Home venue in Ticket Timeline's game data
The one building the Blue Jackets have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful confirmation when an old ticket names Nationwide Arena.
- Current home: Nationwide Arena (2000–present) — the Blue Jackets have played their entire history at this arena in downtown Columbus, with no former homes or previous arena names.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 2000, the year the Blue Jackets joined the NHL as an expansion franchise and Nationwide Arena opened.
If your ticket says Nationwide Arena, Ticket Timeline recognizes it as the team's one and only home arena—there's no earlier name or former building to reconcile.
