Ive never tried but just guessing it would be a little difficult to locate the puck and see exactly whats going on, or is this not a big deal?

I am going to the classic and I am fortunate enough to have good seats. I doubt it will be a huge deal of not having a good view. I am sure everyone will be able to see okay, plus if they dont the Bills have te biggest jumbotron in the NFL. I am a little disappointed they didn't fill the room around the rink with seats for people to sit in (they would've made a fortune off those) Plus, PuckDat is right, everybody will be drunk enough to not care what the view is like.

In 2003 the “Heritage Classic” at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium (football Stadium)was the first NHL game to be played outdoors where the Habs beat the Oliers 4-3. This game broke the NHL’s single-game attendance record with 57,167 fans in attendance. The used the big screen for the fans in the stands and i think that just being there was a big thing, even if you couldnt see the puck on the ice surface, hahaha. Being there was being a part of history i guess.

I'm pretty sure the game will be played right in front of you, should be easy enough to follow the play if not the puck. The puck might be hard to see from the nose-bleed seats, but it should be the only round black object out there attracting a lot of attention.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems these guys put in a lot of hard work in order to get their hockey career to a point where they can play in a nice, warm, state-of-the-art facility.
What happens if, as the forecasters are predicting, we get freezing rain? It will be like playing on a curling rink, with a whole lot of irritable fans.

I don't see much of a difference. Obviously sitting in the stands would be a lot colder than an arena. Unless someone's sitting at the very last section of RWS, locating the puck shouldn't be a problem.
I bet it would be fun to go to, but I don't know if my Florida body could take the cold for two-and-a-half hours like that.

feels like Yankee Stadium grew to become out properly. somewhat strange in line with threat, yet a minimum of they could certainly use the two end zones and characteristic the communities on opposite facets of the sphere. yet speaking as the two a Cubs and Northwestern fan, the belief of having a activity at Wrigley replaced into ridiculous. i can not believe that the NCAA and huge Ten signed off on the set up of the sphere approximately 8 months in the past and then desperate the day in the previous the activity that it wasn't risk-free. combine that with the puny little clubhouses (25 baseball gamers are cramped in there - what happens once you place approximately 60-70 soccer gamers in pads in them?). additionally, i think of, on an identical time as greater of a huge Ten guy (and an avowed non- Notre Dame fan) the history in the back of a protection stress-Notre Dame activity is a lot greater thrilling than the NU-Illinois contention ought to ever be.

I've heard that there is going to be one big hockey tailgate party on Tuesday so who'll care.
Real hockey fans know where the puck is by watching the players. If all else fails maybe they can borrow the FoxPuck.
The real problem will be the wind and blowing snow. After all this game is in Buffalo. If there isn't a fire in Lackawanna there will be white outs at Centre Ice.

Larest Weather report 6 " of snow by noon Tuesday.

Would you like a little glow puck to track it? Or will you be smart and follow where the action is going like all the other hockey fans?

Honestly, its not as much about the game,. as it is., just being there. Its a gimmick, to draw attention to the game, and have something big on national TV. I went to the Mich/MSU game in East Lansing, and it was a fun environment. Its gives the game a different spin, and takes it back to the old days, before indoor arenas. I would lke to go, but will definatly be watching it on the tube.

its going to be the same size as a normal rink and usually its not that hard to see the puck in the stands, of course i've only been to games at an arena so i wouldnt know we'll just have to see what happens.

I don't think it will be a big deal. It will be a regular hockey game, the only difference will be it will have an open ceiling instead of the usual dome.
