Nashville Predators to Host Gold Carpet Ceremony Before Team’s Home Opener

If you're heading to the Nashville Predators game on Thursday, you better dress up. The team is rolling out the red gold carpet to celebrate the team's home opener.

Players, coaches and broadcasters will walk the gold carpet along with a few lucky season ticket holders before entering a "plaza party" with a live band, drumline, inflatable games and, of course, snow blowers.

Because nothing says Nashville Predators hockey like a snowblower. In October.

Anyway, the team will also be giving away free T-shirts from Nissan, so if you forget to bring a change of clothes for the paparazzi, they've got you covered.

The Predators will drop the puck against the Phoenix Coyotes at 7 p.m.
