Nashville Predators
 PROFILE
Yeehaw, let's hit the ice! Home to more than just the Grand Ole Opry, residents of the Music City also have the National Hocket League's Nashville Predators to holler about. The Predators took to the ice as an expansion team in 1998, drawing crowds of howling hockey fans to the Gaylord Entertainment Center. The inspiration for the team's saber-toothed tiger logo came from the discovery of the nine-inch fang of a more than 10,000-year-old saber-toothed tiger uncovered in the Nashville area in the 1970s. Chairman Craig Leipold and his family own 80% of the team; Nashville entertainment company Gaylord Entertainment has 20% stake.
