Fenway set to host next NHL outdoor game

Alright, so I'm a hockey fan. And I think this is pretty cool. A hockey game in Fenway will definitely be quite the spectacle. The only thing I have against it is that Fenway Park is probably the smallest possible venue you could pick to host an outdoor game. Fenway only seats about 37,000 fans.

If the NHL really wants to put on a HUGE outdoor game, it will only be a matter of time they book Beaver Stadium (Penn St. footbal stadium) in State College, PA for a game between the Pittsburgh Penguins, which has 2 of the 3 most recognizable players in the league and their cross-state rivals the Philadelphia Flyers. Beaver Stadium seats a little over 107,000 people, and there is no doubt in my mind the NHL would fill that place if those 2 teams were playing. Imagine seeing a hockey game with 107,000 other people! It would be amazing and great for the sport.
