A.J. Perez at USA Today reports...Yankee Stadium's status as one of the front-runners to host the NHL's next outdoor game could be in jeopardy, Commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday.
"There is some construction going on, which may impact us," he said. "There are some winterization issues because it's an older stadium. As I sit here today, I don't know whether or not they can be resolved."

...why not move it to Shea Stadium? Although, as most Mets fans know, the parking situation would be a nightmare with the new CitiField taking up all the old lots.

Good, I hope the Rangers are not involved with this stupid gimmick. Anyone who watched this year's game could clearly see the level of hockey was not up to par, due to the snow fall. The last thing we need is for one of our key guys to get injured playing on an inferior ice surface. IN fact, last year's game made even the garden ice look good.
