The Predators play in what I would consider the BEST arena in professional sports, Bridgestone Arena, but the location couldn’t be more perfect. I mean, just look at the picture above. You’ve got honkey tonks, bars, and eateries galore, and everything just seems to converge perfectly towards Bridgestone.
The big thing for me is the overall vibe on Broadway before and after a game, especially after a win, but even after a loss.
The fans of the Predators are some of the best around, and after a win the celebration and energy that pours into Broadway is electric.
Even after a loss, there’s a sense of optimism and hope, a belief in the team that is unrelenting. That, to me, is a big part of what makes Smashville the special place that it is, and what makes the Predators fans truly incredible.
