BOOM. That is the sound of a Blue Jackets goal — and of the arena’s famous cannon celebrating it. A Columbus Blue Jackets game at Nationwide Arena is one of the loudest, proudest nights out in Ohio, powered by a fanbase whose loyalty runs deep.
Columbus may be a younger hockey town, but the energy feels anything but new: the Arena District crowds, the electric atmosphere and a team known for relentless work ethic and physical, hard-hitting play keep every game close and thrilling. Add great sightlines everywhere and one of the NHL’s most iconic goal celebrations, and you have a night out that converts even first-time hockey fans.
Game tickets start at $100 through Viator. Whether you bleed Union Blue or just love a great live crowd, a Jackets night is Columbus at full volume — dress warm, cheer loud, and watch out for the cannon.
