It is an exciting time in Nashville! Our hometown boys are competing in the Stanley Cup Finals and Music City is coming together to support the team. We have gathered a handful of ways to watch the games, support the team and eat some catfish. Let’s go Preds!

WATCH THE GAMES

Although watching from the comfort of your couch may seem nice, we promise you will want to be surrounded by fellow Nashvillians as the Preds compete in the Stanley Cup Finals. Head downtown, or grab a seat at the local bar.

THE BROADWAY SMASH: PREDS PARTY WITH A PURPOSE

On Thursday, June 8 and Sunday, June 11, head downtown to watch games five and six of the Stanley Cup Final.

For Thursday’s away game, the Predators plan to open Bridgestone Arena for fans to view the game. They are making 13,000 general admission tickets available with about 5,000 remaining. Tickets are $5 for season ticket holders and $15 for non-season ticket holders with proceeds benefiting the Nashville Predators Foundation. Tickets available at ticketmaster.com.

Lower Broadway will continue to be a dedicated fan zone as the Preds play. Two giant screens and a viewing area will be set up and the gates will open at 5 p.m.

On Sunday, there will be viewing parties on Broadway, in Walk of Fame Park and Ascend Ampitheater. Broadway opens at 4 p.m. and the game will broadcast live at 7 p.m.

The number of people on the Bridgestone Arena plaza for the Game 6 watch party has been limited to 300 (first come, first serve). Secure a wristband to secure a spot on the plaza.
