Predators to host ‘College Nights’ again this season

Hockey games tend to get pricey, but the Nashville Predators are offering discounted ticket prices on college nights when students present their college id at the ticket office.
There are eight college night games between February and April. The first is Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. when the Predators take on the LA Kings.
Upper bowl tickets are on sale for $15 and lower bowl tickets for $30.
Tech student Callen Harrell has attended many college nights at the Bridgestone Arena. “I think it brings a younger, more energetic crowd to an already famously rowdy arena,” said Harrell. “You’re guaranteed to have fun whether the Preds win or lose, and if you don’t then you went with the wrong people.”
The Bridgestone Arena is one hour and 20 minutes away from TTU’s campus. It is located at 501 Broadway, Nashville, TN, 37203.
For those who want to head down before the game to grab a bite to eat, Broadway is the place to be. A popular, but more expensive place to go is Palm restaurant, located across the street from the arena. A few blocks up on the corner of Third and Commerce, Demos’ is an inexpensive restaurant with quality food.
“Hockey games are a lot of fun,” said TTU freshmen, Cara Hughey. “I have never been to a Nashville Predators game but hearing about college night makes me really want to check it out sometime.”
Parking is available throughout the city with prices averaging at $10.
