If the Panthers were to realize the full potential of the rebuild and emerge as an NHL powerhouse would it be crazy to host a Winter Classic in South Florida? The Los Angeles Kings held an outdoor exhibition game in 80 degree weather in Las Vegas in 1991. The Panthers could host the game in Marlins Ballpark which has the added benefit of running its A/C even when the roof is open. Heck the game could even have a Latin flavor to it showing that the game of hockey can spread regardless of the culture or surroundings. Maybe after all these cold weather cities get their games then the NHL may look for a unique game scenario like this.
