The Nashville Predators‘s home arena is opening its doors to people in the area affected by a deadly tornado that ripped through the city early Tuesday.

At least 19 people were killed and 40 buildings torn apart which has left hundreds of people homeless.

Bridgestone Arena said in a tweet Tuesday it would be opening its doors at 11 a.m., and the Predators indicated there would be pizza served.

Nashville was playing the Edmonton Oilers earlier Tuesday before the tornado hit and neither team was impacted as both made it safely to their next road destination.
