Jets to play Heritage Classic in Regina

[Jets 31]

They had real issues with it being too warm and the sun melting the ice when the game was in Winnipeg. They had to delay the start of the game by almost 2 hours and they probably want to avoid doing that again.

Right , i forgot about that .

"Luckily for us we have a night game so the sun will not be a factor," King said. "When we had (the 2016 NHL Heritage Classic) in Winnipeg, we had a sun delay, but wind could be a factor, so if that comes into play, we'll make adjustments that are necessary and for the teams, they'll switch ends mid-way through the third period.

No way. If this stadium was anywhere but Regina, I think most people would agree the structure itself is superior to IGF. It was designed by world class stadium architects.

Ours was... not.

Dug up this artist's rendering of the original IGF pressbox.

It would fit right in at a winter classic.

I said looks way better not built better , i wonder if their concourse cement fell apart from rolling beer kegs on it .

Still a fair number of seats available

Yeah I think a lot of people will be late buyers. I know quite a few people who want to go but will likely wait last minute. We may not sell out on this one. What might be limiting people from coming is basically every hotel and motel is booked for that night and there isnt much left in property rentals for that night either. Regina just doesnt have the capacity for this type of event.

Totally agree , i sure wouldn't want to pay for tickets and then have to stay in Yorkton because there are no places to stay in Regina . Can you imagine the fight to not have to be the DD .

Nah, sadly the stadium in Regina is nicer, better designed and without flaws!

Our stadium was designed by a guy who knew a guy who designed stadiums!

Well, serving Pilsner is a flaw.

Still, 9 PM? That's 8 local time. Also Calgary time.

I'm sure you could get a hotel closer than Yorkton.

This is too funny and sad at the same time .

I love the red pants in the Heritage Jerseys!

After being at the debacle that was the last game here I turned down free tickets to this one. Its just not that exciting and looks way better on TV.

Plus sleeping in a tent at this time of year would be very uncomfortable . #no hotels .

Trying to decide on tickets. Could use some advice from people that have been to an outdoor NHL game. I'm guessing the best seats are further up rows in the 100 sections? Any thoughts on how high up gives the best view of the ice while still being as close as possible? Highest row of the lowest sections would be what I'm looking for?

Your not gonna feel close anyways since your a mile away.....get up HIGH so you can at least see the game... IMO

I was at the Heritage Classic game in Calgary and I concur with SCP Guy, go as high up as possible for the best possible view of the ice.

The higher the better, although my Vulcan eyesight is more acute than a human's.

The nice thing about CFL stadiums is that they are quite intimate, and even the highest seats aren't really that far from the field. Unlike the monolith that is Michigan Stadium. Shit, you need binoculars just to see the Jumbotron.
