No baseball stadiums there too small. But I don't think they would do it at Beaver Stadium because I don't think you can sell beer there due to NCAA rules or something. But if they did I think you have to push the date back because PA is famous for not starting winter until mid January, but it doesn't end until late April.

The Winter Classic's value to the NHL is in marketing the game. The game is fine in Canada, but the opportunity to effectively showcase the game in the US is invaluable right now. Because of that, I think that New York and Boston are the most likely locations for next year. As both a hockey and baseball fan, a New York - Boston game in Fenway or the new Yankee Stadium on New Year's Day would really be something. Montreal would be great, but I think the chances of it coming to Canada are slim to none. The Winter Classic's value to the NHL is in marketing the game.

Definitely in America somewhere because the league needs to attract some new fans. I imagine there pretty much isin't even one person that doesn't like hockey in Canada.

But in reality, either New York, Toronto, or Boston. I would also say Montreal, but I dont think they have a big outdoor stadium that they could use, not unless they built a temporary stadium, or I am forgetting about a stadium that could be used.

With the Green Monster and the Citgo sign as a backdrop? I think that a showdown between the Canadiens and Bruins, or Rangers and Bruins, would be a great sell, and turning Fenway Park into a hockey rink would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
