Bettman Q & A

Gary Bettman was in Dallas last night and did a little Q & A with the media before the game…

Q.  What is the likelihood we’ll see another outdoor game next season?  Is Yankee Stadium a possibility as a venue?

COMMISSIONER BETTMAN:  ...We have no shortage of interested cities and teams.  And we’re exploring them.  One of the possibilities is Yankee Stadium.  But there are a variety of issues with respect to all of the possibilities.  We have to see which can be resolved satisfactorily.

There is some construction going on, on and about the Yankee Stadium area, the old stadium area, which may impact us.  There are some winterization issues, because it is an older stadium.  As I sit here today, I don’t know whether or not they can be resolved.  We don’t have a deal yet to go anywhere, but we’re in discussions with a variety of places, some that have been named, I’m not breaking any news here, Chicago, Boston, Colorado, Denver, Pennsylvania.

You know, it’s not about big markets or small markets.  It’s not about dominant teams or not.

Right, Gar. It’s about spreading hockey into every podunk town in the South and West where you can find two “fans” who know the difference between icing and ice tea. Ass.

I haven’t projected out because, as we discussed before, I haven’t anointed a winner.

You mean the way you and your zerba brigade anointed the Stars the winner last night? Ass.

I anticipate, hopefully by the time we announce the schedule in early July when we release it, historically on the day after the baseball All-Star Game, that we’ll know what we’re doing.

Historically, Gar, you’ve proven that you have no clue what you’re doing. Ass
