I came across this picture of Whatever Indians Stadium Is Called (“the Jake” to me)…
Looks like they are having “Snow Days” until January 1 (see short video here)
This got me thinking…..this could be fun for Citi Field….but also got me thinking about the NHL Winter Classic.
I haven’t heard much about the Classic at Citi rumor in quite some time, but did you know the NHL is holding a second outdoor game this year?
What if this season, or more realistically next season, the Islanders were to host the Rangers at Citi? That could be a really fun event (I would go) and might be one way to see if Islanders fans can be motivated to visit 126th street.
Perhaps a Citi Cup? Maybe involve the Devils…the defending champion hosts the team that was left out the season before….so the winner of the 2011/12 NYR/NYI games plays the NJD is 2012/13.
Perhaps a de-motivator is that SNY doesn’t air hockey. Does anyone know how long the Cablevision/Islanders deal is? While we’re on the subject, can some bored politician make Cablevision offer MSG in HD to Fios?
Would you attend Rangers vs. Islanders at Citi Field?
