It is hard for them to fill JLA just for the championship games let alone the other three. The closest we have come to filling a stadium of 19,000 was the U-M / MSU championship this past year. I dont think using a stadium that has 25,000+ seats, and it being outdoors is a great idea at all. But if like you said, the championship game was there that would be pretty cool!Nick Collingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284734951740953124.post-19150132384354060672012-01-13T20:08:57.603-05:002012-01-13T20:08:57.603-05:00The Winter Classic will sell out easily.

Maybe they just do the championship there?<br /><br />And also good point about New Year's Day bowl games. I've always hated the fact the WC is on the same day as so many CFB games.Chris Vanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999326510901853884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284734951740953124.post-72486221515519518182012-01-13T19:07:33.867-05:002012-01-13T19:07:33.867-05:00not sure I'm a fan of either of those options....not sure I'm a fan of either of those options. sitting outside for 2 games on each of 2 days for the GLI sounds pretty darn cold. and quite frankly, I'd be surprised if they can fill the Big House. <br /><br />what if UM and MSU both happen to be playing in New Years Day bowl games? will 110,000 fans be willing to sit out in the cold for a hockey game, but miss the bowl games?my2fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457239434851029876noreply@blogger.com
