I had a lot of fun watching it but I had to keep reminding myself that this was an outdoor game because the rink and visual clarity (over last year’s snow-fest) was just perfect. Watch the highlights:

It’s time for the 2009 NHL Winter Classic!!! The game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks airs today at 1pm ET from the famous Wrigley Field.
A lot of effort has been put into the event and I’m curious to see how close the actual rink will look when compared with the rendering. If you’re interested, check out these videos from the 2008 Winter Classic.
You may not be able to go to Wrigley Field but you can still get all the Winter Classic gear. Just visit the official NHL shop for more details!

With planned seating for about 35,000 fans, the 2009 NHL Winter Classic should be huge! If the rink ends up looking anything like the rendering in this video, it should be great. I enjoyed it last year but it snowed so much that it was a little hard to see what was going on (plus I was nervous that someone was going to get hurt).
Watch this video to see more of the plans for the rink and seating:
