Dreger just talked about it on TSN as well.

Its obvious this is b/c the Super Bowl is local.

Lou's pull with the Yankees helped get this done.

 

Will there be a designated home team? I mean the Rags are New York obviously, but that doesn't necessarily make it their home stadium. I mean I'd like the Devils to take home at least 50% of the massive gate.

They may split the gate...but I expect the crowd to be about 65/35 for the Rags unfortunately.....

Not a fan of 6 outdoor games in 1 year, I think it's going to drain a lot of enthusiasm for the games even if it's the Devils. If they had to expand on outdoor games it would have been nicer if they did 1 per division per year and rotate through the 7-8 teams.

Rangers will be the away team for both games, according to ESPN.

 

"away" by uniform, undoubtedly major home ice advantage in reality.

i like the idea of the "stadium series". this is also going to add a ton of revenue into the league - figure 60k avg per game tickets sold = 360,000 tickets - avg price $150 = $54MM with those 6 games alone just in ticket sales.

 

Anything that makes the league more marketable is okay in my book.

Yeah, but the fact that the Devils are considered the "home" team is huge for our season ticket holders...it means we're all guaranteed seats.

 

Very true. I won't be able to go, but it'll be awesome for everyone who can. Definitely will be jealous and watching from Pensacola.
