That was awsome, now if only they could not give the Pittsburgh Penguins another Winter Classic.

When Qatar hosts the 2026 Winter Olympics, they'll build a hockey arena for 300,000 people. :tongue:

It seems like it would be hard to enjoy a game of hockey from that far away.

That was great. I almost went. Far away or not, the energy in the stadium seemed excellent.

If it makes you feel any better football is just only little bit better at that distance with there being more people on the field, players playing positions that are commonly in the same area on each play, players resetting positions after every play, and the field being wider so you're more often closer to the action. Hockey has none of those things. They could probably hold it in the middle of a super speedway to get half a million viewers at once if they wanted to but it wouldn't be good to watch while being there.

For me I just wouldn't find too much enjoyment sitting in the cold and watching a bunch of semi-chaotic dots off in the distance swarming quickly at each other that hockey would seem like from that afar. There is partly a reason why they have fans at normal hockey events right up next to the action and hockey stadiums tend to be smaller and that's so fans can tell what's going on in the game.

That's why you should stand in a crowd,
singing, shouting, clapping, jumping.
(Instead of sitting and waiting for the "Make some noise!" or a goal)
