 Nashville Municipal Auditorium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nashville Municipal Auditorium (informally known locally as Municipal Auditorium or simply Municipal) was the primary indoor sports and concert venue in Nashville, Tennessee from the time of its completion in 1962 until the completion of Nashville Arena (now Gaylord Entertainment Center) in 1996.
The construction was the object of great curiosity in the Nashville area, in part because it involved the use of a tower crane; many were surprised to learn that this was to be dismantled and not serve as part of the permanent structure's roof support.
In September 2005, the Nashville Municipal Auditorium was used as the national staging area for donations of medical supplies and equipment being gathered to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

For the past three years, numerous Dixie Chicks defenders have praised their courage in exercising what is supposed to be the time-honoured American tradition of free speech.
The Dixie Chicks themselves have not shied away from difficult topics, whether in satirizing the bland corporate shlock often produced in Nashville (Long Time Gone) or in addressing themes of war and violence with tunes such as "Travellin' Soldier," "Goodbye Earl," and numerous similar songs on their new album.
Billboard reported in July 2003, "The Dixie Chicks are one of the hottest acts going, but one of their lasting contributions to the music industry may well be contained in a record of a different sort: the Congressional Record.

 Nashville Dixie Flyers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nashville Dixie Flyers were a professional minor league ice hockey team in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Flyers' purple-and-gold sweaters were perhaps things of beauty, but looked far more like those for a Junior or Senior team than those of a professional squad, at least during the early years.
The ice sheet at the Municipal Auditorium was undersized, but not nearly as much as the one at the Civic Coliseum in Knoxville which was genuinely minuscule and must have reminded the players, all of whom were of Canadian extraction, of playing on the frozen ponds of their boyhoods.

As he walked over to shake the hand of Flyers coach Bill Barber, Martin looked sadder than he did when the Senators were swept by the Maple Leafs last spring.
An ominous sign was his giveaway to Simon Gagne, in the first minute of the game, that delivered the Flyers a good scoring chance...
Not only did Ottawa/Hawkesbury lad Danny McGillis end the Flyers' scoring and power-play droughts, he almost ended Magnus Arvedson's night with a thundering hit moments later -- right around the same area Arvie left a chunk of his intestine a couple of years ago.
