But this would mean Chicago would be in yet ANOTHER outdoor game.
And you can bet at least a quarter of the crowd would be Hawks fans coming from Northern Illinois!

Chicago will be getting 4 outdoor games in the next 6 seasons... most of them against Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. Would have loved a Colorado/Detroit outdoor game about 15 years ago when rivalries weren't fabricated (Washington/Pittsburgh)
