It was one of my favorite sporting events ever to attend, especially as a fan. The trip to Nashville this past weekend was perfect. Cold weather. Cold Bud Lights. Outside Hockey in front of a packed stadium of 69,000 fans. My favorite NHL Team, The Lightning, beat Nashville’s Predators, but this was more of a festival. Free concerts before. Then one hour in a Broadway Street Honkey Tonk. Then we walked the bridge with 40K other fans inside the stadium. During timeouts and between periods, they did what you expect Nashville to do, they rolled out musical act. Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Lit and others. The fans were singing, drinking and a good time was had by all. It was perfect. I hope you had a great weekend too! We do our best and worst of the weekend starting at 9:00am central LIVE on the App and our video platforms. – Jim Dunaway
