From Stan Fischler at Game On,
While Yankee Stadium would appear to be a sure thing for the NHL’s 2010 outdoor game, much will depend on how well the 2009 Wrigley Field (Chicago-Detroit) Classic draws at the gate and on TV. Another hang-up could be negotiations with the Yankees over use of their new ballpark because it won’t be cheap.
Another battle will be over choice of the Rangers’ opponent. Guaranteed, the Islanders and Devils will fight hard to get into the act.

“much will depend on how well the 2009 Wrigley Field (Chicago-Detroit) Classic draws at the gate and on TV.”
You have GOT to be kidding me. 40,000 tickets will be sold just to season ticket-holders of the Hawks and Cubs, let alone the Wings. Only a couple token tickets will be sold to the public.
Every Wings’ fan the world-over will be drinking Molson’s and watching on the big screen.

You have to remember this is Stan Fischler we’re talking about...if it didn’t happen in New York, it didn’t happen.

That might very well work out considering how close Yankee Stadium was to getting this year’s Classic, but come on Fischler. The guy basically pulls these things out of his 75-year-old tuckus sometimes.

if he is not on the rangers, the opponent should be whatever team Conklin is playing for.
