Rebuild your Blue Jackets history
Use that timeline when dating a night: Nationwide Arena opened in 2000, the same year the Blue Jackets debuted as an NHL expansion franchise, and it has been their only home arena ever since. Rebuilding Blue Jackets attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, arena names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and arenas. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.
