Gaylord Entertainment Center

Pros: Beautiful building, easy to find, quick in-and-out
Cons: Minor League Atmosphere

There is nothing that goes together quite like Southern hospitality and hockey fervor. And there’s no better way to treat your wife to an anniversary trip out of town than to seat her in the middle of a crowd of liquored up hillbillies out for blood and...

Pros: great layout, easy entry and exit, plenty of concession stands
Cons: needs more leg room

A while back I had the opportunity to travel to Nashville on a business trip. You know how that goes, you end up working like a dog all day, and then trying to find something to do in the evening. As luck would have it, we had a hockey fan with us who...

Pros: Food, seats, modern
Cons: strange interior color combination

Whether you're going to a hockey game (Predators), arena football game (Kats), or even a concert, The Gaylord Entertainment Center is a great place to be entertained. The interior colors are gold, navy, and baby blue. A fairly strange combination but...

Pros: Great fans who care about their team. Great design, easy navigation. Very helpful staff
Cons: Upper level concourse is too narrow Pro Shop is too small

I have been to a lot of Preds games at the GEC. I absolutely love the crowds in the place, as loud as the human ears can stand, even if there are only 12,000-13,000 fans at the games the best place to watch the game is in the upper level, especially ...

Pros: atmosphere, entertainment value
Cons: parking

The GEC as it is known to Nashvillians is a great host to the Nashville Predators and Nashville Kats. To me, there is no bad seat in the house. Even in the nosebleed section you can see the Preds and Kats play. It has plenty of restrooms (esp for the...

Pros: Great area.
Cons: Not a lavish building

What's the most important aspect in evaluating an arena? It might just be location. Or, as the real estate pros say: location, location, and location. The best arenas are the ones in the middle of a city. If you've ever been to Ottawa or Long Island for...

Pros: Good location, good set up, great entertainment.
Cons: None

Here is a layman's review of the Gaylord Entertainment Center. I do not spend my time traveling the world critiquing stadiums but I have been a few Predators games.

I have always sat on the front row of the upper level - the visibility is...

Pros: attractive, good seats, clean
Cons: a bit pricey, steep steps

The Gaylord Entertainment Center (GEC), formerly the Nashville Arena is one of the newest and more interesting addition to the skyline of a beautiful city. I happen to be a big hockey fan, and the Arena is a sort of symbol to me. It is a tribute to...

Pros: Nice addition to Nashville.
Cons: Expensive parking.

We go to all the Predator Games and have always been happy with the Gaylord Entertainment Center. Every seat we have sat in at every different level was a great seat. We sat at the very top when we saw Jimmy Buffett play there and even from there the...

Pros: great views, good prices
Cons: none

First of all, Predators hockey games are great! The staff has made sure that everyone has a great time and that the game was fan friendly and interactive.

Gaylord Entertainment Center (formerly known as the Nashville Arena) plays host to many...

Pros: Large, You can purchase mixed drinks as well as beer
Cons: Not well ventelated

I have been to this Arena a number of times. I have seen everything from hockey games to concerts. They only good thing I found about it was the sound system and the Jumbo-Tron. The parking sucks, they do not accommadate smokers, the food is way to over...

Pros: Excellent atmosphere
Cons: Pro shop sucks

Alright, alright, I know you are saying hockey in Nashville. Thats where all those hicks are and it gets really hot doesn't it. Yes to both but if you want to see a good hockey game in a great atmosphere this is the place for you. The (GEC) as its known...

Pros: New and Clean

An awesome way to welcome a brand new sports team is with brand new arena. The Gaylord Entertainment Center otherwise known as the GEC is a new arena to the city of Nashville.

The GEC features sports as well as entertainment. All the...

Pros: Good Sightlines, Good Food, Good Parking Situation
Cons: Bad Name, Ugly Paint Job Inside

There is nothing wrong with the Gaylord Entertainment Center except its terrible name.

This is a great place to go see any event, whether it be a Predators NHL game, a Kats AFL game, a concert, or even the Ronald McDonald Circus. The...

Pros: Seats, fans, atmosphere
Cons: parking

I go to college in Memphis and when ever I can make it out to Nashville to see the Predators play. Nashville has welcomed them into the NHL superbly. I was impressed not only with the fans but with the arena. There is not a bad seat in the house and...
