Columbus Blue Jackets Tickets

Two seasons ago the Columbus Blue Jackets put together the first winning season in team history and also made their first playoff appearance. Although they lost in the first round to the Detroit Red Wings, it looked like the team was finally headed in the right direction after nearly 10 years in the NHL. But last season was a bit of a disappointment, as the Blue Jackets won just 32 games and failed to make the playoffs. Last season was the first under head coach Scott Arniel, so fans and management will be looking for some improvement in his second season at the helm.

Although the Blue Jackets have not enjoyed a tremendous amount of success on the ice, they do have one of the best arenas in the NHL with Nationwide Arena. Opened in 2000 at a cost of nearly $200 million, the venue has helped revitalize the downtown Columbus area, so make sure you check out the scene either before or after the game. Nationwide Arena has a seating capacity of 18,144, but that was far exceeded when the Blue Jackets made the playoffs two seasons ago, and once this team starts rolling again you can bet that Blue Jackets hockey tickets will be in high demand. It’s unlikely that the Blue Jackets will ever eclipse the Ohio State Buckeyes in terms of popularity in Columbus, but if they can become a regular playoff contender they could at least be a close second. So check out the Columbus Blue Jackets schedule and order your NHL tickets today.

Rick Nash has been the face of the franchise and the best player on the Columbus Blue Jackets roster for most of the team’s existence, and the team has made several moves to bring in some help for him. Goalie Steve Mason, who won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the rookie of the year in ’08-’09, looks ready to step up and become an elite player, and if that happens this team could get good in a hurry.
