I can honestly say that wherever the NHL decides to play games on New Year's Day, it's a good call because until Obama issues an executive order against the BCS, there really is no good reason to watch college football. It's increasingly becoming as real as WWE.

If it weren't for the Cotton Bowl going to be played in the new Cowboy's stadium, I bet Jerry Jones would make a push for the New Year's Day NHL game.

Did it ever occur to these morons that part of the charm of the whole thing is cold snowy conditions? They played up the whole getting back to roots/pond hockey. Wonder how many men in Vegas remember the younger days in Nev. playing pond hockey.

Cali or Vegas would be terrible for the next Winter Classic.

My money is on Fenway with the Rags/Bruins playing.

Why waste time in Cali for hockey. Nobody cares there!

Or why not hold the Rose Bowl game on ice? It might finally give the Big Ten a better chance.

Of course the Rose Bowl has sucked the past few years - because the Hawkeyes haven't been in it!

The way the last couple of Rose Bowls have gone, a hockey game instead might be more entertaining.

Chicago & Buffalo made sense for outdoor hockey games because it's, you know, cold outside in the winter. Vegas and LA don't usually suffer from such freezing conditions.
