zamboni Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 So I am watching Sunday Night Football, and they are advertising for next weeks "Bridgestone Classic" at Fenway. They have been playing an outdoor NHL game the past few seasons, anyone think the Wild will ever host one at Target Field? Be interesting to say the least, not to mention a ton of fun to go to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuggieDawg11 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I have always wanted to go to a game like this. So, I am going to this. Same idea just college hockey and in WI. Camp Randall Hockey Classic: Michigan at Wisconsin Hockey 2/6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainJam Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 It's inevitable. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Winter Classic Wild game at Target Field in the next few years. Playing a team like Vancouver or Edmonton would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAFly Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 As long as the Wild aren't a big market team, it will be very difficult for them to get a game like that. Until then, it will be teams like the Penguins, Redwings, and Capitals. Maybe when we trade Brodziak for Ovechkin When we do have an outdoor game here, I'll be there no matter what.

mr_jman Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I would love to see it happen and was thinking the same thing. It seems like just being the "state of hockey" that the Wild are deserving of an outdoor game. Either at Target Field of TCF Bank stadium or at a new Vikings Stadium!?!? Anyways the Wild hopefully will play in one and I'd love to see a game against Chicago, Detroit, or Vancouver! The first two teams would have good TV ratings and Vancouver is a good rivalry within the division! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkedAgain Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Right on, they could easily play at the new Gopher football stadium. It would make sense to do hold it on the Hockey Day Minnesota. I'd certainly pay a few bucks to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBuck Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's only a matter of time I think. I'd love to see Edmonton or Vancouver come on down to the cities to get pounded on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakfisher Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I would love to see it happen and was thinking the same thing. It seems like just being the "state of hockey" that the Wild are deserving of an outdoor game. Either at Target Field of TCF Bank stadium or at a new Vikings Stadium!?!? How are the Wild gonna play on ice at an outdoor Viking stadium in Los Angelos??? J/K it would be awesome to see the Wild outside. I think it will happen, we have some of the most stable weather . We have a serious number of sellouts, Hockey day in the state of Hockey. How about a high school day in the morning, Gopher/Sioux or Huskies or Bulldogs in the afternoon and cap it off with the Wild and the Canucks or Wings or even the Blackhawks that night. How's that for "Big Market?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spearchucker Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Right now they are touting it as the Winter Classic and using the Original 6 teams I think, but hopefully in a few years we can get something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
