I ka makahiki 1963, kūʻai liloʻia ka Ryman Auditorium i ka $ 207,500 a ua hoʻololi i ka inoa o ka hale i ka Grand Old Opry House, akā ua hoʻomakaʻia ka Opry e neʻe i hoʻokahi manawa hou i ka makahiki 1969, ua hoʻolahaʻo National Life i ka manaʻo e wehe i kahi ma kaʻaoʻao hikina o ke kauhale a me kahi hōkele ma ka hikina o ke kauhale a ua komo pū kēlā mau papa i kahi hale hou no ka Grand Old Opry.
No laila, i ka makahiki o ka makahiki 1974, ua neʻeʻia ka Old Old Opry mai ka Hale Hoʻokeleʻo Ryman a me ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Nashville e kūkulu i kahi noho hou ma kahi hale kūkulu hou i kapaʻia ka inoaʻo Grand Old Opry House.
I ka makahiki 1982, ua mālamaʻoʻAmelika Hui Pūʻali i ka National Life a he mau waiwai ia, a ma hope koke iho, i mea e hōʻemi ai i ka aie i loaʻa mai ma waho o ka National Life American General, hoʻomakaʻo ia e kūkā aku i kekahi o nā waiwai o National Life. Ka Hale HōʻikeʻikeʻO Opryland a me ka Hale Hōʻikeʻikeʻo Opryland, WSM Radio, Ryman Auditorium a me nā mea'ē aʻe.
ʻAʻoleʻikeʻia kahi hopena e hiki koke mai ana i ka Grand Ole Opry.
Ma hope o ka hoʻolahaʻiaʻana o ke kūʻaiʻia e kali nei, ua kūʻai aku kekahi Okikomo'Oleona a me ka hoaaloha maikaʻi a Minnie Pearl iā Ed Gaylord i nā waiwai no ka $ 225 miliona a me nā hana hoʻomau o ka Grand Ole Opry.
