I know as a Washington fan I am probably biased, but it could make a great venue. Can you imagine having the game at the NFL’s largest park-Fed Ex field? We would have close to 100,000 which is something Buffalo last year and Chicago next year would not be able to accommodate. Or better yet, how about visiting one of our super huge college stadiums like the horseshoe in Ohio State or the Big House in Michigan? Ohio would be an interesting choice as they have no NHL hockey now. Of course my big concern with DC is would it be cold enough? I know the ice is cooled from below, but still we have had some mild winters here lately.

Unless the Bears get their offense in order, there won’t be any games at Soldier Field come January 1 anyway

I’d love to see the game in Wrigley — just imagine the ivy-covered brick used as part of the rink’s boards. Seriously though, what a terrific vibe it would be to have the game in Wrigley — plus that field is unused in the winter, unlike the Bears’ home.
