The good news keeps coming for the Nashville Predators today; Michael Cass at the Tennessean reports that the Preds have sent a letter to the Metro Sports Authority (PDF), advising that effective immediately upon Sports Authority approval, 501 Broadway will be renamed "Bridgestone Arena". The team is asking the Authority to call a special meeting for the express purpose of approving the name change.
This is a tremendous boost on the business front for the Predators, as their relationship with the Sommet Group soured over the last several months.

So what's it gonna be...
The Big Tire on Broadway??
The Big Steel Belted Radial on Broadway??
The Big White Wall on Broadway??
Or since it’s hockey we’re talking about…
The Big Snow Tire on Broadway??
What about the Bridgestone Arena Domain Name?
That ticket scalper still owns BridgestoneArena.com….are they going to take it or is he giving it up? http://www.coolsprings.com/news/bridgestone-arena-domain-name/
good question
If that story’s accurate, it’ll simply be a matter of transferring it to Bridgestone since he just wanted to “hold it for them”.

Nickname...
It’s hard to develope a good nickname for the Bridgestone Arean. I’m gonna call it “The 501” I think. Sounds classy.

I think we should use the entire name in all instances since they are paying for the name.
naaaaaaaaa. just kidding. I kinda like “The Stone”
