971, construction crews discovered the bones of a saber-tooth tiger in a cave below the city, proving that they once inhabited this region. During the fans' voting process which determined the name of the team, the three names that got the most votes were "Ice Tigers," "Fury," and "Attack." The original owner of the Nashville team submitted another name "Predators" which he later revealed was the name of the team. I was very impressed by the loudness of the fans' cheers, and physical and vocal participation whenever something happened that triggered more cheers and hand gestures. I listened closely to their cheers and actually learned many of them, especially the ones cheered after the Preds scored a goal. Why? Because we yelled the same cheers after the Ducks scored a goal! Funny, though, that the Preds fans around us just laughed, maybe because they thought it was hilarious that Ducks fans used Preds' cheers. A Preds fan who sat next to R laughed when she heard us using their cheers and said, "Well, I guess it's fair, since the Ducks scored on the Preds!" The Nashville Predators and their fans had a lot to cheer about because the Preds beat the Ducks that night, 3-2, scoring the go ahead goal with less than 8 minutes left in the 3rd period. The Preds' defense stopped the Ducks from scoring after that. Well played, Predators! Predators players have been active in the community with several different initiatives. These include efforts with the Make a Wish Foundation, 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund, and local youth hockey programs. read more

This was my very first hockey game! And when I say there was much excitement.. I mean there was a lot of excitement! It was cold as hell! But apparently you can bring blankets. The announcers and the music just kept you moving and grooving even though the Predators lost! I will be going back! Do layer up. Even though layering up for me was not enough. I was still cold! But I still had so much fun! read more

Loved the stadium for the Predators game. We sat in the second to last row but something about the lighting and layout of the arena made it very easy to follow the action. Very exciting time. read more

When I lived in California I had two hockey teams within driving range (Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings) but I didn't even become a hockey fan until I lived in Nashville! I like to think that this is because the hockey team has such a passionate and vocal fan base. The Predators are so much fun to watch and the fan experience is like something I've never encountered before. The Team: The Predators as a team have done really well in recent years as they made the playoffs in 2017. Fan favorites include PK Subban, Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi, Ryan Johansen & Pekka Rinne (my personal fave and our goaltender). Former Captain Mike Fisher (married to Carrie Underwood) is set to return from retirement which has fans very excited. Fan Experience: When the predators score Tim McGraw's "I like it, I love it" commences playing and the fans have a coordinated chant taunting the other team ("We're gonna beat the hell out of you, you, you, you") which is more fun yelling insults than you will have at any sports game. The fans also have a tradition of tossing a catfish out onto the ice during the playoffs which is both disgusting and hilarious. Venue/Location: Bridgestone Arena where the Predators play is a great venue that is clean, friendly staff and the security lines are efficient. In this latest season ticket prices have really gone up, but there are still some affordable games depending on who they are playing and if you don't mind being in the 300 sections up top. The location is also walking distance from all the honky tonks so if the Preds win then you are already in the right place to celebrate! (or drown your feelings with a few beers) Take heed that on nights when the Preds are playing the cops will be shutting down lanes of traffic and parking will be harder to come by. If you see people flooding down Broadway in a sea of yellow you will know it is game night! A Final Note: Whether you are a local fan or just visiting Nashville going to a hockey game is a fun experience. I highly recommend checking out our amazing team! read more

We had a great time at the game! Honestly, purchasing tickets through Ticketmaster was the most frustrating part. Once we had those taken care of, it was smooth sailing from parking to entry! There is a long line, although it moves quickly, so allow yourself some time. We were about as high as you could be and still enjoyed the game! Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful fans and arena staff. Fun family activity!! read more

Whiskey row is where it's at. The best views from up top with all you can eat food and drink. Say, what?! I mean, who doesn't enjoy going to a game? And who can turn down all you can eat food and drink? Not me. I had a blast at this game. We watched the game from our seats at first. Then we ate some dinner and watched from up top for some. We finished up the game from our seats. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly. What a blast. read more

