Hopefully they do an HBO 24/7 for this matchup as well because the previous ones were just phenomenal! The stadium can seat apparently around 115 000 seats and I hope getting tickets won't be a problem. There are a lot of other events going on around that week as well including an OHL game, an AHL game, an alumni game, a college game I believe, and some high school/youth games. All of which will take place at Comerica Park (Home of the Detroit Tigers). The only game to be played at Michigan Stadium (The Big House) will be the main event in which the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Detroit Red Wings. Also, there will be public skating for the fans at Comerica Park during that week of festivities.
As much as I would love to have had the winter classic in Toronto, watching the leafs play at The Big House would be pretty awesome as well. Hopefully in the near future (in time for the 2017 centennial season) the leafs can host an outdoor game right here in Toronto. At this point the only viable option for a stadium to hold the game would be BMO field but perhaps they would do it at Ivor Wynne.
As Brian Burke said, its going to be "Hockeytown vs The Center of the Hockey Universe!"
