Let's Go Predators!

If you can't afford 1,000 bucks for the nose bleed seats at Bridgestone for the Predators competing against the Pittsburgh Penguins for the Stanley Cup,  I've got another fun way to watch it.
Last night dad's friend asked him to meet downtown at a private club pre Predators game so me and my mom dropped him off. It was crazy! It took us an hour to get out of the traffic. Every one I saw was wearing yellow to show pride in our team. While stuck in traffic I saw Florida Georgia Line taking pictures with people downtown which was really awesome. Mom and I decided to park on Music Row and walk the 1.2 miles there to check it out for ourselves. The walk was tiring but it was worth it. We saw a tent with Predators merchandise and fidgit spinners, that's hilarious I think. We saw guys with signs saying "I need tickets". We saw a sign that says "Catfish disposal" on a trashcan because people take dead catfish and throw them onto the ice for some odd reason. We walked past the security checks at Bridgestone and I told the policemen "better check them for catfish" That was super funny, i think one of the security guards laughed. Then we saw a big screen for fans to watch the game set up in the middle of Broadway and 5th avenue. Dad ended up meeting us there and we watched 25 minutes with a huge crowd, there were thousands of people, I have never seen downtown that crowded. They kept showing our crowd watching the game on the screen, it was exciting! It was broadcast all over America and don't forget NBC Telenmundo (their Spanish version) and don't forget Canada! Ha!
There was also a screening at Ascend Ampitheater , but parking was hard for us to get to. Mayor Megan Berry was in the spirit by making yesterday Predators Pride Day, renaming 5th Avenue "Predators Way" this month and even wrote a letter to people telling them to please excuse their employees if they were late for work today.
We ended up watching the rest from home and guess what...they won! 4 to 1! So now they are tied with 2 wins each. We want that Stanley Cup! Let's go Predators!!!
