What the :censored: does the temperature in a city have to do with hosting the Winter Classic? The Rangers and Kings played a pre-season game in Las Vegas back in 1991. It was September. It was hot, around upper 90s/low 100s. The ice had no problem. Don't believe me?

Wasn't there an issue with grasshoppers jumping into the ice?

Tampa CAN host a Winter Classic!

Yeah, they did mention a lot of grasshoppers ended up on the ice, but I was referring to the condition of the ice itself, sans grasshoppers.

As far as the jersey concepts, the Lightning one seems typical of something they would try to do. For the Panthers, maybe just replace the main logo with their simplistic panther head logo from their alternate jerseys.

If this was possible, and would get enough fan support, THIS is what they should use.

Also those citing the outdoor Vegas game, should be noted that at night it can get a TAD cold in Vegas.

I believe Vegas can get cold at night during certain times of the year, but they mentioned the temperature at the start of the game was about 80-85º on a day that had possibly reached triple-digit temperatures. They used triple the amount of coolant as an indoor rink. That's all they need is a crapload of coolant.

Also, a few weeks out of the year, Florida can get cold, too. Remember the problem with the frozen oranges a couple years ago?

It was cold where I live a week ago (40 to 55 F).
