Sport Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Ohio State's hockey team has thought about putting an outdoor game in Ohio Stadium. I think if you do it in late January/Early February it would be cold enough to accomodate an outdoor game between say the Blue Jackets and the Red Wings. Market it as another version of Ohio State versus Michigan and you could easily put 100,000 people in the seats just for the novelty of it all. How cold do you really need it to be oustide for the ice to be at an acceptable NHL level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how they pulled it off.Source (at the bottom of the page): http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=337536 Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame.
