    The configuration is ridiculous. Holding it in a baseball stadium is stupid

    I personally don't think it will be as good as Buffalo just due to the crowd size. That was one of the biggest things IMO, having those players play in front of 70,000 plus fans.

    Where else are they going to have this game?
    Soldier Field can't have it if the Bears got in the playoffs.

    only 41,000 fans there.... last year didn't we have like 71,000 in the Ralph?? the NHL needs to learn that NFL stadiums are the way to go, more fans and a better view for the fans paying good money to see it!

    The fans don't give a **** about the seats. No one goes to Wrigley to actually watch a game.

    Just as feasible as the Bears, who were also coming off a 7-9 season when this game was scheduled, in May.

    Nice goal. And I like the hand-operated scoreboard.

    Darren Pang says that this setup is better because the fans are closer...All those fans look like they are sitting on their hands compared to Buffalo fans last year.
