    I would be fine with this if it were played in a non-conference setting.
    Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
    dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.
    wasmania - you have to be the very best to get ice time with the great gophers!

      I'm not a fan of outdoor games but I guess it would be a nice showcase for college hockey. But why Chicago? Will it draw?

          When Wisconsin plays in its fifth football stadium do they get a free sandwich?

            If not it's own thread, the "Who will be the 7th member of the Big 10" thread. I still think the Illini beat the mild.., I mean wildcats to the punch, though.

              Sounds like a fun weekend of Hockey.

              The big question is will Bucky fans bring their own deer or will that be part of the Soldier Field hospitality package... stay tuned.

                At least one of the games will be well attended.

Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

                  As long as it counts a a Wisconsin home game,I really don't care. I enjoy watching the game itself too much to ever bother attending something like this,but that's just me. It just seems like the best way to watch an event like this is from your living room,on HDTV.

                    Good question, although nachos might be more appropriate. What does Michigan get? We've played in Football Stadiums and Baseball Stadiums.

                      I think both games will get good attendance. Miami has a very large alumni base in chicagoland and Notre Dame has a national fan base. Not to mention the close proximity of south bend to chicago

                        Why wouldn't Minnesota fans stay for the second game? Y'all are such great HOCKEY fans and all.

                          I agree with S4L4 - seems like there might be ulterior motive at play.

                          A weekend in Chi-town would be fun. I'll be there.

                            He meant the Miami - ND game with the proximity of their fans. Tipsy (a JBSU fan) loves to rip on Gopher fans for not traveling (although you could ask UNO fans about that one).

                              It's a bad idea. These outdoor games are way over-rated and are simply PR events. The quality of ice usually sucks, which means the quality of the games suffers greatly. It's never good when PR over-rules game quality. And the comments by attendees of outdoor games is overwhelmingly negative as far as the ability to see the game. As stated by others, UW and the rodents should be playing in either home state if they have to play outside. This will count as a home game for UW, correct?
