Can't wait to see if it works. Let's go Bolts!⚡⚡⚡
This is intents!
Let’s go Bolts!! ⚡️⚡️
Florida is so lucky to have 2 ODR games this year. This is cool ngl
This is a good challenge . The outdoor game in Tampa . It’s gonna be awesome .
I'm watching this on 1/10/2026 and it's currently 85 degrees here in Tampa 😉
CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME GO BOLTS!
This is going to be the hardest outdoor game yet. If they can do this in Tampa and keep the ice in good shape, they can build a rink in any place.
What a lifeless an uninteresting venue. Which would you rather go to, a snowy Big House in Ann Arbor, or RJS in Tampa that'll be 75% capacity?
NHL got the idea for these winter classic games with teams playing hockey in football and baseball stadiums after watching the lightning fill thunderdome (currently Tropicana field) with over 28k fans. They have had temporary outdoor rinks in tampa bay before but they were covered. The sunlight is the real enemy. Seems like they could build the temporary rink first without that giant enclosure, then cover it with a thick tarp just over the boards during the day to make the ice, but maybe they want to have public skating before/after the game?

This seems like a bad idea, hope it works
Nonsense
Amazing video. Thanks for this!
