Opryland could be closed for six months

Just as the Gaylord hospitality company was bouncing back after a year when nobody seemed to want to travel, its flagship property, the Opryland Resort & Convention Center, could be out of commission for as long as six months. "We have water in the tunnels; we have no understanding of the damage to the power plant. It could take three months, four months, five months or six months. The fact of the matter is that until we get the water out, we just don't know," Gaylord CEO and Chairman Colin Reed told The Tennessean on Thursday.
