Confirmed with Link: All Things Stadium Series

I can't see how they would sell out Ohio Stadium if it's not Detroit or Pittsburgh.

Chicago could work too, Bedard v Fantilli could be a better draw than a fading Pittsburgh or middling Red Wings

The more I think about this, the more ridiculous it is.

The NHL has played hockey in outdoor warm weather places on ice yet the reason we can't have one in Columbus played on ice is that it might get too cold for the facility.

Seems crazy when you say it out loud.

Why not just build a new Ohio Stadium? Make it able to handle winter events and wide enough to host a FIFA World Cup match someday.

Uh...it's THN so I take it with a grain of salt. But i'll believe it when I see it.

Multiple sources have reached out to THN Columbus and told us that the Blue Jackets will be hosting a 2025 NHL Stadium Series game at Ohio Stadium. The team they would play is rumored to be the Detroit Red Wings.

Per the sources, the game would be held "on or around" March 1st, 2025. March 1st is on a Saturday. March in Columbus, Ohio can be a bit of a crap shoot as well. Could be warm, could be cold, could be snowy, but will probably just be cold and grey, and hopefully not raining.

When do they formally announce those? I can't remember. Is it during the summer as part of the normal schedule release?

My MILs 50th birthday. We had a house full of food and no one could get there, except a couple family members who'd already come in from out of town. Like 6 of us ate like kings for a couple days until we needed to go out again.

Poor Portzline. So out of the loop. As is Hedger. Or maybe the Dispatch is just passing on rumors. We need real hockey reporters in this town.

The Dispatch is just passing on the THN rumors.

I had a friend of mine send that after telling them to calm down until someone from the CBJ/OSU or NHL actually confirms lol

Cool, love making plans a year in advance!
I'll be there, hope most of you can make it too.

I for one still don't believe it and am frankly inclined to view it as "too little, too late" in any case. It'd be nice if it actually does end up being a thing and still being significant, but frankly they're at least half a decade overdue and targeting the franchise at a probable low point.

I'm sure us having a top 3 pick that went to Michigan as well as having two other main pieces as well as possible 4th (and don't forget Blanks) all having ties was just way too much for the NHL to pass up on. That's a marketing layup.
