AMP NHL Winter Classic: Official at Last
September 17, 2007 |
After weeks of speculation, and some ridiculously obvious news articles, the NHL announced the AMP NHL Winter Classic, which will take place on January 1, 2008, against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Of course it is exciting to see the Sabres taking part in a piece of history, but recent articles about a major announcement at Ralph Wilson Stadium kind of ruined the suspense factor. Now that it is official, tickets are slated to go on sale September 18, 2007 at 10:00 AM EST. The prices are not too bad, considering how much could have been charged. The Seating and Pricing Chart shows a range of $29 to $203. The obstructed seats seem to have a ticket price of $10, according to Let’s Go Sabres. Getting everything to move along smoothly should be the biggest challenge, but the Ice Bowl, now the AMP NHL Winter Classic, will come! To top it all off, it will be broadcast nationally in the U.S. by NBC, and by CBC and RDS in Canada. Finally, some well-deserved coverage for the Sabres!
