Confirmed with Link: Avs To Play Outdoor Game Feb 27th [UPD: PUBLIC sale 10/27]

[henchman21]

It was also reported a while back that the Rockies were very interested in hosting. And the Coors sponsorship thing works out there too. I wish they would do Folsom, but Coors Field seems to be a lock.

Now, to decide which band(s) will headline the event.

I get a feeling that it would be The Lumineers.

 

[bohlmeister]

Can someone make a mock up of what our chrome logo will look like?

 

[hockeyfish]

You know NBC and the NHL would get The Fray to play most likely...because they're from Denver...and that would suck badly.

They did have that one song. But holy crap, that was 10 freaking years ago.

 

[Hans Landaskog]

It will be Brad Paisley, and all will rejoice, and when I say all, I mean Matt Duchene.

 

[tigervixxxen]

The Fray isn't that bad. There is much, much worse.

Stadium series jerseys too! I want an icy grey-ish one.

 

[Pokecheque]

So long as it ain't 3OH!3 or The Fray I'll be happy.

 

[Pokecheque]

The Fray isn't that bad. There is much, much worse.

That's the problem--their drab mediocrity is what makes them so unbearable. They're Denver's answer to Matchbox 20.

Well, at least we finally get those new jersey's we've been begging for. Hopefully it leads to a possible redesign. Have the stadium series jersey's been added to NHL 14 by chance? I haven't even bothered to look for that.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

May have to make my first trip out to Denver for this one if it happens. Flyers are rumored to be playing Washington in the WC and then the Avs. Good year for me.

 

[UncleRisto]

You know NBC and the NHL would get The Fray to play most likely...because they're from Denver...and that would suck badly.

Now, now. There's always 3OH!3!

Ah, Av-merican beat me to that.

 

[Hans Landaskog]

Just noticed the shoulders on the stadium series jerseys look like baseball fields, they look terrible all around.

 

[Pokecheque]

The Denver music scene sucks if you look at the acts that made it big.

Of course I am and will always be a big Winger fan.

 

[UncleRisto]

That sounds good. Maybe they can change all of the jersey's for 2014-15. Please?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Awolnation is the obvious choice or One Republic.

Seriously though, as long as it isn't an old dinosaur I'm sure the musical act will be ok.

 

[UncleRisto]

Or let's play the Preds and have them take the music act with them. Paramore that is.

 

[RockLobster]

Awolnation is the obvious choice or One Republic.

Eh, One Republic wouldn't be terrible.

But does it have to be someone from the Denver area? If not they and they want someone from the Rock scene they should really try for Imagine Dragons, they're on fire right now.

 

[tigervixxxen]

What's the timeframe when they announce the stadium series games? Over the summer?

Here is that great article from adage to keep with the thread.

No to anything in Boulder. It would have to be at Coors or SAF...more that likely at Coors because of sponorships.

I wonder what the Avs Stadium series jerseys would look like. BTW if it happens...there is no way I would miss it.

How much were tix for the other outdoor games? Does anyone know?


Edit - The link below says avg ticket price for the Rags vs Devils was $253

Totally agree. Boulder traffic is already the worst congestion in the state. Not to mention the parking scene would be terrible.

I don't think many of us would miss it. I may be moving out of state but if it happens I'll surely fly back for it.

As long as we don't get stuck with the likes of KISS i'll be fine. I imagine they'd play off the whole cowboy thing though.

 

[tigervixxxen]

That's NY inflation which probably includes the price of luxury suites or something. I bet $100 for a game here. Some seats cheaper. The Denver market is not going to support $250 tickets when they are trying to reinvigorate the fanbase and bring back fans.

Also likely they'd have some DU or other games on the outdoor ice as well.

 

[S E P H]

Baseball stadiums ****en suck for outdoor games, put that sucker in Invesco Field.

And it better be the Winter Classic than the Stadium Series. I am very sure Avs will survive a game in Denver against Detroit.

 

[Ceremony]

Duchene's got that covered, he has his contacts in the country music scene.

The answer to what the musical accompaniment will be is obvious:

I like it. Then NBC can sell it with all the old violent clips as the rivalry making a return.

 

[Avs]

I thought the stadium series was just a this year thing as kind of a payback for the lockout??

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Yes!!!!! Definitely will be going.