Nashville Predators - Preds v/s Blues - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This has been one of the WORST customer service experiences I've Ben apart of. A sales agent three months ago named Marcus promised and reserved 11 seats for a group package. I was told that a 20% deposit would hold my seats and that 30 days out I would be able to pay the remainder of the cost. I know come to find out that anything past 30 days that is a reservation they will NOT honor, despite still seeing my reservation in their database. I was then given the unfortunate news that now everything is sold out and there is absolutely no way to be able to get 11 of us into the game at all. When I asked to speak to someone with authority, I was told that wasn't an option either. Absolutely ridiculous that there could not be a solution found for a mistake by one of their employees. NEVER AGAIN. WON'T RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. read more

While the preds ARE a good hockey team (i say this as a blues fan) with rinne and subban. What would make the expereince a heckuva lot more fun and kid friendly is for the fans to stop being so toxic! during the playoffs in 2015 or 2016 i don't remember, the preds were in a tight battle with the blues in the semifinals of the western, and the main thing i took away from the series was preds fans chanting, "GOALIE" "YOU SUCK" and especially, "ALL YOUR FAULT" over and over. honestly, i don't think that's a way to win a hockey game. sue me if u want idc. read more

Woot wooooooooooot! First off, I'm not a sportz person, okay let me rephrase that. I enjoy watching sports but most of the time I don't really know what's going on. Which is just proof that even if you don't know anything about hockey, you should go to a live NHL hockey game, because you're still going to enjoy yourself. There's a totally different atmosphere at live sporting events, and hockey is definitely a unique atmosphere. It's cold, it's fast, it's tense, it's loud, it's just too much fun! And if you're in Nashville it's the Predators you're going to see! Worth every penny, and there are cheap tickets to be had! Check it out one night! read more

The Good: Pekka Rinne!!!!!!! Seriously; minus him and the Preds wud be average! They put on a good show and Bridgestone is a great place for a game. Let's Go Preds!!!! The Bad: The Preds opponents!!!!! Tips: Faster access from the door by the team store if you have Patron Club access on your ticket. The grilled cheese station outside of section 119 is great! They also have Dunkin Donuts and authentic Mexican stations. Ohh, and you can get Crown Royal at the Jack Daniels Bar!!! If your phone is low on battery they have free charging lockers in the guest services area where you can leave your phone plugged in for a period. If your trying to upload that great game pic to Facebook or Snap it, use the free WiFi in the arena; it's way faster than the overloaded LTE. read more

The Nashville Predators is a professional National Hockey League Club locally owned here in Nashville! Go Preds. The Predators team was previously owned by an out of towner but now the team ownership is a collective of mostly local middle Tennessee people and a couple out of towners. They was a little worry over the past year about whether the team would be staying in town or not, but it looks like, at least for now they are here to stay. The team is an NHL expansion team which has been in Nashville since the 1998-99 season. The team plays in the Sommet Center right in the heart of downtown. The games run usually two and half hours, with approximately 3-4 goals a game if it is a good night, all the goals belong to us! Tickets for the Preds games range from $19 and up if it is a college night. Usually the team plays 2-3 nights a week when the season gets going in October. Home games during the week usually have a fan give-away or promotional prize for going to the game. Also in the past they do a 2 for 1 deal on beers on Thursdays. During the intermissions they have a live band on the CMT stage. This is something unique to Music City for live sporting events. Anywhere you go in Nashville there will be a live band. The Nashville fans are known for being loud and fun and inappropriate, by shouting things like "(insert goalie name here) is a sissy" and screaming "you suck" when announcing the opposing team's names, and generally having a good ole' time. Occasionally I have seen catfish thrown onto the ice, I have no idea why... Their big rival is the Detroit Red Wings, so if you wanna see a good game, get a ticket for Nashville vs. Detroit. read more

