August 26, 200718 yr The Sabres are set to ring in 2008 at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Sources tell 7 Sports the NHL has just about finished off the planning for a New Year's Day outdoor game in Orchard Park between the Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The deal was rumored to be in place a few months ago but the league has been busy finishing off details the last several weeks. Now it's ready. The Sabres and the Pens at 1 p.m. on New Year's Day. Sources say the league will formally announce its plans in early September. http://www.wkbw.com/sports/9345086.html
August 26, 200718 yr Didn't the Oilers put on an outdoor game a few years ago? Yup I like the idea of playing outdoors, but the NHL will get killed in ratings by the New Years Day bowl games
August 26, 200718 yr Didn't the Oilers put on an outdoor game a few years ago? Yup I like the idea of playing outdoors, but the NHL will get killed in ratings by the New Years Day bowl games I dont think they are trying to compete with the bowls but rather to make an event out of a regular season game. It would be cool if they started playing one a year at different cities. I think there is going to be a college game at lambaeu field this year as well.

That would be pretty cool, but wouldn't quite work in Florida.
