DEVELOPING STORY: LP Field and Bridgestone Arena Flooded

The Nashville flooding is of, what the locals are calling, a 100-500-year flood...

It's bad news, folks...

From a sports perspective, both the Bridgestone Arena and LP Field are now underwater to varying degrees.

Here's video of LP Field's field underwater...
((HT: The Tennessean))


Bryan Mullen's update from the Tennessean has your LP update and the reason the field was getting water:

A Nashville Electric Service substation had to be shut down because it was being threatened with flood waters. When the substation shut down, it cut power to the stadium, which cut power to the stadium’s pumps.

A two-day cause-and-effect for a lot of long-term damage...
Within the last hour, the home of the Nashville Predators, now-Bridgestone Arena, has water on the ice level. Everything below is dressing rooms, and expensive video equipment...

Just what the Preds need right now...
Here's coverage from downtown with Dawn Davenport, Anne Holt, and John Dwyer... ((HT: WKRN-TV2/Nashville))
