The development of Nashville's new downtown arena exemplifies the city's changing persona and, in fact, has played a major role in stimulating much of Nashville's current urban revitalization. The new facility, which opened its doors in December 1996, is an exciting and modern entertainment and sports arena with the flexibility to host major national events as well as hometown entertainment. </div> <bR> <div> Gaylord Entertainment Center, initiated by Nashville Mayor Phil Bredesen and approved by the Metro/Davidson County Council in 1993, is one of the finest facilities of its kind in America, while uniquely embracing Nashville's heritage as "Music City, U.S.A." For the event planner, the spectator, the athlete and the performer, the new arena is equipped to deliver the latest in high-quality, "user-friendly" features. A soundstage-quality rehearsal facility is included in the design, making the arena a perfect site for concert performers. </div> <div> gaylordentertainmentcenter.com</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
