Hawks/Wings to Play at Wrigley
Jul 18^th, 2008 at 1:44pm

CHICAGO -- Frosty baseball games have long been a fixture at Wrigley Field, where a stiff wind off Lake Michigan can chill fans, players and managers alike.
Now the Friendly Confines is going on ice. For one day.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks are taking hockey back outdoors when they meet New Year's Day 2009 in the home park of the Chicago Cubs.

It will be the NHL's second Winter Classic. Last season in Buffalo, the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 before a crowd of 71,217. Snow fell during the game and the Pens won on Sidney Crosby's goal in a shootout.

It will mark the third regular-season outdoor game in NHL history. The Edmonton Oilers hosted the Montreal Canadiens on Nov. 22, 2003.

The game, beginning at noon Central Time, will be televised nationally on NBC.

The matchup will be the 701st meeting between the Red Wings and Blackhawks

I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why

Chicago is a great place for the game, but Wrigley? Nowhere to park, nowhere to walk. I understand the historical value of Wrigley, but the place is overrated. Soldier Field or US Cell field would be so much better. Bad choice of a venue, especially in winter.

The Cubs should let go of it...See New York Yankees, they made the right choice.
