We visited Bridgestone arena for the first time recently while attending a concert and we were impressed. The arena is well laid out with lots of restrooms and concessions. The concourse is large so moving around is a breeze. The sound and site lines are excellent and the staff and security were competent and efficient. The arena and the area around it are clean and seemed safe as well. A we’ll run downtown arena.

Went to Queen with Adam Lambert. Sound system is amazing. Concert was awesome. My complaint with the arena were the prices first. 2 beers 1 drink 62.00. Seriously? Then the seats. Then only have about a foot of walkway in the aisles so anything over the 1st section you are unable to stand at all. Seats were tight so neighboring people were pouring over into my seat. Not good. But wouldn't have missed it for anything. Just know what your working with. Who doesn't want to dance at a concert.

We visited Bridgestone Arena as part of my quest to visit all NHL arenas. Located right next to broadway street with a ton of country bars and happenings, it’s right next to all the action. From the outside it’s very unassuming and king of just looks like one giant parking garage. Speaking of parking garages, I parked at the Hilton Nashville downtown garage, and it was a nice short walk to the arena and wasn’t too badly priced. We sat in the higher sections for the game, and although the view was great, the seats are definitely not big/tall person friendly. Very tight. As far as concessions go, we got the loaded grilled cheese sandwich that we were quite pleased with, as well as the all you care to have popcorn Zamboni for $35. Both a decent value. Please note, however, that the flavored alcoholic mixers they have at the one isolated stand down by the concourse is absolutely disgusting. They need to stop selling those. Before the game we had gotten notice that one of the players, Ryan McDonagh, was supposed to be signing autographs for kids down by the media booth that they have. So this man selling stuff in the booth was telling us to get ready by getting pucks for them to sign creating all kinds of hype about it. Unfortunately for predators fans and kids that had this man’s jersey, he denied all the fans any autograph because he was sour about getting their butts kicked. It’s a shame too because some of the kids were even crying about it. No swear though, as I went over to the color commentary and had Hal Gill sign my puck who is a much better human than Ryan McDonagh. Do better!

Amazing arena to watch a hockey game and the food is awesome for a venue like this. Yes, your going to pay premium prices for food and drinks and it is what it is these days. I highly recommend catching a Preds game here.

Perfect venue for the SEC Men’s basketball tournament. The staff was helpful and the corporate lounges had beautiful, delicious buffets. The seats in the colesium were comfortable and good view from anywhere in the house. Definitely would attend another event here!

We were in Nashville for the weekend for my sister in law's 40th birthday. We decided last minute to go to the Predators game at the Bridgestone Arena. We were one row down for the last row at the tippie top. But we could see so well. There is truly not a bad seat in the entire arena. We had so much fun! We will go back to another game next time we are in Nashville!

We’ve been to Bridgestone several times for concerts and saw Chicago and E,W&F last night. We do a lot of different live events at many different venues. Bridgestone is one of the best not only for its location but because the ease of getting in and the services provided. We generally walk to the venue from one of the many accessible hotels. Entry is smooth and security is excellent in helping get from one area to the other. There’s a variety of food and drink options. Of course the prices are a bit high but that’s the typical experience at most venues of this type. While I didn’t get many names I want to highlight one who served at the bar across from section 118. All I have is her name on a receipt but Jamie L. was super nice and, though very busy, seemed to enjoy her job and mixed well with her patrons. Thanks to Bridgestone for having such nice people on staff to make the experiences even better.

First visit to the arena, we saw Chris Stapleton….awesome venue! Well organized, great seats, good food and actually reasonably priced! Would DEF fly back in town again to attend another event here!
