Shumway Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is this at the BuffaField or Heinz?Wait, nevermind. Unless the picture's not accurately rendered for the game, I'm not seeing yellow seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi74 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'm totally thinking about going to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 They couldn't get any seats closer to the ice?That's what I was thinking, too. I mean it might be out of the question to set up temporary bleachers because it would obstruct the view for people in the lower bowl, but I'd think you'd at least set up some chairs on the lawn and charge primo dollars for them. Or maybe they'll do General Admission tix so some people can stand around the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 There is another tread open which talks about the logo for the game, but here are the prices. I don't know what to think about them. Still too high. Then again, if it continues, you have to do it in a US city which isn't really NCAA football centric. AMP/NHL WINTER CLASSIC TICKET PRICESPress Box-$110 100 Level- $90100 Lower- $60200 Ends-$55300 Center- $39 300 Corner-$29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerJas Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is this at the BuffaField or Heinz?Wait, nevermind. Unless the picture's not accurately rendered for the game, I'm not seeing yellow seats.It's at Ralph Wilson Stadium, outside the City of Buffalo. The Buffalo Bills actually play in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Milo Meningocele Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The team end zones are a pretty cool idea. Did they do that at Commonwealth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZapRowsdower8 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The Penguins "endzone" is blue, anybody think this is a hint that they might be wearing some throwbacks? Yeah, me neither. This would be awesome to go to, but I can't see myself flying from Indy to Buffalo on New Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I know its New Years Day and all, but wouldn't it have been a better idea to have it played when there aren't a slew of bowl games being played that day to get some extra exposure?And, what happens when its an unseasonably warm 42 degrees or if theres a blizzard or sleet or whatever?

So 42 degrees is fine. As for rain/snow that's a risk for any type of these events I'm sure there is a contingency plan.As for Bowl games remember with the BCS the important bowl game isn't until a week later and overall there is only 2 BCS bowls are played that day both after this game would be over. I'm sure they did the research and figure ratings will be higher on New Years when everyone is home watching tv than another random Saturday or Sunday even p against some bowl games which are all lower level bowls at 1pm.

Penn State might be a factor, but right now I'm thinking Roses for them, so they'll play in the evening.

jkrdevil Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Also to note temperatures shouldn't be a factor. The league played an outdoor exhibition game in 1991 in Las Vegas in 80 degree weather. That was 17 years ago I'm sure the ice making technology has improved since then. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=337536 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hmmm... don't you think they'll take down the goalposts for the game?I hope to be there. I'll have to see if I can get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what there is something big going on in the sports world at any time except for maybe August. I hope you not suggesting they start in August. They start the season any later then the playoffs run into July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
