Bridgestone Arena is home to the Nashville Predators and is widely known as one of the most electric arenas in the National Hockey League. Hockey hasn’t fared too well in many southern cities including Atlanta, Phoenix, and Raleigh. However, Nashville, Tennessee is a hockey town; make no mistake about it. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Bridgestone Arena seating chart to help fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Nashville Predators tickets.
Where To Sit At Bridgestone Arena
Bridgestone Arena is a very easy arena to navigate. There are three levels of seats; the lower level (lower bowl), club level (Gary Force Acura Level), and the balcony level. We’ll begin by discussing the lower level seats. Keep in mind that the names of the seating areas at Bridgestone Arena could vary from season to season.
Lower Level
The lower level seats at Bridgestone Arena consists of sections 101 through 120. The rows in each section will begin with double-lettered rows, often row AA, and will end with single lettered rows ranging from row P – row R. In some sections, row BB will even be the first row in the section.
The Nashville Predators bench is located in front of section 116. The visiting hockey team use the bench in front of section 115. The Nashville Predators shoot twice on the goal in front of sections 110 and 111. The visiting hockey team shoots twice on the goal in front of sections 101 and 120. Bridgestone Arena’s penalty box is located in front of sections 105 and 106.
Corner Pub Bench Seats
The Corner Pub Bench seats are located in between the two team benches on the ice (sections 115 and 116) and are the most unique seating experience at Bridgestone Arena. Many other NHL arenas offer similar seating experiences. There are four total Corner Pub Bench Seats. Season ticket holders that purchase eight additional premium lower bowl season tickets will have the option of rotating 12 guests in and out of the Corner Pub Bench Seats throughout the Nashville Predators regular season.
Fans with tickets for the Corner Pub Bench Seats also receive complimentary parking, complimentary food and soft drinks, and access to the Lexus Lounge on the Performers Level of Bridgestone Arena.
Club Level
The club level seats at Bridgestone Arena consists of sections 201 through 224 and offers the best views of the ice in the entire venue. The club level is also often referred to as the Gary Force Acura Level. The number of rows in each club section will vary from section to section. Row G will be the last row in the club sections; the first row in most club sections will be either row A or row D. Fans with tickets for the club level will have a much shorter wait for restrooms and concessions.
Balcony Level (Upper Level)
The balcony level seats at Bridgestone Arena consists of sections 301 through 333. The number of rows in the balcony level sections will greatly vary but will go no higher than row T. Row A will be the first row in all balcony level sections. It should be noted that people taller than 6’3 should avoid the balcony level seats at all costs. There is very little legroom for tall people in the balcony level rows. Also, good luck letting other fans out of the row without standing up.
There is a portion of the balcony level at Bridgestone Arena called “The Fan Zone” and consists of sections 313 through 322. The Fan Zone seats are located a little lower than the other balcony level seats and offer a similar view as the club level seats.
