Winter Classic 2013 at The Big House!?!?!

[Wingingit]

The second time for the Wings. Meanwhile more than half the league has yet to play in the Winter Classic because for some reason the league feels only a select few belong.

Obvious issue is who can keep an outdoor ice surface going.

Second but no less important, is having the opposing team's fan base close, so that their fans can be at the game. If you have a game with let's say Wings Vs. Sharks, how many fans do you think will fly in for the game?
It would be a large majority home team fans. JMO.

That's awesome! Should be quite the spectacle.

EXCELLENT!

If they do a 24/7 special, they just need to follow around Datsyuk and Holmstrom all the time. Pure comedy gold...

@dchesnokov Dmitry Chesnokov
Q: Do you follow your own stats? Datsyuk: "I only follow the stats of my bank account." #RedWings (via SovSport)

official announcement tomorrow....

So epic. Man I want to go.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Great, now I have to pay money to see a fucking Maple Leafs game...

Finally! Hockey, beer coming to Michigan Stadium for Winter Classic between Red Wings, Maple Leafs | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

been reading that the 24/7 series might not happen next year due to poor ratings this year. The producers said that the winter classic event schedule is becoming stale

Hopefully they give it one more shot

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! If they don't do 24/7 then the Winter Classic is dead for me. It was cool when unique, but it's no longer that, but 24/7 made it epic. AND I WANT TO SEE INSIDE THE DETROIT ROOM. Datsyuk is far too amusing for this to go down the drain. Him and Geno were a riot at the ASG.

Mr. Hockey should take a shift in the actual NHL game and show 210 some elbows...

 

[higgyfan4]

I don't like Burke sitting so close to Holland.

Don't want any bad GMing to rub off on Kenny or anything...

Ann Arbour? lol... You crazy Canucks and your extra u's...

There's other cities close by. You can always room with Jeff Daniels, he lives in nearby Chelsea.

Traffic is going to be a bitch though.

No 24/7?
