Ice hockey at Wrigley

According to Comcast SportsNet, the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings are scheduled to play in next year’s NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field. Yep, outdoor hockey.

Last year, a league-record 71,217 fans showed up at Ralph Wilson Stadium to watch the Sabres beat the Penguins 2-1 in a snowy outdoor contest.

Chicago’s Soldier Field and New York’s Yankee Stadium have also been named as possible hosts, although last week Commissioner Gary Bettman all but ruled out the latter.
