Our trip to Michigan culminated in the NHL Winter Classic game in the Big House on New Years Day.
The Red Wings faced off against the Toronto Maple Leafs in an outdoor hockey game at the University of Michigan's football stadium. The stadium is called the Big House because it is the largest college football stadium in the US holding a whopping 110,000+ screaming Wolverine fans. (Ann Marie used to work for the U of M hospital and has had season tickets for years.)
The Winter Classic game was absolutely
FREEZING!! Start to finish......we were in our seats more than four hours. This included overtime and a shoot-out. During that time, we endured 3" of snow and temps in the teens!
What a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience! I thought we would never thaw out. :)
