Give me Hockey Weather on February 26th at Nissan Stadium
It’s a roll of the ice, much like most of the year in Nashville, when it comes to what the weather will be like in just two months from now when the Nashville Predators take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at Nissan Stadium.
This will be the first ever outdoor home game for the Predators, and only the second in franchise history. As memorable and cool as the Cotton Bowl was, that game ended in nightmare fashion as the Dallas Stars won the Winter Classic.
At that point in February it could still be plenty cold enough to feel like hockey weather, and maybe even get treated to some snowfall. How cool would that be to see snow falling on a brisk day in front of over 60,000 fans at Nissan Stadium?
It just won’t feel the same if it’s one of those random winter days in Tennessee when the temperature feels more like Spring. Heck we’re seeing it right now on Christmas Eve.
I’ll be happy regardless to finally see outdoor hockey in Nashville, but cold hockey weather with some snow falling between two “Southern” teams will really be icing on the cake for what’s going to be an awesome scene for Predators fans. Help me out, Mother Nature.
