Final Game at Yankee Stadium... a Hockey game?!?

It's possible. The New York Daily News reported Monday Yankee Stadium could host an outdoor hockey game between the New York Rangers and a team to be determined. The game would take place sometime during the fall or winter of 2008-09 season.

The paper says momentum has built in recent weeks toward finalizing a deal that would have the Rangers play the final game in the storied history of the current Stadium. The Yankees, who will move into their new Yankee Stadium for the 2009 baseball season, are said to be completely on board with having the NHL close the 85-year-old original.

Tradition and history mean nothing in this country.  Make a few extra bucks on a hockey game and tear it down.

Maybe you'll get some people that fall to sleep at baseball games to actually stay awake for a whole sporting event like hockey.

awesome!! The Buffalo game sold out in 45 minutes - how fast do you think this one will sell out?

This is an awesome opportunity for all. I say go for it and we will be there!!

I do not think this is just about making money. Like the article said, the ice will be better than in Buffalo because of longer preparation time. It is perfect timing and I am sure that any NHL organization would love this chance. This type of outdoor game draws a whole different fan base.  I know people that got hooked on hockey just because of the outdoor game last year in Buffalo.

LET'S GO RANGERS!!
