Winter Classic: Leafs vs Habs at Rogers Centre with the roof open in 2027 or 2028?

What in the AI generated garbage is this?
Should make it Leafs vs Kings in honour of the world series.
Why are you asking me?
Yes I know the picture is AI, but it still made my heart skip a beat. I hope this actually becomes reality (even if it’s a few years down the line)
Winter classic jerseys designed after Jays and Expos jerseys would be neat
Baseball diamond is a horrible venue for a hockey game
They’re never going to open the roof in the winter. OP, guys… use your head.
Both roofs!
*assuming* they’d be able to do hockey in the skydome at full capacity, it’d be the 4th lowest attendance of any Winter Classic thus far at 39,150. Seems like a waste of the Toronto Naple Leafs, whose only previous Winter Classic was the highest attended NHL game with the Red Wings game with 105,000
Also the dome cannot be opened in winter temperatures. Especially in Toronto where we tend to get a lot of freezing rain. You’d fuck up the whole building
Can’t be done. They won’t open the roof in the winter because of the potential damage from the wind to the panels and ice and snow on the tracks and hydraulics. Find some other fantasy to post about.
Please!
Maaaaaan that would be so cool.
This is so obviously the right call the NHL will never do it. Instead we’ll get Ottawa vs Utah hosted by Albuquerque, New Mexico.
