Congrats to the NRG on Their Victory on Saturday

Congratulations to the Nashville RollerGirls on their 116-84 win over the Rollergirls of Southern Indiana on Saturday night at the Fairgrounds Sports Arena.

Due to my commitments to the Nashville Predators, I was unable to attend the preseason bout and provide coverage.

If anyone would like to submit a game story, we would be happy to publish it.

We are looking forward to April 23 for opening night against Kansas City where our game coverage will officially begin.

Welcome to The Suicide Seats

All it took was one trip to a Nashville Roller Girls bout last summer for me to become a huge fan of the sport. I have been including information about the NRG at our primary site, PredsOnTheGlass but decided it was time to start a separate site solely dedicated to my second favorite sport.

There is such a close connection between action on the hockey rink and that of Flat Track Derby that I hope to lure more Predator fans down to Municipal Auditorium for a sport that is perfectly timed to fill the void of Hockey's off-season.

So here we go. Any questions, comments, or suggestions are always welcomed.
