NASHVILLE (OCTOBER 11, 2022) – The Nashville Predators and hospitality partner Delaware North today announced a variety of enhancements ahead of the 2022-23 NHL season, including new menu items, retail offerings and significant technology upgrades to celebrate Bridgestone Arena’s 25th anniversary.
“We are constantly analyzing our operations to ensure our menus represent the best of Nashville and our technology solutions add value to the fan experience,” said Michael Geczi, Delaware North’s general manager at Bridgestone Arena. “We made significant investments across both areas this offseason and cannot wait to welcome back fans for what’s sure to be an exciting 25th anniversary year at Bridgestone Arena.”
Technology upgrades for the season include the addition of new digital displays around the arena, specifically at concessions stands and the main food court. More than 200 televisions were installed earlier this year, as well as 43 mobile kiosks that will display menu items, game feeds, sponsorship information and guest communications.
To celebrate Bridgestone Arena opening its doors 25 years ago, throwback and specialty retail items will be available at the Predators Team Store. Special items include a Pekka Rinne bobblehead, commemorating the Stadium Series and his retirement, new men’s and women’s LevelWear items and new Global Series items.
