"It'll be a winter celebration for the region," Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato said of a New Year's Day outdoor game between the Penguins and Washington Capitals at Heinz Field.Although this will be the fourth Winter Classic, it will be the first played in a football stadium. Heinz Field seats more than 66,000 and Pittsburgh officials "are optimistic" that a majority of that seating will be available for this event.
Ticket information along with an unveiling of the Pittsburgh's Winter Classic logo are expected sometime in late June during a press conference.
According to ESPN.com (reported in the same article in the Washington Post), it will also be announced that a second outdoor game between the Flames and Canadiens (played in Calgary) tentatively scheduled for February.
So STAY TUNED!!

This is so cliche. I think that the league is kind of selling out, I mean the classic was supposed to be sentimental, going back to hockey's roots. Now it's just another way for the league to be making money.
I still want to get tickets though...
