Chicago Blackhawk Hockey 
Modified By Michael Kenney  on 5/30/2008 8:18:58 AM)

What is this world coming to?

A hockey game at Wrigley Field?

I know the Hawks are trying to pump a little life into the product, but seriously...an outdoor game in January, in Chicago? There's potential for temps below zero, and wind-chills of -20f or -30f.

Good news is that all Hawks games are going to be televised for the first time in about 300 years, so we'll all get to see it. As Ernie used to say...."Let's play two!"

Re: Chicago Blackhawk Hockey 

Interesting they chose Wrigley over Soldier Field, since the previous outdoor games were in football stadiums.  Guess they didn't want to risk a conflict with a potential playoff game.

Thought compared to Edmonton and Buffalo, which is where they've done this before, Chicago may be quite balmy.

I suspect that John McDonnagh is trying to cash in on the Wrigley mystique, but the place only holds 35,000 or so, probably more for hockey, but still...Soldier Field would make more sense crowd-wise.
