Blackhawks rivals, Nasvhille Predators, reveal $750 million in upgrades incoming to team facility and more

NHL Insider Kevin Weekes made the announcement on "X" today, that the team will be committing $750 Million dollars to continue its "transformational development" of the arena.

Not only that but they will help upgrade the community on Broadway as well. The Predators have had a short-stint of success, their first since 2017 when they faced off against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup finals.

With a growing fandom, amidst a chaotic season with a record of 3-5-1, perhaps gaining credibility with fans isn't such a bad idea.

The Haslam family is notorious for their ownership of the Columbus Crew, and Cleveland Browns. They have struck gold in Columbus, but have failed miserably with the Browns.

Bill Haslam is the owner of the Nashville Predators through Predators Holdings LLC and has made big acquisitions in Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei during the offseason.

This was to capitalize upon the team's short-term success, at the end of 2023-2024 where they'd make it to the first round of the NHL playoffs. But were soundly defeated by the upstart Vancouver Canucks.

The Predators don't want to waste goodwill, and die-hard fandom as they unlike a lot of sports teams will keep the community surrounding them thriving as well.

GM Barry Trotz also made the big decision to hire Andrew Brunette in 2023-2024, which was part of the team's recent successes.

The team is one of the Chicago Blackhawk's bigger rivalries and has shared the Central Division since 1998.

With the major announcement of reinvestment into the Bridgestone Arena, and the Broadway community, will this spur Danny Wirtz and Jamie Faulkner into action with the United Center?
