Yesterday the Tampa Bay Lightning arrived to Nashville for their first ever outdoor game. Later tonight they will face the Nashville Predators in a Stadium Series game at Nissan Stadium — home of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. The Bolts are about to become the 27th team out of the current 32, to play in the outdoor game.
Both teams held their first practice at the ice of a rink installed in the middle of Nissan Stadium yesterday. The Lightning players showed up in a special Stadium Series jerseys with many of them wearing eye black to resist the glare from the lights.
