That is strictly a unsubstantiated rumor. Who knows what will happen
way down the road (years from now) but for now, the Predators are not
thinking of going anywhere. Our attendance numbers have not fallen
off that much compared to the rest of the league.
If we have a winning season or make the playoffs, I can guarantee
that the numbers will be right back up again. Hockey is growing by
leaps and bounds here in Tennessee.
As far as Gaylord selling their share, that has nothing to do with
the success of the Predators. Gaylord has been selling a lot of
their holdings. My understanding is their biggest holding, The
Opryland Hotel, has been struggling the last couple of years.
I find it sad and irresponsible for the press to sit around and
speculate and to downright make up things just to have something to
talk about in the off-season.
