In reply to: How does a 1/5 game "surround" the Winter Classic on 1/1? posted by ShermanOaksND

The NHL is in charge of building and maintaining the rink for the Winter Classic. As such, it's up to them if they want to keep it up (and their outdoor crew in town) an extra few days. I was actually surprised when the schedule came out that the Michigan game wasn't scheduled closer to 1/1.

I thought maybe the BC game could be moved to the Stadium, but nothing has indicated that's the case.
