Otherwise, Yankee Stadium was in line to host the game this year. <br /><br />There is a long list of teams that want in on this game and no one west of Chicago or south of Washington has played in the Classic. Rangers-Flyers would be fun and I would want a NY-area rival, but I doubt either would happen.gstatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702544215244215284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893414226769963154.post-43708587229280526192011-01-06T21:51:25.100-05:002011-01-06T21:51:25.100-05:00I agree that NYC will play host to the next outdoo...I agree that NYC will play host to the next outdoor classic, and I have to think the new Yankee Stadium will be their venue of choice - I think it leverages the Fenway experience. I dont think NJ will get enough love, nor will Citi field. With the backdrop of Yankee Stadium, my money would be on Rangers-Bruins. While I'd love to see the NHL go with a regional rivalry (against Isles/Devils), I would say the only rival with a shot is Philly.Billy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836217445556397030noreply@blogger.com
