tbarg12 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Saw the NHL announced the 2020 Winter Classic to take place at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX. Living in Dallas, I would love to see the Sabres vs. Stars in a 99 Stanley Cup rematch with the Sabres wearing the black, white, and red throwbacks. Its been interesting reading comments on the choice, interested to see what you guys think as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 There are times they can’t keep good ice outdoors in northern cities. To paraphrase Chief Brody, “You’re gonna need a bigger refrigeration unit...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today in Dallas was a high of 41 and low of 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology has improved since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the first one and that pretty much took care of it for me. I have no real desire to go to another one. I actually wound up selling off the tickets I had to a BU-BC game at Fenway a few years later. Maybe it's different in the baseball stadiums, but the football ones are just too big for hockey.

Enough with hockey putting on these fake shows, up here CBC puts on some "hockey day in Canada" where they act like they are missionaries bringing antibiotics to savage peoples for the first time. They are putting on this fakeness for suburbs of major cities in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Heritage Classic like the one they played in Edmonton or some really cold place. The Montreal vs the Oilers game was great. I liked the outdoor game in Buffalo as well.

Nextmanup Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hockey and Dallas don't go together IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Nothing screams hockey like Dallas, TX. This is almost as stupid as having the NCAA Football championship game in northern California. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
