Why?
Can anyone explain why this particular game had such high attendance? --Doradus 11:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Because it was played outdoors in a football stadium. Also, Michigan and Michigan State are big college rivals. 207.203.80.14 11:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, but don't just tell me -- put it in the article! --Doradus 18:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I added a sentence saying that MSU held the game in Spartan Stadium instead of the much small Munn Ice Arena. [[User:Lovelac7|

 * More children play hockey in Michigan than any other state, and at the time the Detroit Red Wings were enjoying huge successes, therefore there was certainly buzz in the state for a large hockey game. Secondly, MSU and UM are archrivals and share a state. Third, nothing on this scale had ever been attempted before and there certainly was demand for tickets to experience the game. Lastly, MSU has just come off winning the national title in hockey the previous year and was ranked #1, UM was ranked #4. 141.217.221.212 06:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Internationally televised
Meaning Canada, or more than that?


 * No, just Canada. I don't know why it's "interntational".

college table
I think it would look better if the the two tables were the same size, appearance.

hey, also i dont know where to put this, but the article states it was wayne gretzky's last professional hockey game. this is untrue. he was not playing for edmonton or montreal at this point, and took part only as an exhibition game played before.

Television
In the first paragraph, the article states that the game was televised internationally, and in the Television section it states that it was televised nationally. Which is it? (I'm going to change it for the time being.) Kevinmon (talk) 22:00, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

List of other outdoor games
Is it really necessary to list details of so many other outdoor games? This article is about this one particular game, and yet there is relatively little about the Michigan-Michigan State game compared to lists of outdoor games played since then and speculation about future games. This isn't an article about outdoor hockey. Yes, it's important to say that this was the first in recent history and it spawned a trend of staging outdoor games in large venues, and state that the NHL now holds the Winter Classic annually. But as the list of outdoor games continues to grow, they really shouldn't all be noted individually in this article.Djob (talk) 08:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Validity of Possible Beaver Stadium/ Penguins Game
The quoted article seems to have no bearing to the comment made about the 'biggest' hockey game. "Rumors" aren't pertinent to wikipedia articles unless they are backed with fact, at which point they aren't rumors. I suggest that these sentences are removed. Also, by the time this game could possibly be played, it is projected that Michigan Stadium will have a larger seating capacity, thus negating the comment entirely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.125.178.102 (talk) 21:36, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
