Reports are that the 2013 Winter classics will be held in Michigan with the Dead things and they will face the beleafers and it will be a huge event and not because of the Red Wings who fans will be there but it will be the travelling Maple Leafs who have fans that will follow them anywhere even if the Leafs let them down time after time. No matter where it will be held it will be sold out and TV ratings will soar and might be the highest rated Winter Classic in history and the HBO/The Movie Network Red Wings & Leafs 24/7 will be watched more than the other 24/7s have been in the past because the Leafs Nation is completely nuts.
The real question is where to put the game and the only place to hold this game is the Big House which holds over 100,000 seats that will all be filled and it will not be the first hockey game to be played @ the Big House as Michigan played Michigan State played a house game in December 11, 2010 and they set the record for the Big House with an attendance of 113,411 that is also a World Hockey attendance record.
It will be a huge thing for hockey and it may get attention in the States with the size of the crowd and the 24/7 ratings along with being on a national network in NBC and would be no problem to setup because NCAA football regular season ends in like mid-November so there will be plenty of time to setup the rink in the middle of the field with all around the field and it would break the 113,411 record without a question.
It will be cold but great decision
