Say what you will about all the outdoor games the NHL has planned; in Chicago, fans are clearly excited for the Blackhawks-Penguins contest at Soldier Field on March 1 (on NBC). The league announced today that the game sold out in less than 24 hours after tickets went on sale Wednesday morning.
Other outdoor games will be held this season at Michigan Stadium (Winter Classic), Yankee Stadium, Dodger Stadium, and BC Place.
