[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 2011268, member: 85743"] This has nothing to do with north side vs. south side. If you're going to do an outdoor game in Chicago, Wrigley or Soldier Field would be above Guaranteed Rate in the hierarchy of choices. The ridiculousness of the Bulls playing a game an outdoor game in the south side isn't even worth responding to as an NBA team will not give up a regular season game for a gimmick like that, especially with the time of year the NBA runs games. The Winter Classic, Stadium Series, and Heritage Classic games would lose their uniqueness if you had every NHL team doing an outdoor game. Plus it wouldn't be feasible for most of the sun belt or west coast teams to do it aside from about a 4-6 week stretch in the winter. And there's not really good enough venues for many of the teams to play these outdoor games at. [/QUOTE]
