“The outdoor game will be the headline event of our franchise’s 20th anniversary season in Colorado, with many other great events planned throughout the year.” ~Josh Kroenke, Avalanche owner
When the Colorado Avalanche announced they were in the running for a Stadium Series game during the 2013-14 season, we were all so excited. We had been watching the same teams play those outdoor games, and as lame as it was to just see the Chicago Blackhawks-Detroit Red Wings -LA Kings, etc, playing over and over, we were intrigued by the notion.
Outdoor games are half pond hockey, half circus act.