Haha, so having been in Nashville in mid-February meant that: 1) it was icy and cold 2) in response the city FREAKED OUT Fortunately, after sitting around, wondering what to do in the evening. My friend searched and found tickets for 15 bucks. We obviously jumped at the opportunity to do so and later that evening we went. The first thing we noticed was that there weren't too many people and we could hopefully sneak down to the lower sections if attendance was poor. The second thing we noticed was that we were encouraged to do so. Our ticket taker said it was 'open seating' and we were told to try it and find out. We ended up in the 110s and got half price off beer and soda and free popcorn. In addition we got to watch the Preds beat the crap out of the Sharks 5-1. First it was fun then it was exciting and then it just became kind of sad watching another team just give up, although my companions got to see Carrie Underwood's husband play. Hey Nashville, if you ever freak out again because winter is well, winter and I'm there, hopefully the Preds are playing. read more

Ahhhh Predators. I will love you always (even if you don't win a Cup, thought I REALLY REALLY would like to see you bring one home!!).

Nashville Predators - Preds vs Canucks. - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

From out of town (Panthers fan) but HAD to experience hockey in SMASHVILLE! I know Preds haven't gotten to the promised land of Stanley Cup status but they have always been very competitive (unlike my lowly Panthers). They have the unfortunate luck of being in the same div/conf as Chicago and the West in general which is a real dogfight. But they have always had great defense, goaltending and coaching. Stability... something we aren't used to in Sunrise :( Anyway they had a "save of the game" special, a "Smashville" hoodie which my son definitely wanted for only $24. The goal song is appropriate, if not cliche, but also not to my taste of twangy country OR hockey. And their sound system is wayy loud. Oh yeah and cheerleaders? BUT I do love the crowd interactions. They have their own chants whether it be after a bad call or after a Preds goal etc. The concessions are great, BIG team store, live band (like everywhere here in Nashville), and a beer tap that fills the cups from the bottom! I hope to come back for a playoff game against those beasts from Chicago. This is livin' it up in SMASHVILLE! read more

Being a big hockey fan, I LOVE that there's an NHL team in Tennessee, and driving from Knoxville to Nashville isn't a bad trip. with the 2014-2015 season sporting a new coach and some fresh faces, the Predators seem rejuvenated and put on a great show. The arena is well suited to watch a game, and they do a really great job of keeping even the downtempo moments of the event interesting. I don't really care who they're playing, I'd go back anytime to enjoy professional hockey at its highest level. My only complaint? They have this stupid country song that they play every time the Predators score. I don't know who sings it(I think it's Tim McGraw, but I have no clue about country music), but it goes "I like it. I love it. I want some more of it." and then they change the lyrics so that it's about the Predators scoring. I get that country music is firmly planted in Nashville, but they've been playing that song as long as I've been going to games. I could really go for a new goal song. read more

Nashville Predators - Preds vs. rangers - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We have been season ticket holders from day one. The team has had good years and bad years but the good has always been better than the bad. I am proud for Nashville to have this team. If the Preds keep winning and the Titans keep losing, the town just might become a full time Hockey Town and not a Football/Hockey Town. The players do a great deal of work with Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and other charities around town. I have spoken with many of the players and coaches throughout the years and all of them have loved living in Nashville and several have even retired here. I for one am very proud to have the team here and proud to have the players and staff represent Nashville. Go Preds! read more

Nashville Predators - Go Preds! - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This is reviewing the Predators Store and not the team or the facility. I didn't see they had their own site. I am sure during game day, this arena is an awesome place to be. But I came during the summer, looking for a present for my brother who is a fan of Craig Smith's. I walk in and ask the first staff person I see, is there any Craig Smith shirts that are not yellow? I get a "no". I then ask, do you have any nice non-yellow shirts with a team logo on them. I get a "check over there" and a point. This is by far the worst customer service I have had since stepping foot into Nashville. Everywhere else, super friend service. I am wandering around this whole place trying to find a nice XL shirt that is not yellow. No one is helping me even when I try to get their attention and it is not crowded in here. Maybe only three other non staff members. So after fifteen minutes, I just walk out. I was a sale waiting to happen and they let me leave. Too bad I have to order my brother's present online. read more

