Walk in to the Ford Ice Center in Antioch, and you know something special is going on. It’s an impressive structure no doubt, painted in gold and blue inside and out, adorned with Nashville Predators logos up and down. As soon as you walk in, you know that you’re in a state-of-the-art facility. Just opened in September of last year, it still has the new building smell. Boasting two ice rinks, a roller hockey rink, meeting/party rooms, modern concession stand (with a pretty good BBQ sandwich), and a Perani’s Hockey World, the Ford Ice Center is absolutely the future of the Nashville Predators.
