Red Rising

It seems that whenever certain friends and I talk about things those things start to become reality or close to it.

The Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Park District seem to be the latest in the wave of outdoor hockey enthusiasts. Talk seems to be that the Blackhawks could consider playing a game in the Chicago elements.

Soldier Field is one possible site, but what could really be more interesting would be a game (or two) at Wrigley Field.

How could the NHL ever pass on the PR this would generate? Have the Blackhawks play another original six team. The bad news could be that since ratings for a game like this would be higher anyway, you might end up with the Atlanta Thrashers or Tampa Bay Lightning instead of a Toronto, Montreal or Detroit vs. Chicago match up.
