Bridgestone Arena celebrated its 15th Anniversary this December. From the opening event --- Amy Grant's memorable concerts on December 16th and 17, 1996 --- through today, more than 18 million fans have visited Bridgestone Arena for Predators games, concerts, sporting events, family shows, awards shows, and a myriad of other major events, making the arena one of the busiest and most successful facilities in the nation.
We want to thank you for supporting us over these past years. As several of our neighbors have mentioned in their videos below, the Nashville Predators and the arena were the catalyst for revitalizing Downtown Nashville and it continues to promote the city around the globe. it has been great to see how far we and the downtown corridor have come over the last decade and a half. With an impressive array of events already scheduled in the coming years and major additions joining us in the downtown area, we eagerly await what the future has in store.
