I realized something recently. The Columbus Blue Jackets will never be in the Winter Classic.
There’s three reasons for this, two of which are brought to you by Ohio State football. The main reason is that Ohio State sees no need to properly winterize the Horseshoe, which might help for an event called the Winter Classic. Now, this may change with an expanded College Football Playoff, but early indications are that Gene Smith and co. would rather use Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Alright, so the Horseshoe is a no-go. How about a road game?
