Gothamist: Will it Be Hockey to End Yankee Stadium?

I think the Yankees shoudl have the last game in their own stadium. However, it further promotes the honor it is to play in Yankee Stadium. If the NHL was to choose any outdoor site in NY (other than say, Central Park's Great Lawn?), this is the best option. I hope its Rangers-Isles and not Rangers-any Orig Six Team. The Rangers-Isles rivalry is as intense as any other valid rivalry in the sport, and I think it's better and more active than the Rangers-Devils rivalry.

Thank you to Politburo for pointing out the mistake the author made in writing this article. That's the problem with journalism nowadays. Too much opinion and not enough fact.

GEt an outdoor hockey game! The one at the Ralph was a BLAST! YEah, it was cold, it snowed, but we had a friggin' riot!

The idea's been polarizing the area since it was first announced in January. Peter Abraham isn't the first Yankee blogger to write about this issue. I'm fairly certain that RAB was.

Might as well add the Pink Floyd reunion show while the joint is still standing.

Don't tear the place down and just let the Rangers play there indefinitely. Let every Rangers home game be outdoors.

"The NHL had a very successful (for it) outdoor game this past New Year’s Day in Buffalo" Over 71,000 people attended the game. That's successful for just about any league.

It won't be the last game if they make it to the playoffs.
