Buccigross: Wings will play Blue Jackets at Ohio Stadium on March 1, 2025

I would like to attend this. Probably won't, but would be cool

I am both happy for Columbus fans to get to host an outdoor game and sad that the Wings have to play in OSU's barn.

It's a unique way to showcase the Michigan and Ohio State rivalry. That's for sure.

Only 3.5k? G-ddamn. My high school's stadium (also, amusingly, host to the Golden Bears) has more than double that at 8641:

Seriously, this was my local high school growing up, listed as seating 10k. Apparently used to be listed as fitting 12k, but that was a matter of reclassifying how many people could fit on each bleacher.

Of course, a D3 college also uses it and it's the largest in their division.

Gotta say, it looks a lot prettier without the track around it. Spent a lot of middle school PE on that track...

I'm excited for it. I get that its not for everyone, but for me, these games are always fun.

Do we know what the '24-'25 NCAA schedule looks like? Wondering if NHL can work with NCAA/Big Ten to sweeten the deal with Michigan v Ohio State.
