beginning in november 1999, the "opry" was held at ryman auditorium for three months, mostly due to the success of the january shows, but partly due to the ongoing construction of opry mills shopping mall (which replaced the opryland usa theme park in 2000) next door to the grand ole opry house. the "opry" has returned to the ryman for all of its november, december, and january shows every year since then, allowing the production to acknowledge its roots while also taking advantage of a smaller venue during the off-peak season for tourism and freeing the grand ole opry house for special holiday presentations. while still officially the "grand ole opry", the shows there are billed "opry at the ryman". the ryman also served as the primary venue for the "opry" in the summer of 2010 while the grand ole opry house was undergoing repairs after damage from a devastating flood.
