NHL Should Consider Outdoor Game In NYC

from Rick Westhead of the Toronto Star,
Imagine the international buzz the NHL would generate staging an outdoor game in New York.
The NHL’s U.S. broadcaster NBC seemed to have had this figured out. When it raised the idea of an outdoor game with the league last summer, one idea kicked around was playing a game – the Rangers against the cross-town rival Islanders, perhaps – at Yankee Stadium. But pipes under the field posed some kind of a problem and the prospect was shelved.
Yet even if that obstacle can’t be navigated, surely there are other venues in New York that could host an outdoor game. A football stadium like Giants Stadium could easily host an NHL game outdoors.
Central Park, meantime, would provide stunning TV pictures, even if the league had to drastically pare the number of temporary rink-side seats to satisfy the park’s operator, the Central Park Conservancy.
