NHL fans and hockey fans in general continue to remain fans of outdoor hockey, with outdoor games like the NHL's Winter Classic continuing to draw impressive ratings and fan support.
The state of Pennsylvania may be looking to take the draw of outdoor hockey one step further, by creating an outdoor battle for the hockey supremacy in the state and that battle may take place at Penn State's heralded Beaver Stadium. More from

Beaver Stadium has been the long time home for Penn State football, but how about watching a hockey game there?
Penn State officials confirm they are seriously considering the idea, whether it is an NHL or Big Ten game.
With the new Pegula Ice Arena almost ready to open, there's a lot of hockey excitement in State College.
Joe Battista, of Penn State Hockey Operations, says the Pittsburgh Penguins would probably faceoff against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Before we see the Flyers and Penguins "battle for Pennsylvania", a few logistical hurdles need to be cleared, namely the schedule upon which Beaver Stadium is winterized and parking. That being said, if officials show enough interest, which seems likely, we may very well see an outdoor Penguins/Flyers game in the near future.
