2013 Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium?

[seahawk]

The other 2 teams for the GLI will be Michigan Tech and Western Michigan. Interesting to see the Plymouth Whalers involved as they are owned by Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos. There has been a feud between him and Tigers/Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch.

In what would have been the 2013 Winter Classic yesterday (New Year's Day), the twitter world was abuzz with plenty of tweets lamenting the original cancellation of this marquee event.  Even actors Ralph Macchio and David Boreanaz had their say...and oh, the weather was "picture perfect", but cold...

No Winter Classic in Ann Arbor this beautiful New Year's morning, just classic winter. I hope 2014 is as perfect.

Ralph Macchio @ralphmacchio
No winter classic on New Years Day - Shame on the greed! NHL's epic fail. The fans always lose...

David Boreanaz @David_Boreanaz

Talk about a collegiate winter classic -- Notre Dame Fighting Irish & the Miami Redhawks played before a crowd of over 52,000 spectators at Chicago's Soldiers Field in the OfficeMax Hockey City Classic.

No big surprise, of course.  It would be quite something if the statistically better team when the game finally happens is the Leafs.  Nobody would have imagined that a year or two ago, but now it's more than plausible.

One benefit of the lockout is at least this game will take place when the Leafs and Wings are conference rivals once again.

True, hadn't thought of that.
