Mike Eaves was on 'On Wisconsin' with Brian Posick Tuesday and floated the idea of playing a future outdoor game at Miller Park.In the past Eaves has said that they would like to do one of these events every four years.

Thoughts on Miller Park as a potential location for a game?

I'm not sure how the sightlines would be in a stadium configured for baseball, but the architecture of Miller Park being able to block the wind could make going to the game much more tolerable for the fans. Shit, why not?

Will they have beer and bratwurst? If so, I'm all for it!

Aren't the Legend All Stars playing the NHL classic at Comerica Park next year while the Leafs and Red Wings play at The Big House?

Quite frankly, who gives a flying fuck about the sightlines? It's an event. For one game, you deal with shitty seats and enjoy the event rather than dedicating yourself to purely watching the sport.

If I'm going to Chicago, I'm going to Milwaukee.

This is the standard layout for a rink on a baseball field. They've done NHL Winter Classic outdoor games at Wrigley in Chicago, Fenway in Boston, and this past year at Citizens Bank Park in Philly.

I went with family to the one at the Camp and had a blast, agreed it's an event. I was just curious as to how it would look at Miller, and given how it looks in the picture above you'd probably be closer to the rink at Miller Park than at the Camp. Depending on when it is, I'd love to hit that up.

Why would they keep the roof open if the game is at Miller Park? Wouldn't it make a whole lot more sense to let everyone be more comfortable and close it?

The foul lines at MP are close to the seating bowl, so the rink would be close. MP can be raised to a temperature of 20 degrees higher than the outside temperature, so comfort is a state of mind. Since MP is 20 minutes away and parking is readily available I'm all for it!

You mess with the bull, you get the horns

I would be all for it. The tailgating at Lambeau in '06 was almost as good as the game. I would imagine MP would be the same.

Bucky could go down Bernie's slide after each goal.

No doubt I'd go. Great outing.

Awesome! I think this would be a real winner for UW, and the parking lot would be choked full of tailgaters in February. Sounds like fun!

Play Notre Dame or North Dakota or BC in non-conference.
