Blackhawks vs. Red Wings at Wrigley Field?

Rumor has it that the Chicago Blackhawks will play the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL's next outdoor game, to be held at Wrigley Field. According to reports, "A Blackhawks spokesman told PA SportsTicker that the club has expressed in an interest in an outdoor game, but said the team is still awaiting a decision from the NHL." So would this be a good match-up and a good venue for the next Winter Classic?

Blackhawks could face Red Wings at Wrigley - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

The Blackhawks are going to play at Wrigley Field, we know, but we don't know against who, the Red Wings would be a smart pick because they are the Champs and because they are such a big name franchise.

That sounds great. Chicago was one of my choices for the next outdoor game. Maybe pick an easier opponent though, so the home team gets the win.

Soon, hopefully. Like maybe the 2009-10 season? In fact, they should host one of these games up in Toronto.

Part of me's afraid that'll never happen. I could be wrong, but I get the feeling this is part of the NHL's continuing efforts to attract the American audience, and that the sport's fans up north will get the short end of the stick. I do hope that's all in my head, though... it'd be nice if they'd reward the loyal Canadian fanbase instead of just taking them for granted.

Re: Blackhawks vs. Red Wings at Wrigley Field?

that would be horrible because we play hockey outside in the cold all the time (in the winter) - it's kind of our heritage.

And that's exactly why I hope I'm wrong.
Seems like the NHL's yet another sport who wants to win new fans at the risk of alienating their core fanbase.

You know what would be the perfect place for an outdoor, the Red Wings playing Toronto (to make BW happy) in Michigan stadium.
