The Nashville Predators have no intentions of leaving their home arena at 501 Broadway, otherwise known as Bridgestone Arena.

While other teams like the Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders have moved to newer arenas, the Predators are committed to staying at Bridgestone and constantly renovating the arena to remain of staple of sports entertainment in Nashville. 

On Monday, in addition to unveiling its new concession food items for the upcoming season, the Nashville Predators detailed the latest renovations to Bridgestone Arena and what is ahead in the coming years. 

"We're proud of the fact that this building's almost 30 years old and it looks brand new," Predators CEO Sean Henry said. "That's something we spend a lot of time, energy and money on." 

The Predators' lease at Bridgestone Arena has constantly been extended. Its latest extension, signed in 2019, had the original intention of the Predators signing until 2029. However, renegotiations extended the Predators' lease at Bridgestone Arena to 2049. 

Over the last 15 years, Henry said the Predators have invested at least $125 million in renovating Bridgestone Arena. In the same 2019 negotiation, the Predators assumed responsibility for capital improvements at Bridgestone Arena from the City of Nashville. 

"We believe in 24 years, when the building's 50 years old, this will still feel like a modern building," Henry said. "More importantly, in 20 years, it will be in place where you can take your grandkids, and show them where you were when we won that first [Stanley] Cup, the 3rd one, the 4th one, the 5th one, or whatever number will be by 2050."