Hear me out before you write this review off as a typical Canadian who would give a hockey game 5 stars even if it was played by toddlers with broom sticks on a tennis court. Yes, hockey is in my blood, and yes, I would probably go see those toddlers play with broomsticks if there was a puck involved, but you don't even have to know the rules of the game to enjoy a night with the Preds. Preds games are a strange phenomenon that I can only attribute to a bunch of rowdy SEC football fans embracing hockey in their own way. There is constant chanting and singing and taunting and hand gestures (not that one). The always lively section 303 will lead the arena in a cheer for just about every thing that happens on the ice. Even if you know nothing about hockey, by the end of the first period (there are 3, fyi) you'll know what to say when and will be yelling right along with them. Goals are celebrated with a 15 year old music video featuring Tim McGraw in Preds gear, if we score 4 goals you get a free Wendy's frosty after the game, you can score tickets to just about any game for under $20, usually on the day of (UNHEARD OF in most NHL towns), and there's a live band at every game between periods... How can you not love this?! Just like any professional sports venue, the beer is overpriced, you'll undoubtedly have some kind of bad experience with an overindulged fan at some point if you attend enough games, and parking is expensive unless you want to walk forever, but those are kind of in the definition of professional sports, aren't they? So head over to Bridgestone, throw up your fang fingers, pucker up for the kiss cam, and enjoy your solo cup of beer with the most energetic and loyal NHL fans you'll ever meet. Also, wings suck. read more

I never thought I'd become such a hockey fan, but the Preds have turned me into one, and a loud one at that! Growing up on the sunny West Coast, my peacemaker "make love not war" little self had never experienced hockey and just thought it was a boring bloody game with a puck I couldn't follow. But after I went to my first game in Nashville, I was hooked. The games are such a blast! The fans are crazy yet still friendly and fun to cheer with. Even if you don't know what's going on, which I don't always know, the fans' reaction will guide you through the game. The announcer Paul is outstanding--don't forget to "Thank Paul" one minute before each period ends (you'll see). In true Nashville style, there are always bands playing between periods. When I went the other night against the Redwings (which we won 3-0 thank you very much), Vince Gill and Alice Cooper were playing on stage together!! Seriously! I don't think I could make up that kind of combination. Center ice are always going to be the better seats, and are still good even in the upper bowl. If you're lucky enough to score seats close to the ice, it's quite exhilarating! Sign up at www.nashvillepredators.com and get special ticket prices and promotions. We got a Black and Blue pack last year that included tickets to 7 games (we got to choose most), plus a t-shirt and cap per ticket holder and food and drink vouchers for not that much. There are all kinds of ticket packages depending on what you want to spend, or you can of course do single game tickets, which I think they sell 100 for $10 on game day, first come first serve. The guy I order through is Will Myers and is great. Go Preds!! read more

Nashville Predators - Alice Cooper and Vince Gill up on stage together! - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

There really isn't anything bad to say about "Smashville". The Predators have one of the best values in the National Hockey League...if you don't have season tickets, you can still manage to find tickets to a major league sporting event for under $20. As Bart Simpson would say, "That ain't not bad." There's also free parking across the river at LP Field. You have to walk a little ways, but not many arenas in any sport offer free parking. And even if you can't manage the half mile walk to the arena, they offer a 3 dollar shuttle ride that drops you off in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Regardless of what some folks who have never been to a Predators game might tell you, there is ALWAYS a crowd there. This past season, the Preds averaged 94% capacity and sold out 18 of 41 regular season games...and the house is always rocking. If you love sporting events with an energetic, enthusiastic crowd, this is the place. We chant, we sing (occasionally at least), we taunt our opponents, we taunt the goalies and we cheer. Remember, this is hockey in the South. There is a genuine college football atmosphere to every game you go to - it's incredibly unique...I've been to a few other NHL arenas and have not seen anything quite like it. Simply put, I know plenty of people that have been to Predators games. I don't know a single person who has only been once. The Preds are like Lay's Potato Chips - nobody can see just one. read more

