[Guest Dump-N-Thump]

Whats the deal with tickets? Availability? Costs?

No idea tbh.

I just said i was giong because i live to close to not go.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Baseball field = so lame

But at least it's something.

Could always induce labor early...

Well if Wirtz were still alive I would imagine prices would easily top $1000 FACE, but I would imagine that face value will probably be around $120 for a right field box seat.

Thought of that. I am already getting the guilt trip though for making a trip to Detroit in October.

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

Robert Lang will score 5 goals in that game, including an end to end rush in OT, which will be remembered as the greatest goal ever.

Also, Lilja will KO Patrick Sharp, who will come back later in the game only to get KO'd by Kopecky.

Mark my words. These things will happen!

Too bad Chicago has to be invovled. Great to see the Wings in though.

It's an original six classic. I wouldn't want any other team but the Blackhawks to play. The two tops in the west should be an amazing game.

I hope so bad to be at this game. I'll only be 45 minutes away.

So does anyone have a rough price range for Winter Classic I tickets?

About an hour for me.. I can practically spit at Chicago from the beach here in St. Joe.

I'll be content to fly out to Detroit and see a couple of games at the Joe. Making that trip from the West Coast during the holidays would be rife with problems.

I wish it was at the BIG HOUSE.

I haven't read this whole thread, but I'd be damned if this was the first comment regarding that.

I was kinda hoping for a Detroit-Toronto game at Ford Field or the Big House. Maybe have a Cold War 2 has an opening act.

This is nice, though.

[robat 13]

Honestly I am thinking the game should be on a neutral site 1/2 inbetween the 2 teams who are playing - this way you can draw folks from each team equally and other fans from around the vicinity...

Sounds good to me... that would be Kalamazoo!

I'm sorry but I just gotta think that for as hard as it is to sell out the freakin' Joe Louis in the playoffs it might be a little hard to sell out a place like the Big House with ticket prices being what they will be. And yes, I understand that people from all over would come to fill up the Big House (or where ever here in Detroit) I would just have a hard time being embarassed and only seeing half the stadium filled. Who knows? Hopefully I'm wrong and my lack of faith in true Wings fans is not right... Just a thought.

OOh, somewhere near Toronto too? I'd make sure I got there with my gf and brother and dad and it would be ******* awesome. We can always dream, can't me?

If it is on a weekend, or New Year's Day I will be there. This sounds really good, but it should be played at Notre Dame's football stadium. The draw for both teams would be huge.

[VM1138 1,921]

I live a few hours away, but it'd be awesome and would be a good opportunity to visit Chicago. I've never been there. I'd make the trip, though it'd be weird to be so far away when viewing a hockey game. I'm used to the great seats at the Joe.

[BeeRYCE 2]

I'm hoping the jerseys worn are...

Step 1) You wait for the schedule to be announced.

Step 2) You wait until they give an "ON SALE" date.

Step 3) You refresh TicketBastard.com about 200 times in 30 seconds at 10am on a Saturday b/c these things are gonna sell out FAST.

See steps 1 and 2. 3 is optional if you live close enough to a box office.

[Majsheppard 203]

Man wtf, why can't WE host the game.

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

This is amazing, two O6 teams playing at one of the most historic stadiums in professional sports, I ma three hours away from Chicago...I'm all over this like white on rice!

[JayUp88 1]

I would love it to be in MI but hey I'm looking at it now as I get a vacation!
