Michigan Officials Approve Leasing Stadium For NHL Winter Classic

The Univ. of Michigan Board of Regents today approved leasing Michigan Stadium to the NHL for the Maple Leafs-Red Wings Winter Classic outdoor game on Jan. 1 for $3M. While liquor is not served on campus at Michigan, a "liquor license would be obtained." Also, while there is "no advertising at Michigan Stadium for football games," the NHL "will have advertising and other sponsorship agreements throughout the stadium." It is believed that Red Wings Owner Mike Ilitch "wanted the Winter Classic to be at Comerica Park" (DETROITNEWS.com, 2/8).

The NHL has scheduled a press conference to formally announce Winter Classic plans tomorrow at Comerica Park (NHL).
