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.
