Winter Classic Overkill

[pixburgher66]

Now much of these are mere rumors, but holy crap there are six potentials. Toronto and Detroit is set. Rumors of LA/ANA in Dodger Stadium; NYR v. NYI AND NJD (TWO games for the Rags) in Yankee Stadium; CHI v. PIT in Soldier Field (already hosted, and already been in it TWICE); CHI v. MIN in Target Field (enclosed...you can remove the roof, but not quite the same feel).

#NYR #NJD #Isles Contract has yet to be finalized, though it's not expected to be an issue. Plan is to have both games leading up to SB week

I went to one and will never go back to another one.

However, i'll buy the tickets and pawn them off on some sucker for a few times their face value...

 

[pixburgher66]

Target Field doesn't have a roof

Jan 25th in LA?

Hmmmm.

Tempting.

 

[The Q stache]

Isn't LA gonna be too warm?

 

[pixburgher66]

I think someone on here corrected me: the issue is more humidity than temperature.

 

[pixburgher66]

That said, it's not really as "cool" without the winter-type atmosphere. Buffalo>>>>>every other one since.

Correct and it is unlikely they ever match that again, because it was a great game combined with the snowy conditions.

I thought Yankee Stadium had bowl games

That's why it's during "Superbowl Week"

Yeah, and everything would have been perfect that day if it wasn't for Crosby and those meddling kids. :shakefist:

Nevermind, didn't realize that

The goal is to maximize profit, but if you go to the cow too often it runs dry and you lost the cow. Okay, terrible example...but still. Sure, you get that money back this year, but then people aren't as eager to show up in other years...and there goes your big event.

It's not about the fans showing up, it's about the advertising revenue generated from these games. That cow will not run dry anytime soon.
