===2010 flooding===
[[File:Grand Ole Opry Logo 2005.png|thumb|right|Grand Ole Opry logo used from 2005 to 2015]]In May 2010, the Opry House was flooded, along with much of Nashville, when the [[Cumberland River]] [[May 2010 Tennessee floods|overflowed its banks]]. Repairs were made, and the Opry itself remained uninterrupted. Over the course of the summer of 2010, the broadcast temporarily originated from alternate venues in Nashville, with Ryman Auditorium hosting the majority of the shows. Other venues included [[Tennessee Performing Arts Center|TPAC]] [[War Memorial Auditorium (Nashville, Tennessee)|War Memorial Auditorium]], another former Opry home; TPAC's [[Andrew Jackson Hall]]; [[Nashville Municipal Auditorium]]; [[Allen Arena]] at [[Lipscomb University]]; and Two Rivers Baptist Church.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://search2.opry.com/?view=events|title=Home &#124; Grand Ole Opry|publisher=Search2.opry.com|access-date=February 5, 2014|archive-date=January 7, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100107085827/http://search2.opry.com/?view=events|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Much of the auditorium's main floor seating, the backstage areas, and the entire stage—including the six foot inlaid circle of wood from Ryman's stage—was underwater during the flood. While the Grand Ole Opry House's stage was replaced, the Ryman circle was restored and again placed at center stage in the Grand Ole Opry House before shows resumed.<ref name="RymanCircleSaved">{{cite news|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2010-05-10-opry10_ST_N.htm|title=Opry House's famed circle stays center stage after flood|first=Peter|last=Cooper|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|date=May 10, 2010|access-date=June 29, 2015}}</ref><ref name="RymanCircleRestored">{{cite web|url=http://theboot.com/grand-ole-opry-reopening/|title=Grand Ole Opry Floor Restored for September 28 Reopening|first=Vernell|last=Hackett|website=TheBoot.com|date=August 25, 2010|access-date=June 29, 2015}}</ref> The renovations following the flood also resulted in an updated and much-expanded backstage area, including the construction of more dressing rooms and a performer's lounge. The Opry returned to the Grand Ole Opry House on September 28, 2010, in a special edition of the Opry entitled ''Country Comes Home'' that was televised live on [[Great American Country]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Country Comes Home: Grand Ole Opry Announces September 28 Re-Opening of Opry House as Historic Circle of Wood is Returned To Opry Stage |publisher=Grand Ole Opry |date=2010-08-25 |url=http://www.opry.com/news/2010/08-25.html/ |access-date= |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130831104817/http://www.opry.com/news/2010/08-25.html/ |archive-date=2013-08-31}}</ref>
