GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT STEPS UP ITS SUPPORT OF THE PREDATORS

          Nashville-based Gaylord Entertainment committed to the
     purchase of 500 NHL Predators season tickets, the largest
     show of corporate support for the team to date.  The
     Predators must sell 12,000 season tickets, including 75% of
     luxury suites and club seats, by March 31 in order to keep
     their expansion franchise (Predators).
          GOT TICKETS? Garth Brooks, Lorrie Morgan, Amy Grant and
     Vince Gill are among the country music stars featured in the
     Predators' new ad campaign.  The ads, appearing on
     billboards and in print, parody the "Got Milk?" campaign by
     showing one of the performers, with missing front teeth,
     over the tag line "Got Tickets?" (NHL Predators).
