I like that the rink isn't in a different zip code than the fans due to it being a smaller NCAA stadium as opposed to NFL stadium. Weather looks perfect too, cloudy all day and a tick below freezing at puck drop.

Next time it's an NFL stadium, they can just make a full 100 yards plus end zones sized rink and play 10 vs 10

I didn’t even know there was an outdoor game. But Toronto media being Toronto media, shocker they don’t say much about Detroit or Columbus. Not like the games trying to grow or anything
 
Might as well be a playoff game today. This very well could determine a wildcard in the East as both teams have a hellish schedule remaining.

Same zip code, heck. I live two miles away. I won't be able to make the game, but I'm thinking of leaving the windows open in case the cannon is audible from here.

(It's going to be cold AF, but I've got sweaters...)

I meant the playing surface in relation to the stands. When Gillette hosted Bruins-Habs the rink looked like it was a mile away from the stands. All that dead space on the field drives me nuts. Put some standing room areas around it ir something

The stadium is huge, and bigger than NFL stadiums. At least there’s no track around the football field which puts the stands a mile away. The seats are pretty close to the field.

It looks like the stands on the sides are a lot closer to the rink than most NFL stadiums from the few pictures I've seen. Must be deceiving

Back in the late 90’s there was still a running track in the stadium. When they renovated in the early 00’s they got rid of it and dropped the field below the water table and added the AA section of seats. This pic is from a game I went to in 2013 in the AA section and you’re much closer than it looks in pics.

You do know that Ohio Stadium seats more than 100,000, right? But you're right, most of the seats are closer to the ice than a baseball stadium.

We had seats in the end zone and ended up watching the game on the Jumbotron.
