Confirmed with Link: Ottawa Senators playing in Outdoor Game Next Year

[BonkTastic]

As part of our 25th anniversary season!

It's been quietly discussed for months now, but I looks like it's far closer to reality than rumor at this point:

I imagine it will be against the Leafs (since it will be their 100th anniversary that year). Bring on that sweet new Heritage Classic jersey!

....at Lansdowne. That would be amazing.

I dunno how I feel about the leafs this is suppose to be our event, but if its something this big involving the leafs I can see it being a 70 - 30 in favour of the leafs. Habs at least give us a chance for 50-50

Leafs got the Winter Classic against the Rangers. So it won't be them.

This needs to be done and to sell the seats in opposing sections. Leafs fans on one side, Sens fans on the other.
Just need to decide whether Sens fans will be on North side or South side.

 

[Beville]

Would definitely want to be involved in this...

Regardless of who we play.

North side sucks!

Leafs are getting the game at BMO field. Maybe they will have two games?

 

[DuckedUpOnQuack]

It's going to be a home town sell out no matter who we play, so I'd rather not vs Leafs/Habs for obvious reasons. Why not our expansion brothers Tampa Bay? It's their 25 year as well and there's no way they're having an outdoor game at home.

I don't know if they are now this time last year they were going to get the classic/All Star Game/Draft now that does not seem a lock as it was.

I thought they were looking at December 2017

 

[Benjamin]

I'd rather watch a game in Florida's arena.

I'm down. It would be nice not have a memorable moment for the city be crashed by opposition fans, but I think they care about ticket prices more. Leafs and Habs fans will be willing to dish out a lot to go.

Jan 2017 I think. It's the leafs 100th season next season (and 50th anniversary of their last cup which is hilarious)

I've heard December 2017 for two reasons:

-100th anniversary of the opening night of the NHL when Montreal and Ottawa played
-If they can't get the Parliament Hill game they will take Landsdowne with the expanded seating from the Grey Cup in November 2017 still up

 

[Super Cake]

Nice.

 

[danishh]

it'll be against montreal. i'm pretty sure sens brass has stated they want it against montreal. Expect a lot of montreal winter carnival and silver seven lore.

 

[saskriders]

I want a full barber pole jersey.

 

[Flamingo]

I want a crowd of fans in togas, and a roman centurion parachuting into the middle of Landsdowne.

...I seem to recall Los Angeles hosting an outdoor game. Tampa can't be any hotter or more humid than LA.

That moment was so bad, it was almost good.

A redux would only be better. Hire the same dude.

If we did it every year, I would probably be ok with that, if only to piss the rest of the league off on an annual basis.

As long as we're all (as a fanbase) in on the joke, then we might as well have fun with it.
