Review:
Since 2000, the multipurpose Nationwide Arena has been home to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ohio’s professional ice hockey team and a member of the National Hockey League. The arena hosts many events throughout the year, including the annual Arnold Classis, a fitness event by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Visitors come to the arena for an array of events and hang around in the surrounding Arena District to take advantage of the many bars, clubs, and theaters. The arena is famed for having an ice rink – one that is used as a practice arena for the Blue Jackets, for youth hockey games, and for public skating – and was the first NHL arena to have an on-site practice facility.
Nationwide Arena, 200 W Nationwide Blvd, Columbus, OH 43215, 614-246-2000
