The league is set to play two games outdoors in February when the the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers and then the New York Rangers and Islanders face off at the home of the NFL's Jets and Giants.
Months after Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé played to sellout crowds at MetLife Stadium, the NHL aims to do the same with back-to-back outdoor games this winter.The New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers on Feb. 17 and then the New York Rangers and Islanders on Feb. 18 are set to play the NHL's 40th and 41st regular-season outdoor games.
Bettman said the NHL is on track to set an attendance record this season, and that doesn't even take into account the 82,500 fans expected at each of the games at the home of the NFL's Jets and Giants. It's not quite the crowd of 100,000-plus that took in the Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium on Jan. 1, 2014, but combined it could be the best-attended weekend in league history.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said the NHL event is happening at a peak time for the stadium, which recently hosted three nights of Swift's "The Eras Tour" and has been in the NFL spotlight for the ill-fated Jets debut of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Swift's appearance when Travis Kelce and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs visited.