My family went to Nashville for a visit and we went to the Arizona/Nashville game, which are both my sons' teams. We went to the Patron Platinum Club for dinner first. The buffet is really well done and they give names to different dishes that correspond to the team in town. The service was excellent. We got to see the CEO who stopped by and said hello to us and then the General Manager of the Predators also stopped by and let us take a picture with him. The mascot of the Predators, who my older son follows on twitter, came by to say hi and took pictures. After the game, we stopped by the Fox Sports Tennessee booth and my older son was welcomed and got his picture taken with Terry Crisp who is an analyst for the team. Where the pre and post game and intermission for radio takes places, at Jack Daniel's Barrell House, my older son also met the main host who was very friendly. The team overall shows how much they care about the fan experience at home games. read more

The Predators game I attended was my first NHL game. I was totally unprepared for how exciting it would be. Growing up in the Deep South we really don't care about hockey. Football is our life. But, a friend got tickets and invited me along. Whoa! It was an amazing experience. First of all, the energy in the stadium is incredible! Also, the fans are so into the game. The lights, the blaring music, and the announcers energy all get you pumped along with the crowd. I know fans like the "give aways." During breaks or times when they smooth the ice a machine catapults T-shirts into the audience to screaming fans. They hand out plastic Predators cups, caps, etc. This just adds to the excitement. Of course people go for the food as well. It's your typical stadium food of nachos, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries, and soft pretzels, all served up hot! I'm not a big fan of that type of food, but something about the atmosphere made it delicious! If you ever have the opportunity - GO! Tickets are for sale online and at the box office. Depending on the night and the opponent, they can be sold out, so order early. This team is one of the prides of Nashville! read more

Crowded hockey fans jammed into seats that are not quite large enough, Fights on the ice, the fans on the jumbo tron, Nash flying above dropping tickets for free merchandise.

It is always a fun time at the Nashville Predators Game. read more

As someone who has upped the ante each season when it comes to tickets, I'm now a half-season ticket holder and couldn't be happier. The Predators supply great entertainment value. As everyone says, just go to one game and you'll be hooked! It's a great atmosphere to bring the family to enjoy a sporting event. With how many special deals they have throughout the season, it's certainly budget-friendly. The organization knows how to put on a wonderful show during the game and really get the fans involved!

BEHOLD THE GOLD!!! So the new Preds Jersey has been unveiled. After THE most exciting season in Predators franchise history (2010-2011) they have decided to go with a "dominant color" according to Preds CEO Jeff Cogen. Its replaced the very popular Blue and Black 3rd jersey. Which was one of the best looking throwback ,3rd, jerseys in the NHL. So, will this new gold jersey hold up and be as popular as last seasons black and blue? The "mustard" 3rd jersey had a strong following, but to tell ya the truth,,,I will wear my black n blue before the yellow gold. Regardless, the Preds will definitely continue to be a force to be reckoned with no matter what the color of their shirts are. Talent, teamwork, determination, and resilience will once again launch them into a playoff series battle. Hopefully a Stanley Cup!!! "Lets Go Predators!!" There's only 14 reviews for the Preds on Yelp. WTF Nashville? Really? RED WINGS SUCK!!!! read more

