BHL Outdoor Game Announced

Another BHL outdoor game will be played this year in S6. One of the Dakota Warbirds' home games will be played outdoor, at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN. This game is intended to celebrate the 5th season of the Dakota Warbirds.

This will be the stadium's inaugural game. Ground broke for this new Minnesota Golden Gophers stadium in the year 2006. It has a capacity of slightly over 50,000 people, which would be the biggest audience ever for a BHL game.

This is a much larger undertaking than the S4 Winter Classic, which was located in a comparatively small area in Whistler, BC. Some may believe that this could go wrong for the league, resulting in an empty stadium. I think they're dead wrong. Putting an outdoor game in hockey-crazed Minnesota is one of the league's best ideas in some time.

The away team for this game is yet to be announced, it is speculated to be one of the other teams who are having their 5th season in S6, namely the Montreal Cavaliers or the Austin Marauders. This is pure speculation on my part, and has no basis on official information from either the league, or the Warbirds organization.
