I didn't even catch that it was the Wrigley Field sign until now, impressive NHL.<BR/><BR/>I would love to see one of these games, every year, on New Years day, because it was a bonus last year that I'm a Pens fan, but I would still watch these games every year. (And I'm a huge college football fan, and I would watch this over bowl games.)<BR/><BR/>Get some of these matchups though:<BR/><BR/>

i dont know<BR/><BR/>i want to see another Winter Classic<BR/><BR/><BR/>but i also wouldnt mind if they just left it at 2008, perfect game, bad weather, nail biter, lots of memories<BR/><BR/>would be a shame if it went to Chicago and it was just a bland game with no excitment

Oh, and to answer the question above, there's confederation park, which use to have the Rough Riders/Renegades, but they're busy reconstructing the stands... there's a baseball stadium, but I think it only holds about 8000 or so.

To Michael: I'm a big Caps fan and would of course love to see my team in a showcase event like that. However, it's just not cold enough here for outdoor hockey. We get some snow and ice here in DC during the winter, but it's unpredictable. On January 1, it's just as likely to be 60F/15C here as 32/0. Even with refrigerators under the ice they'd be asking for trouble. Have it in Ottawa!

Looks terric and I think it's a wise decision by the NHL since it incorporates the characteristics of the non-NHL venue into the logo which should further appeal to the casual fan.

The Winter Classic last year was one of the best experiences in my life. I can't wait to go to Chicago this year. What ever it takes, I will be there. And for one day only, I will be a hawks fan. Let's Go Pens.

I feel no sympathy for those at the Winter Classic last year in Buffalo. I was at the original "Heritage Classic" in Edmonton where the temperature was -25 Celsius (-40 with the windchill). Plus there were two games that day, so we were outdoors for 6+ hours. THAT was cold. It's also a reason it's not coming back to Canada anytime soon.

to Steve Pumilia: Chicago is geographically south of Buffalo. Having been at the Winter Classic last year i thought the weather was fine last year. the snow was great and really added to the outdoor feel of the game. as for the cold, i didnt find it to bad. granted, by the the end of the game, i couldnt feel anything from the waist down, but thats what happenes when your outdoors in the

I dont think that this logo is bad at all. My only concern is that last year with the snow, the conditions werent great and every on was freezing their bums off. Now they moved it more north and to the "windy city." Im not saying it shoud be great weather but you could move the date back to like November/December. You could even call it the Christmas Classic.

also like rangers vs Islanders, at new yankee stadium,<BR/>or the pens vs flers, at either stadium.<BR/>or Detroit @ colorado at mile high(thats a good one)

Looks great! I think that the NHL should give Canada a winter classic too. After all they were the first to stage the game a few years ago in Edmonton. I love the idea of one outdoor game per season, but give Canada a game in the next couple of years.