LOVE the Predators! My husband and I love coming to the games. If we lived closer we would have season tickets. The games are very exciting with plenty of entertainment in between periods. They have live music and contests. When my husband and I first started dating, our first date to be exact, we got swept up in one of the contests. I was in this bed that he had to push through an obstacle course on the ice and get back to the start line before the other teams. We won and it was fun and exciting! The wildest thing about the game we went to last week was the fight in the stands. One of the San Jose Shark fans swung at a Predators fan. He missed but then the Preds fan tossed him down the stairs. I've been to several games and this is the only time I've seen a fight in the stands. Security was there quick. They broke it up and escorted them out. You can't prevent people from doing stupid things in public like fighting so it was cool to see how quick security responded to the situation. Of course the MOST exciting games are when the Predators win. That makes me VERY happy! read more

This is the best ticket in town. The team is very good, and the crowd is rocking. Titans games are boring and you can't see the action. You are also in a stadium that is old and out of date. At Bridgestone you are on top of the ice and they have great spots to eat and get drinks. You won't be disappointed! read more

I love Predators games. Before my husband, I had never gone to a hockey game. I found the games fun from the start. I don't think you need to have a lot of hockey knowledge to attend and have a good time. The Preds also have a great entertainment staff because they pack the downtime with cheesy but amusing contests and such. They also play fun music and do a good job of working up the crowd, so there is always lots of energy! If I had my choice (and a million dollars), I would have my own box. The boxes are amazing. The seats are great for viewing and aren't removed from the rest of the fans. The food is always really delicious too. If you are thinking about splurging on one, I would say do it and invite me! Box or not, if you are the kind of person who gets cold easily, bring a sweater or jacket. It can get chilly even if you are jumping up and down dancing to that "I like it, I love it, I want some more of it" song they play after the Preds score! read more

I didn't get a chance to see a game here, but being a hockey fan I had to see the arena and check out the team store.

Great place for hockey. Very lively and fun crowd. Loved the "hey you suck" chant after the Predators scored. And they scored a lot.

The team is competitive and play a physical brand of hockey. I'll be heading back tomorrow night. read more

I love the Predators! I didn't grow up a hockey fan and never thought I'd enjoy the sport. However, I received a couple free tickets from work back in 1999 or 2000 so I decided to not waste them and went with a friend. I was amazed from the first time. The games are so much fun to watch live in the arena, which is one of the main things that impressed me. There are a lot of interactive things going on such as the floating Gnash balloon dropping tickets or the staff shooting shirts up into the stands. Also at the Arena I love the presence of Section 303 the Cell Block. That group is awesome with their cheers and enthusiasm and I think they're a large part of the reason for the success of pro hockey here and the overall volume of our crowds. I would strongly recommend that anyone who hasn't checked out hockey yet, even if you think there's no way you'd be interested, to go to at least one game and give it a try. read more

Very impressive group of yelpers here, just wrote a review on the Devils who have been in the league a lot longer, won some Cups but only 2 reviews! This is a big, big team to play against, especially down the centre with Gaustad, Santorelli, Fisher and Forsberg: talk about depth. And there's still Ribeiro too. I love watching the Predators (HOME ONLY) highlights: why? that's when the camera shows Carrie Underwood lol. back to hockey...you've got one of the scariest D man, and if Pinne can return to form, you guys can beat the Hawks this year, will be super tough... read more

Preds games are so much fun! I didn't grow up with hockey, but I love the energy from the fans in the arena. Make sure you take a jacket, possibly some ear plugs. read more

I've always wanted to go to a Preds game and finally had the chance to do so. These fans in Smashville are the loudest and most passionate fans I have ever seen. From the moment I entered the arena, fans were all pumped up for the playoffs. My cousin even told me he had to turn down the volume on his tv. THE FANS WERE THAT LOUD!!! Even though the Preds lost it was worth every penny to be at the game. Apparently you must be a resident of Tennessee to purchase tickets through Ticketmaster which is very interesting. Thankfully since I was standing outside the Arena it let me buy a ticket using my location. I did get a warning saying I must have a billing address located in TN but it did work. Can't wait to be back in Nashville! read more
