NHL Winter Classic

[Illusion]

Forcast is calling for rain and a high of 47.

If it's raining they will postpone it to the next next. If not, will be played at the arena later in the season. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

im from pittsburgh...ppl here would be really pissed off if its moved, but id be willing to bet that it isnt.

The team and the city stand to make WAYYY too much money on the game if it is played. They wont risk that, theyll just make the ice colder and zamboni the rink/drain it more often. With how high tickets cost, and with how many people will be in the area throwing their money around, the city will not cancel the game.

I see you know nothing about ice/hockey surfaces. You can't make the ice "colder". The zamboni can't take puddles of water off the ice. If it is 15° above freezing, there is absolutely no way they play. Raining, all around it is not possible to play. Puck would stop every foot. You can't move the puck on a soaked surface. Just isn't possible.
