I would be fine with this if it were played in a non-conference setting.

Very cool.

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

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.

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. :rolleyes:

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).

Re: SOLDIER FIELD 2013 • Wisconsin vs. Minnesota & Miami vs. Notre Dame

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?

Wow, such negative response...I'm kind of surprised. This is going to be an outstanding event...and a weekend in Chicago? Sign me up.

Re: SOLDIER FIELD 2013 • Wisconsin vs. Minnesota & Miami vs. Notre Dame

It'll be interesting to see how Chicago reacts to this... This will be a great way to see how much influence the Hawks have actually had on the marketability of hockey here... I'm sure UW and ND people will do a good part of filling the stands, so I don't think this event will fail.... The difference is going to be going from 30K to 55K with Joe Six-pack coming out...

Tickets went on sale today for the general public. Not sure about sales overall, but I tried to pick up some of the $40 tickets about 30 min after it opened up and they appeared to be sold out. Presumably they sold well to those associated with the schools ahead of time. Still, a good sign for attendance overall in my opinion. I hope in the next day or two we hear about some sales numbers. So do you have your tickets yet? Looking forward to some college hockey in Illinois!
