Sommet Center is owned by the Sports Authority of Nashville and Davidson County
and operated by Powers Management Company, a subsidiary of the Nashville Predators
National Hockey League franchise, which has been its primary tenant since 1998. The
Predators hosted the NHL Entry Draft here in 2003.
In 1997, it was the venue of the United States Figure Skating Association national
championships, and in 2004 hosted the U.S. Gymnastics championships. It was the home
of the Nashville Kats franchise of the Arena Football League from 1997 until 2001, and
hosted the team's revival from 2005 to 2007, when the Kats folded.
The venue has also hosted numerous concerts and religious gatherings, and some major
basketball events, including both men's (2001, 2006, 2010) and women's tournaments of
the Southeastern Conference and the Ohio Valley Conference. Since 2002, it has also
hosted a PBR Built Ford Tough Series bull riding event every year (except in 2005 and
2006). The event moved to this venue in 2002 after having previously occupied the
Municipal Auditorium from 1994 to 2001; during the venue's first year hosting this event,
the Built Ford Tough Series was known as the Bud Light Cup.
In odd-numbered years, the arena was regularly one of eight sites to host the first and
second rounds of the men's NCAA Basketball Tournament for the first ten years of its
existence, though it has been taken out of the rotation through at least 2011, partly due
to the obsolete octagonal mid-1990s-style scoreboard that hung above the arena floor.
It was replaced in the summer of 2007 by a new $5 million scoreboard and digital control
room.
In July 2001, the arena hosted the International Convention and Contests of the
Barbershop Harmony Society, with the quartet Michigan Jake and the chorus New
Tradition taking home gold medals. The center once again hosted these contests
in July 2008.
