tbarg12 Posted January 1, 2019 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.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 2, 2019 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...”

Technology has improved since. 1

Marv's Neighbor Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Glad to see Global Warming is finally going to end.
row_33 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Would be great to attend this event, I don’t see the thrill of it on TV. they hype each outdoor game like it’s the moon landing all over again, seriously please.... 1

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.

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.

Gugny Posted January 3, 2019 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
