Hey there Soy, ther reason the NHL gets away with calling it the 2nd Winter Classic is because the game in '03 was called the Heritage Classic. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
The tix for the game are $75 for Box seats (considered 'obstructed view' because of the rink wall and glass), $225 for Mezanine (behind the Box seats, then $325 for Upper Deck and Outfield seats.
The problem is you can't order tix for that game under the individual game tix windows. Those are 'special' tix and you might have to win the Lottery for the chance to get 'em. Another way is to make it to a home game, get called during an intermission and try to get the closest to a goal from center line with a cutout in front of the goal with just a little rectangle cut out of the bottom. Seriously!!

As far as going to the game goes, I would have to win the Lottery first. The News did show how the rink was going to be layed out in the outfield, in short center field...win or lose it is going to be an exciting game to watch...I hope you get to catch it, I'm pretty stoked for it!!
These Blackhawks are at least being competitive, if they could only improve their shoot out game. They've lost more points in ties than they have in losses...I guess it could be worse!!
