How about Wild/Stars at the Gophers' new TCF Bank Stadium in the 2009-2010 season?

i've been begging for this since the habs/oilers game.

my vision:

old-timers game before the NHL game, with north stars/dallas stars/minnesota wild alumni (if any) randomly split between 2 teams, wearing north stars sweaters.

then have the wild wearing their red faux-back jerseys, and the stars wearing the 60's or 70's north stars unis.

numbers 8, and 19 would be off limits in the retiree' game. 7 would only be available if neal decides to participate

Isn't it kind of dumb to have a flame in the same logo as snow?

Huh, a flame? You know, it never dawned on me that that's what the amorphous blob of the Amp logo was. *shrugs*

I'm disappointed that the game has a corporate sponsor... but since it seems like they're using it as a college bowl replacement for the network, it makes a lot of sense.

I just hope I'm able to get my tickets today.

You go to the head of the class. A+

The Blackhawks would also be a welcome opponent.

Either way, it would be the hottest ticket in town.

Game sold out in 30 minutes I got my tickets at 10:05, section 335, row 19.

I want to second the guy who had the idea of putting a Sens game on the canal.

Make it so.

Could it work having two American teams playing at a neutral site in Canada...or even one U.S., one Canadian? By work, I guess I mean would it draw well in the case of 2 American teams? Maybe hold the game in a former NHL city such as Winnipeg or Quebec (assuming there's such a venue available).

In any event, Minnesota seems like a lock at some point. Denver would seem pretty logical too.

Phoenix v Chicago, in Canad Inns (nee Winnipeg) Stadium would work; with temp seats, they can cram 45,000 in there.

Flyers-Devils on the Schuylkill River in February.

Why not Blackhawks/Red Wings at Wrigley?

Don't you think Soldier's Field would be a better venue for that?

I'd love to see an outdoor Hawks game. They can use all the stunts they can think of to sell tickets. Hell, why not do the All-Star game outside? That would be interesting for a year or two at least. I might actually look up what channel Vs. was to watch an outdoor All-Star game.

[blueziggy]

originally Rangers vs Islanders at Yankee Stadium was floated as the New Years Day Game

[pukearrhea]

The Sens vs. anybody on the canal would be the greatest thing ever.

The only real problem I see is being able to get enough temporary seats to work in a place like that.

This event has quickly taken on the nickname of the "Ice Bowl".

Any chances the NHL changes the name in following years?

I prefer Winter Classic as the official, but we'll see.

I`ll second the outdoor All Star Game suggestion.

Actually I'd love to see a three-level tripleheader, for an all-day-and-evening outdoor hockey event:

MN high school: Two high-ranked teams, preferably a metro-area team vs. an outstate team. Centennial vs. Moorhead comes to mind.

College: Minnesota vs. Wisconsin

NHL: Wild vs. Stars, Blackhawks or Canucks

I would thoroughly enjoy that. An NHL outdoor game in the Twin Cities in THAT venue with the Minneapolis backdrop.

North Stars alumni wearing the 1991 jerseys and the Wild wearing last year's alternate jersey. I don't like this year's new home jersey.

Hopefully New York City will host a future game at Yankee Stadium (the current one or future one) or Citi Field. I wouldn't mind it at the future New York Giants/New York Jets new stadium, but it's technically in New Jersey and therefore the Devils likely would be the host team.

Speaking of the Ice Bowl, what about a game at the Frozen Tundra: Lambeau Field

[mjmatias]

I wonder which will survive longer, this annual tradition or this soft drink brand.

Here's hoping this is an annual thing -- Leafs/Habs at the Rogers Centre is a must one year

We could have an exhibition game at Dolphin Stadium in August...let's see how long the ice lasts

Been done before.
