08:28 AM ET 11.02 | Why the rush to cancel the Winter Classic? Waiting any longer would start costing the league a chunk of its $3-million rental fee of the University of Michigan Stadium. Meanwhile, in Ann Arbor itself, thoughts are already turning to staging the game on New Years Day 2014, with the same teams. Nothing has been discussed, but both Original Six teams would be willing to return, not to mention the 100,000-plus fans who would have set an NHL record. "To say the game will be sorely missed this January is obvious," said Diane Keller, president of the Ann Arbor chamber of commerce. ... "But I think everyone here would be ready to go the extra mile for this kind of event again."

It'll happen on a Sunday. I'm actually surprised it didn't happen during the Hurricane so it would get buried in the news.

Spiny Bait?
Are you kidding?
That is a sit down between Bettman and Fehr last summer discussing the upcoming CBA after they finished talking baseball and basketball...and both contemplating how it would be nice to see more fans for each of their previous sports...I guess they figured that out at least.

I know this game is a "classic" but a hockey game in a 100,000-seat stadium? Might as well put it on the moon. Like anyone could see the puck from a row ZZZ endzone seat.

That's why they sell those "I was there and only got this lousy T-shirt" deals.
