Jones said he's talked to NHL officials about hosting the annual Winter Classic outdoor game. Boston's Fenway Park was home to the Philadelphia Flyers-Boston Bruins game on New Year's Day, and previous Winter Classics have been played at Chicago's Wrigley Field and Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo.
"We could obviously do something like that,' Jones said. "We've had communication with the NHL."

You do realize Cowboy's stadium is inside, right? And you also realize that with refridgerated ice you can make ice anywhere basically. And most arenas are kept around 50-60 degrees already.
They could possibly have an outdoor game in the South, probably not lower than SC and they could possibly have an outdoor game even in Texas, but Jerry Jones' Cowboy's Stadium is an indoor one anyways.
And I think if he wants one, we should give him one, even if it's not going to be outside, that would be 100,000 people in that stadium watching the game.
I had no idea Cowboy's stadium was indoors. I don't follow football.
I know that hockey arenas are kept warmer than the ice surface, too.
My biggest concern would be having it down there and not selling out.
It's Jerry Jones, he's not an idiot when it comes to marketability, He may be an oil tycoon but he had to be somewhat smart to have a fortune of over a few billion dollars.
I bet it would sell out, even if you don't care for the game of hockey people would go just to see what it's about, and I know a few people who might start watching hockey just from watching the Canada vs USA game and liking the sport that way.
It couldn't be something they decide on for next year of course, it would need to be at least 2 years in advance, especially with the Cowboys normally making the playoffs.
I mean it won't be the same as a true Outdoor game or Winter Classic, but make that a featured game, and also have an outdoor game in one of the Northern cities also, make it a double dose of hockey on New Years.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
