Finally! 
That also means the Preds and Nashville will be featured on the "Road to the Winter Classic" show. I think I might be even more excited for this than the game!
Also he said that Nashville was the really most logical choice to play Dallas when they looked at analytics, rivalries, etc. (Suck on that haters!
)
I just can't see a Winter Classic being played at Nissan Stadium. A Stadium Series game, yes, but unless the Titans are willing to have their last 2 games of the season on the road and they don't have a home playoff game, I don't think we'll ever get a home Winter Classic. Now when/if we get that soccer stadium...

Don't count out Nashville getting a home outdoor game at all. Bill Daly was on the NHL network talking about it and said that although they picked Nashville as the Dallas opponent, they really wanted to get Nashville a home outdoor game.

Glad it's you guys! Should be a great game and an exciting event.
Most fans around the league don't realize it (nor would they really have a reason to) but Preds and Stars is a low-key budding little southern rivalry. For those in the know, this is a nice under the radar matchup for this event. I hope to be there. Unfortunately my aunt and uncle moved away from Dallas so I can't stay there. Oh well.

Yeah not pricey right now. No idea if this event plus NYE will make things get more expensive so figured might as well get my risk free booking in early.

Hey! You suck!
I'd like to see them come up with one that just has Nashville on it rather than a logo, or at least something different.

And I hope that it's primarily gold. It would be cool to see Preds gold vs Stars green on the ice. Something with the stripes and collar on that example, but just gold. Maybe a big NSH or NASH on the front. Or even a tri-star guitar pick logo. There are so many possibilities.
I've always thought it would be cool to see a jersey where the main logo was more or less the actual sabertooth skull that was found but it would be difficult to work around, and definitely shouldn't be a full-time primary logo. Maybe this one game scenario would work. I know we kinda had it for awhile as a shoulder patch but it was a pretty modified version. Won't happen but just a thought. And yeah, I'd also be on board with something just emphasizing "Nashville"

man I hate these 'games'. the first few were nostalgic, now they've become just poor hockey games.

This one will be nostalgic for us as it will always be our first one, regardless of if we get one in Nashville soon.
I'm in with a big group. Probably 15+ all in. People seem very excited.

Fort Worth. It’s really easy to get to Dallas from FW and it’s honestly got just as much to do.
Fort Worth and Nashville are pretty comparable cities tbh.

Waiting to see if I can get a free space to stay before I book my lodging.

How do tickets work for this thing? Gotta think DAL STH get the lions share right? This is gonna be expensive for us I think.
Not really sure but, given the size of the cotton bowl vs a standard hockey arena, I’m certain they could easily accommodate both sth bases and still have more than enough to go around.

NSH STH gets priority too i believe.
but as LC said, considering the size of the venue.. there should be plenty of tickets and if you wait and pay stubhub prices or not, i think prices shouldn't be bad. just considering the number of tickets.
most expensive part of the trip would be flights. then hotel. hotels weren't too bad when i looked.
I think this is correct- the Preds sent out a message saying something to the effect that Preds STH would have priority for tickets, so I am hoping we will have first crack at tickets through the Preds.

I was under the impression that STH will be guaranteed a ticket if they want one. Would be pretty upset if that weren't true.
