Gaylord Entertainment Center

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: 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: 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 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: 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: 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: 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: New and Clean
Cons: Smaller than some arenas

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: 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: 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: 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: Nothing
Cons: Everything

I recently attended a Nashville Predators game and when i got to the enterance i was stupified. The people were packed into one space and people weren't allowed to go in. Once i got in, which was after an hour i realized the Interior of the Gaylord...

Pros: Friendly staff, great place to attend an event
Cons: parking, but that is not controlled by them.

I have attended concerts and sports events at this venue. I enjoy it all there. The box office staff are always helpful and friendly. If you need to find something inside they have a customer service booth and they are friendly also. The ushers help out...
