Nashville was rocking Monday night after the Predators clinched their first Stanley Cup Final berth in franchise history, and the well wishes were coming from all over.

The crowd inside Bridgestone Arena is famously loud, but the one outside was impressive too, with thousands gathering in viewing areas around the building.

Might be just as many #Preds fans outside as there are inside. #Smashville knows how to do it. #StandWithUs pic.twitter.com/lSM2EUFCk7

That made for some raucous celebrations inside and out.

The NFL's Tennessee Titans have been big Predators supporters, whether that means staying fully clothed at all times or not. Quinton Spain has clearly opted for the not.
