Bridgestone Arena opened in December 1996 and became the Predators' home when the franchise began play in 1998. Originally known as Nashville Arena, it was renamed Gaylord Entertainment Center, then Sommet Center, before becoming Bridgestone Arena in 2010. The venue has hosted over 27 million guests. It has become synonymous with Nashville's emergence as a sports and entertainment destination.
